If you're a parent, it's more important than ever to not only be aware of what your child is exposed to online but to guide them in making great decisions about their sexual purity.

As the father of five children (my oldest is 12), I feel pretty confident in all of the "do-nots" that come with pornography, social media, and movies. But until I met Zach and Angela Miller, I didn't fully understand how unprepared I was to advise my children in what to do as they grow up... and what is at stake.

Zach and Angela's ministry, Purity Parenting, was born out of a desire to support and coach parents amid a scattered and sometimes confusing landscape of content for parents who want to keep their children sexually pure.

In today's episode we'll talk about why this is such a big deal, how you can start talking about these issues with your child no matter how young -- or old! -- they are, and which resources can protect your home and empower the next generation.

079 - What is the most important identity you can have? Is it what you do for work? Is it your role within your family? What about the legacy you'll leave behind?

078 - What's the biggest career decision you've had to make? Was it going for a promotion that would put you in a leadership role? Maybe it was moving across the country to work for a startup? How about leaving the world of employment altogether and striking out on your own?

077 - Who are the people who have made the biggest impact on your life? The ones who were available to give you advice when you had a difficult decision to make or who you could reach out to when you weren't sure how to handle a situation.

067 - If you're like most parents, it's hard to tell whether you're winning or losing. One moment it seems you have everything figured out, and the next you're picking up the pieces from a meltdown you never saw coming. Maybe that's just me.

066 - If you've been married for more than a month or two, you've likely discovered a few ways to mess things up in your marriage. Maybe by a thoughtless comment, an assumption of what your wife was supposed to do in a particular situation, or just not knowing how to respond when conflict arises.

065 - What do your routines produce in your life? Are you in a continual state of improvement and achievement, or are you stuck in a rut?

048 - What if all of the problems you're experiencing weren't because of someone else, but because of something rooted deep in your mind? Would you have the courage to pluck it out, or would you just keep living the life you've gotten used to?

022 - What if the one thing holding you back from all that you want in life is the hardest thing of all?

021 - People talk a lot about finding their purpose or living a life that's meaningful, but very few actually do it. Why is that? Because they don't really understand what's really going on, that they were made by God for a purpose.

019 - Congratulations! You've reached the summit! Now what?
