 PODCAST | APPLE PODCAST |  SPOTIFY  | YOUTUBE 

Talking to our kids about pornography might feel overwhelming, but avoiding the conversation doesn’t make the issue disappear. In today’s powerful episode, I sit down with Greta Eskridge—writer, speaker, and Instagram’s Ma and Pa Modern—to discuss her new book, It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn. Greta shares her deeply personal journey, why this conversation is so urgent, and how parents can prepare their kids to navigate a world saturated with explicit content. This isn’t about fear—it’s about empowerment, wisdom, and hope.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

1. Why waiting to talk about pornography until your child is older can leave them vulnerable.
2. How today’s pornified culture is shaping kids’ views of sex, relationships, and self-worth.
3. Practical strategies for starting age-appropriate conversations early.
4. How to respond with grace and wisdom if your child has already been exposed.
5. Why a tech-only solution (filters, parental controls) isn’t enough—and what else parents need to do.

Key Takeaways:

1. Be Proactive, Not Reactive – The best time to talk to your kids about pornography is before they encounter it, equipping them with a plan for when they do.
2. Shame Thrives in Silence – If your child has been exposed to porn, don’t respond with anger or shame. Create a safe, open space for honest conversations.
3. Porn Culture is Everywhere – Kids don’t need a smartphone to be exposed; they can see inappropriate content through peers, social media, and even school environments.
4. Parent with Hope, Not Fear – God is bigger than pornography. Our job isn’t to shield kids from everything but to prepare them with wisdom and discernment.
5. We’re Not Alone in This Fight – Moms, let’s link arms, shed the shame, and start talking. We’re stronger together, and our kids need us to be bold.
