A Letter to the Man on the Other Side of the Screen

Episode 170  In her teen years, Anna Malika got involved with an older man who asked her to be part of his “art project” as a model. This quickly turned to degrading and violent sexual acts. Unbeknownst to her, degrading photos of her were mass-produced and sold to others. Anna speaks with us today about how she was groomed by this man, the downward spiral it caused in her life, and how the Lord redeemed her from that life.

Trafficked into Porn

Episode 169  Christian parents often try to filter the media their kids consume, but how do we actually teach our children media discernment? It is one thing to guard their eyes and ears. But how do we also train them to identify the subtle and not-so-subtle messages that come from movies, TV, music, and video games. Today we’re continuing our conversation from last week with Phillip Telfer, producer and co-director of the award-winning documentary, Captivated: Finding Freedom in a Media Captive Culture. Phillip is also the director of Media Talk 101, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping families learn to take their thoughts captive for Christ in a media saturated society. Show Notes: 0:49 – What kinds of false messages come through modern media? 9:41 – How do parents dialogue with their children around the good and bad messages of media? 14:15 – How do we find the time to co-view media with our children? 19:10 – What are practical tools we can use to analyze the media our kids consume?

Teaching Our Kids Media Discernment

Episode 168  In the modern world, media consumes our lives. From TVs to touchscreens, from text messages to tablets, media is part of our every day lives. How much is too much? Today we are speaking with Phillip Telfer, founder of Media Talk 101. Media Talk 101 has been serving Christians and Christian families for over 10 years, talking about the importance of guarding not just what media we consume but how much we consume. As Christians we are called to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16), but when our lives are dominated by media, this can prove very difficult. Show Notes: 0:54 – What is Media Talk 101 and why did it start? 4:02 – Often parents pay attention to the kind of media kids consume, but should parents be just as concerned about the amount of media their children consume? What do the statistics tell us? 14:18 – What’s so bad about lots of media consumption? 20:50 – How much media consumption should we allow in our homes? 25:27 – What are biblical principles parents can teach their kids related to media consumption? How do we put these principles into practice? Learn more about Media Talk 101’s award-winning documentary, Captivated: Finding Freedom in a Media Captive Culture.

Consumed By Media: Parental Wisdom for the 21st Century

Episode 167  Three thousand years ago, Solomon’s most celebrated love song, “The Song of Songs,” presented a very countercultural view of sex, one that shattered both pagan and prudish views of sexuality. Today, the message of the Song of Songs is needed just as much as when it was written, to speak to a culture that needs to know the goodness and power of sex in God’s created order. To help us unpack this rich topic, we are speaking with George M. Schwab, Sr., Professor of Old Testament at Erskine Theological Seminary. Professor Schwab is author of several books in Old Testament studies, including the revised edition of the Expositor’s Bible Commentary of The Song of Solomon. Shows Notes: 0:37 – What is the book, The Song of Solomon, all about? 1:52 – What does the book tell us about the woman’s family life before she was married? What does this tell us about the way in which love best flourishes? 7:21 – What does the book mean when it warns the reader not to arouse or awaken love until it pleases? 9:56 – Why does the woman ask the maidens of Jerusalem to swear by “the gazelle” or by “the does of the field”? 12:34 – How is sex described in the Song of Solomon? How did it challenge alternative views of sex in the past? How does the Song of Solomon challenge views of sex today? 18:14 – The Song of Solomon hearkens back to Genesis in several ways. First, how does it describe the covenant of marriage? 20:12 – Second, how does it describe marriage as a reclamation of the Garden of Eden? Professor Schwab’s Divisions of the Book: Poem #1 – 1:2-12 Poem #2 – 1:13-2:7 Poem #3 – 2:8-17 Poem #4 – 3:1-5 Poem #5 – 3:6-11 Poem #6 – 4:1-7 Poem #7 – 4:8-5:1 Poem #8 – 5:2-8 Poem #9 – 5:9-6:3 Poem #10 – 6:4-10 Poem #11 – 6:11-7:12 Poem #12 – 7:13-8:4 Poem #13 – 8:5-7 Poem #14 – 8:8-14 Get our weekly podcasts in your inbox E-mail                                                              jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_render', function(event, formId, currentPage){if(formId == 84) {} } );jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_conditional_logic', function(event, formId, fields, isInit){} ); jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery(document).trigger('gform_post_render', [84, 1]) } ); Listen to more of our podcasts on iTunes.

