But I look at this and I read this and I
00:00:01
just I'm like blown away that so many
00:00:05
parents just willingly handed this over
00:00:07
to their child and said here and those
00:00:10
kids read this book and they implemented
00:00:12
these things and these parents walked
00:00:14
away, you know, wiping their hands of
00:00:17
having to have the sex talk of having to
00:00:18
have any conversations about
00:00:20
relationships with their kids and
00:00:22
thinking I did the right thing when in
00:00:24
reality you set your kids up to fail.
00:00:27
You set your kids up to be ashamed of
00:00:29
themselves, to be ashamed of their
00:00:31
bodies, to not know what actual healthy
00:00:33
relationships look like. And the fact
00:00:35
that it's still even happening to this
00:00:38
day. These teachings are things that
00:00:40
continually play out in the homeschool
00:00:43
world and the Christian world like we
00:00:45
are seeing them with young people today.
00:00:49
And we need to push back. We need to we
00:00:51
need to help change the trajectory of
00:00:55
what that is.
