About Course

A new pathway providing a grace-based approach to healthy conversations about sex between you and your children.

Understanding and living out God’s plan for sex is one of the most important things parents can teach their kids. Unfortunately, many parents feel ill-equipped to have these critical conversations. There are several reasons for this, but many are rooted in a misunderstanding of how sex fits into the larger redemptive story of the Bible. 

Beyond the Talk is a nine part video study with a companion podcast, study guides, pdfs, and other resources to help parents frame sex and identity in the context of the full story of the gospel.

Pastors Aaron and Dana Dailey have taught a grace-based, gospel-centered approach to helping parents talk to their kids about sex for over twenty years. Through their work, they have seen parents freed from sexual shame and empowered to help teach their children a fuller, more holistic understanding of sex. Their approach highlights the beauty and good of sex in God’s original design while still taking the harm of sexual corruption and sin seriously.

Session 1 – Reflect on Your Own Story
Parenting well around sexuality starts with examining your own story, wounds, and relationship with God's grace so you can engage your kids from a place of healing rather than shame, fear, or pride.

Session 2 – Prepare to Listen Well
Before diving into conversations about sex, parents need to prepare their hearts to listen well, respond with grace, and maintain a calm presence that mirrors how God parents us.

Session 3 – Start with Creation
Parents should begin conversations about sex with God's good design in creation rather than starting with sin and brokenness, teaching children that their bodies and sexuality are beautiful gifts.

Session 4 – Emphasize the Good
Teaching children to see their bodies as fearfully and wonderfully made by God, using proper terminology and celebrating physical development, creates dignity rather than shame.

Session 5 – Be Honest About Sin (Part 1)
Parents must address how sin has corrupted God's good design for sexuality, responding to children's questions about brokenness with both truth and compassionate grace.

Session 6 – Be Honest About Sin (Part 2)
Parents need frameworks rather than scripts for ongoing conversations about sexual brokenness, addressing specific issues like pornography with truth, boundaries, and unwavering love.

Session 7 – Keep Jesus at the Center
Jesus' incarnation, death, and resurrection demonstrate that God's redemption extends to physical bodies and sexuality, offering restoration rather than just moral management.

Session 8 – Connect in Real Life
Grace-based parenting requires intentional rhythms of connection, modeling healthy relationships, speaking identity-affirming truth, and committing to the long journey with children through struggles.

Session 9 – Hope in God’s Restoration
Parents can endure the long, difficult work of addressing sexuality because their hope rests not in perfect parenting or children's choices, but in God's faithful promise of complete restoration.
