Let’s change the conversation about sex for the next generation.

When it comes to talking with your kids about sex, it’s easy to feel stuck. The world around us is hyper-sexualized and confusing—and the shame-heavy messages of purity culture aren’t the answer either. You know what you don’t want to say. But what do you actually want to teach?

If you want to raise kids who love God, love their bodies, and understand sex as good, pastor and mom Dr. Kelly Edmiston has good news: you can. Shame-Free Sex Talks doesn’t shy away from hard topics, while being grounded in Scripture and full of real-life insight and giving you the tools to talk about sex with calm, clarity, and confidence—from toddlerhood through the teenage years.

This book won’t provide parents with a set of quick and easy answers for their kids, and it’s not a prescriptive, one-size-fits-all list of “dos” and “don’ts.” Rather, Shame-Free Sex Talks encourages a parenting approach that provides space for the sexual questions and behaviors kids are grappling with to serve a developmental, discipleship purpose and help facilitate a Jesus-centered conversation.

In this thoughtful guide, you’ll find:

• A threefold vision for biblical sexuality—Covenant, Community, and Consent—to help you speak clearly and faithfully about sex and God’s design.

• Five core values of spiritual sexuality to anchor your child’s identity in God—not the shifting messages of culture.

• 25 age-based practices (for ages 2–5, 6–10, 11–14, and 15–18) to build habits, conversations, and confidence over time.

• A timely appendix on parenting LGBTQIA+ kids.

You don’t have to choose between biblical truth and emotional health. You can raise kids with a faith that integrates their whole selves—bodies, questions, and all.
