S2 E18 Sex, Fire, and Other Metaphors to Explain Chastity

Jeremy Rohr Season 2 Episode 18

It’s one thing to tell our kids what not to do. But how do we inspire them to want to live out God’s design for love and sexuality?

In this episode, Jeremy shares vivid analogies and stories—comparing sex to fire, boundaries to fences, and virtue to enjoying dessert in moderation—to help parents communicate the truth about chastity in ways that connect with their children’s hearts.

Jeremy helps parents see that chastity isn’t about repression—it’s about freedom: the freedom to love authentically, to use our desires well, and to find joy in God’s design for love.

You’ll discover:

  • How to talk about chastity as something good, not just “off-limits”
  • Why setting boundaries actually creates more freedom and joy
  • How metaphors like fire and food can help kids grasp sexual integrity
  • The role of reconciliation and mercy when mistakes happen
  • How to help your kids view sex as sacred, not shameful

Whether your children are entering adolescence or already facing cultural pressures, this episode will equip you to lead them with clarity, hope, and confidence.
