God's Go-Togethers: Talking to Your Kids...

THE GIRL NAMED BLAKE
About this episode

Pastor, apologist, author, and speaker Sam Allbery joins Blake to discuss his new children's book, "God's Go-Togethers," which aims to help parents navigate conversations about marriage and sexuality with their young children. Pastor Sam shares his journey, including his struggle with same-sex attraction and his decision to become a pastor and author. He emphasizes the importance of instilling a positive, biblical framework for marriage in children early on, rather than focusing solely on prohibitions. The conversation also touches on the broader cultural context and challenges Christian parents face today, underscoring the need for grace, repentance, and consistent spiritual dialogue within families.


In this episode, you'll be able to…


  • Learn practical tips for having age-appropriate conversations with children about biblical marriage.
  • Gain insights into addressing difficult questions children may have about same-sex relationships and cultural views on marriage.
  • Hear advice on how to approach these topics without panic, fostering a positive and grace-filled environment for your children.

Sam is the author of God's Go-Togethers – available everywhere now!
