Pastor, Author, and Speaker Mike Novotny joins the show to talk about why certain topics—like sex, shame, and sin—feel so “taboo,” and how parents can break the silence with Gospel-centered conversations. Drawing from his personal battle with pornography, Mike shares practical ways to create a culture of honesty, grace, and truth in the home.
He emphasizes the importance of these conversations, and encourages parents to have them early. He also reminds us that God’s design for healing is found in community. This episode offers hope, wisdom, and tools to help you talk with your kids about hard things—without shame and with the love of Christ at the center.
