052 | Dr. Jim Burns: A Student's Guide to Sexual Integrity

Welcome back to TIPS! In this episode, Ashlie and Gilbert chat with Dr. Jim Burns, best-selling author, founder of HomeWord, and well-known youth and family expert with decades of experience helping families navigate development with a Christ-centered focus. Dr. Burns shares his journey into ministry and what prompted him to write his latest book, A Student's Guide to Sexual Integrity: God's Plan for Sex and Your Body, explaining his realization that kids need a blunt, honest, and biblical approach that parents and the church haven’t always provided. He discusses changing the narrative around sexual integrity from negative or "purity culture" extremes to a positive, healthy, and unashamedly biblical view that treats all people with love while upholding truth. He talks about why sex conversations feel so awkward for both kids and adults, and shares strategies like directly addressing the awkwardness that can surround such conversations. It’s a critical need for parents to be the primary source of positive, value-centered sex education, so listen in as Dr. Burns walks us through how to become that for our kids. Let’s get started!