Preaching About Sex: Using the Song of Solomon to Challenge a Porn Culture

Episode 166  When couples hit a marriage crisis or when parents hit a parenting crisis, often what is needed is not just more or better information to solve the problems. Rather, what is needed most are deeper and richer relationships—relationships that equip us to react to one another in love, forgiveness, and compassion. Joy-filled relationships are the bedrock of family life and health. Today, we are speaking to Keith Dorsche, creator of The Communication Cure, a simple product that helps families create joy-filled conversations and experiences. (For faith-based talks, go to faith.thecommunicationcure.com.) Show Notes: 1:07 – What is The Communication Cure and how is it used? 3:51 – Why did you create The Communication Cure? 8:57 – What research from the field of neuroscience shape the way The Communication Cure was designed? 12:47 – Did neurology play a role in both the audio and video experiences? 21:23 – How did the Scriptures shape the vision for The Communication Cure? 25:27 – If someone thinks this whole thing is a little corny, how would you convince people to give this a try?

The Missing Foundation of Family Life

Episode 165  Paul tells us in Galatians 5:16-18, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” What does it mean to walk in the Spirit? In today’s program, we explore this topic in detail. Show Notes: 0:32 – One of the earliest Christian debates: How do we live out our faith? What does obedience to God look like now that Jesus has come? 3:50 – Why did God give us the law covenant of Moses? To show us our inability to follow God in our own power. 7:23 – If we don’t obey God under the old covenant of law but rather under the new covenant of the Spirit, what does it mean to keep in step with the Spirit? The book of Galatians offers us three clues… 9:32 – We walk in the Spirit by indulging in Spirit-born desires. We don’t kill sinful desire by pushing it down, but by trumping it with something more desirable than sin—the wholesome desires of God and His good gifts. 17:18 – We walk in the Spirit by stirring up our Spirit-inspired hope. We shouldn’t fight against sin as if we still a slave to it, but knowing we belong to Christ, knowing it is our destiny to become righteous. 29:06 – We walk in the Spirit by resting in our Spirit-given identity. We shouldn’t fight sin as if we are a spiritual orphans trying to earn God’s love, but knowing we are adopted sons of God, loved beyond comprehension already. “The soul tends to shrink to the size and quality of its pleasures.” – John Piper Get our weekly podcasts in your inbox E-mail                                                              jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_render', function(event, formId, currentPage){if(formId == 84) {} } );jQuery(document).bind('gform_post_conditional_logic', function(event, formId, fields, isInit){} ); jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery(document).trigger('gform_post_render', [84, 1]) } ); Listen to more of our podcasts on iTunes.

Bringing the Sexual Spark Back to a Porn-Scarred Marriage

Episode 163  Often when it comes to overcoming a deeply ingrained habit of looking at pornography, men often don’t know where to start.

It is often a symptom of something much deeper. Today we’re interviewing Stephen Kuhn, founder of Belt of Truth Ministries, and author of 10 Lies Men Believe About Porn. On today’s podcast, Stephen tells us just a few of the lies written about in this book. Be sure to listen to the end of the podcast for a special offer from Belt of Truth.

The Lies Men Believe About Porn

Episode 162  For the last two weeks we’ve been interviewing Thomas Umstattd, Jr., author of Courtship in Crisis: The Case for Traditional Dating. For seven years Thomas ran the website PracticalCourtship.com, but eventually, after speaking with a lot of people trying to follow the so-called “courtship model,” he began to wonder if courtship is all its cracked up to be. In today’s interview, he describes what “traditional dating” is and why he thinks its a better system. Show Notes: 1:14 – If I want to be involved in my children’s romantic choices, why is traditional dating a good model? 4:13 – What is “traditional dating” exactly? What are the rules of engagement? 13:14 – What does parental involvement look like in a traditional dating model? 16:07 – Why is good parenting not very compatible with modern courtship? 18:16 – For someone wants to start practicing traditional dating, isn’t that hard to do if you’re surrounded by people who don’t hold that model?
