In this episode of the Teach Them Diligently podcast, David and Leslie Nunnery discuss the importance of parenting toward goals and specifically focus on the topics of desires, sexual integrity, and healthy communication. They emphasize the need for parents to bring their children to Jesus Christ and teach them how to channel their desires in a way that glorifies God. They also highlight the dangers of sexual immorality, uncleanness, and covetousness, and the importance of teaching discernment and self-regulation. David and Leslie share tangible ways to put off these different sin struggles and how to replace them with thanksgiving.


Takeaways:
  • Parents are called to bring their children to Jesus Christ and strategically parent towards this goal.
  • Teaching children to channel their desires in a way that glorifies God is crucial.
  • Parents should be aware of the dangers of sexual immorality, uncleanness, and covetousness, and teach their children discernment and self-regulation.
