Heaven In Your Home Francie Winslow

There are simple ways to have big conversations. You can purposefully plant seeds of God’s Word into the hearts of your children. Realizing it’s not about a “sex talk," you can be equipped to disciple your children with frequent touch points, vulnerability and humility.
Let’s lean into the goodness of God and choose to walk in His peace, His joy and His celebration through shared language. That’s what Heaven in Your Home Family Music is all about.
In today’s episode we welcome Kathryn Brunner, my real life friend who is a beautiful singer/songwriter who collaborated to bring Heaven in Your Home Family Music to your home. We will unpack the vision, the purpose and the meaning behind these culture-shifting songs.
 
Listen in, be equipped and encouraged as you take hold of the JOY and CELEBRATION of God and the crown of His creation, YOU!

We’re talking about sex and our kids. How do we talk to our kids about sex? About their bodies? What’s normal? And, what do we do about hot topics like touching themselves?
This episode is actually a peek inside The Circle, the group mentorship that meets for monthly live teaching. This is a more in depth conversation about navigating healthy sexual development in our kids, through the ages and stages, based on this core framework:
Sex is good and of God
Sexual curiosity is natural
Sexual responsiveness is natural
Sexual responsibility belongs to each person
Mutual respect and Biblical values are the guide for all sexual relationships

You have permission to break free from silence and shame and show up in a different way. 
Perhaps you’ve experienced silence or unhelpful messages about your body and your sexuality. You’ve heard about sex being a man’s need or a wife’s duty. You’ve been told your body is a stumbling block and that sexual desire is dirty. The “don’t do it, don’t do it” message is ingrained in your brain, even if you’re already married.
 
It’s no wonder you show up to marriage with questions and even some confusion, unable to access desire or express passion. While you want to find answers and learn how to make the shift from “don’t do it” to fully embracing the beauty of the marriage bed, there’s a lot of silence, hurt and unhelpful messages out there that keep us stuck. 
 
To build a love that lasts, you must begin with a strong foundation. Learn about a brand new resource developed to help you get a new lens, a Biblically integrated and practically grounded vision for sex. 
 
The Strong Foundations course provides a comprehensive guide to starting the conversation and building a strong foundation for a healthy and fulfilling marriage.
