240- How to Help Our Kids Navigate A Porn-Saturated World | with guest John-Michael Bout

Posted by: WCSG & Hole In My Heart | Friday, April 11th, 2025 (12:00am)

If the average age of pornography exposure is between 8 and 12 years old, and the majority of Christians are looking at it regularly, we need to talk about it. 

Specifically, documentary creator and author John Michael Bout helps us ask and answer:

How can we help our kids prepare to see it?

How can we help them recover?

What hope do we have?

| Highlights |

“Parents are often like, ‘We live in a technological world. I know there is pornography out there. I have no idea what to do!” We can throw our hands in the air, and bury our heads in the sand. I always want to say to parents, ‘Yeah, this is hard. This is challenging. We live in a unique time. But God has given you everything you need to talk about sexuality.”

“At the heart of every situation where there is pornography going on, there are good and holy desires. They are finding their end in a counterfeit—in the wrong thing.”

“There are good studies to show that the first person to teach on the topic will become the expert. As a parent, you want to be the expert when it comes to questions of sexuality.”
