Notes from the Parent Only Session minus the answers to the questions from Josh and Michelle. I'll try to post a somewhat shortened response to each of those questions later. Some of the stuff we didn't even get to due to time.
Parent Only Session
(Josh) Share Stats
(Michelle) Share what questions kids asked
(Josh) Who is responsible for teaching your kids about sexuality/sex?
Group Question:
What are some of the sexual lies you’re kids’ are exposed to?
GREAT AND GODLY SEX STARTS BETWEEN THE EARS BEFORE IT’S BETWEEN THE LEGS.
When (the devil) lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
(Michelle) What are your students learning relationally/spouse, our bodies and others, and media?
Media is wrecking the family.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32
WHAT SATAN DOESN’T WANT YOUR KIDS TO KNOW ABOUT SEX
• YOUR BOD BELONGS TO GOD.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body… 1 Corinthians 6:13
porneia (por-ni'-ah); illicit sex including adultery, incest, premarital sex, or any extramarital sexual arousal.
Big Idea:
Purity is the pathway to intimacy!
(Michelle) Do I tell them about my past?
WHY STAY PURE?
1) SEX IS STICKY.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." 1 Corinthians 6:15-16
2) SEXUAL SIN IS MESSY.
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18
(Josh) What if my child has made a mistake?
3) SEXUAL PURITY IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:1-2
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me…Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Psalms 51:10, 12
When our view of God increases our desire to focus and worship him increases.
(Michelle) Talking about sex/sexuality is a process – not a “talk”, must revisit in over and over.
Commit to pray.
Question:
What can you do today to better worship God with purity?

Here is the second half of the article by Justin Hilliker, God’s P.A.T.H. for parenting: part two. This is a must read for all parents and future parents. He closes the article out by hitting the last two letters in P.A.T.H., Training and Helping.

What P.A.T.H. are You Creating for Your Kids
What paths are your children taking?
Are we as parents helping our children to set the right course for their lives. What path do you want your kids to take? What we say, do, and don't do speak volumes to our children. Recently Tommy Hilliker wrote a great article about helping your children find the right path. He hits the first two points in his article called God’s P.A.T.H. for parenting. I will post on part two when it is released later this week.
His path includes four key directions:
Provide a spiritual foundation for your family.
Accept your children unconditionally.
Train them intentionally.
Help them develop healthy godly habits.
A Couple of Questions:
How often do you read scripture with your children a week?
Do you have a time set aside for you and your children to grow spiritually?
Do you ever find it hard to accept your kids no matter what?
