Show Description: I went and saw Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and I have to say, it's a hard time to raise teenage daughters. Why? Because I have come to realize that we really do live in a pornographic culture and nobody seems to notice. Virginity seems to be an antiquated idea that no longer is worth anything in our culture. So join the conversation as we look at sex and raising kids.

Allen's Legal Pad for Like A Virgin?
Got something that bothers me a lot
And it got worse over vacation time off for holidays
As a father of two teenage daughters and as a pastor
How in the world do you teach them and raise them?
Seriously
Rented Knocked Up – big hit comedy
Porn flick – this stuff was rated X 20 years ago
Walk hard – Dewey Cox Story – even more
Full frontal johnson shots – are you kidding me? 4X?
What happened?
Did I miss something?
How raise kids with any sense whatsoever about sexual behavior
I mean Muslim girls in England have surgery to re-virginate so they don't get executed when marry a Muslim man who expects a virgin
Culture our kids are swimming in is pornographic
Sex everywhere
How do you teach them – respect, dignity, purity, holiness
That God has hopes and dreams
That your sexuality is special, intimate
That's what bothers me most – don't want my girls to think they have to behave that way
That they have no value other than as porn fantasy for guys
Want them to understand that they are special and valuable – that their love, their bodies, their virginity is worth something – special part of who they are
Bothers me most that we are selling them out – immersed in toxic, pornographic culture
When sex is walking down the street in full drag all around them all day every day
Watch a TV show – 8” pipe
Is anybody else disgusted? Outraged? Even notice? Just me?
Is virginity a lost cause – an outdated concept?
As a parent – it is really discouraging to face this steamroller of permissiveness that we call a culture and a school system
No one wants to say sex is wrong – just throw some condoms their way
Low expectations – and we marvel at the result

Do you care?

Muslim re-virgination
Tips (3)
1 – lots of coaching and conversation about who they are and sexuality
2 – mentor them through media – can't blockade them from culture – gotta walk alongside and not act shocked – just explain and coach
3 – Develop a strong faith life
First Things – unplug for three days – then plug back in and notice how it is everywhere
