Summary:

In this episode, Michael welcomes back educator and apologist Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss her new book Helping Your Kids Know God’s Good Design. Elizabeth explains why these conversations must start early, around age four, and why parents should shift from “the talk” to ongoing, age-appropriate discussions. She highlights the biblical foundation for God’s design for marriage, sexuality, and the purpose of sex. She also stresses the importance of teaching children God’s good design before the world presents distorted messages.

Together, Michael and Elizabeth discuss how to address body parts, privacy, shame, and pornography with clarity and calm confidence. Elizabeth also shares the challenge of being a single woman writing a parenting book and how God has prepared her for this work.

This compassionate and practical conversation equips Christian parents and grandparents to guide children with truth, grace, and biblical clarity. It encourages families to keep open communication at the center of discipleship and daily life.

Takeaways:

• Parents should shift from “the talk” to ongoing, age-appropriate conversations about sexuality.
• Children need a biblical foundation for sexuality before they encounter the world’s distortions.
• Starting conversations around age four helps parents become the trusted “first voice.”
• Honest, calm discussions about body parts and privacy protect children as they grow.
• Topics like pornography must be addressed with Scripture and openness.
• God designed sex with purpose—intimacy, procreation, and pointing to Christ and the church.

ABOUT ELIZABETH URBANOWICZ

Elizabeth Urbanowicz is a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview.

She holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish. She also has an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school.

Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students.

Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students’ media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students’ thinking in junior high and beyond.

Elizabeth now works full-time on developing comparative worldview and apologetics resources for children. Her goal is to prepare the next generation to be lifelong critical thinkers and, most importantly, lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
