"As licensed mental health therapists and parents, we've seen firsthand how essential it is to engage our children in honest and hopeful conversations about bodies, desires, and identity—conversations many of us would rather avoid due to our own unresolved stories and the complex cultural narratives we navigate. Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World offers a lifeline for those of us seeking thoughtful ways to begin. With practical tools and gospel-centered insight, Laurie and Matt Krieg show how to transform moments of uncertainty into sacred opportunities for growth—both for parents and children. Their wise guidance equips you with the language you need to approach these conversations with clarity, courage, and grace."

"With wisdom, humility, gentleness, and the proper confidence of those who knows their subject and the fraught landscape it can sometimes bring, Laurie and Matt Krieg have, with Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World, offered their readers a book that we ought not simply read. Rather, we would do well to meditate upon it, carefully and with the same humility with which it has been penned. For all of us who long for our offspring to joyfully follow Jesus, this is a book that is no mere manual about children and sexuality; it is an invitation to partnering with God as he forms them into the image of the King."

-Curt Thompson, psychiatrist and author of The Soul of Desire and The Deepest Place

"Laurie and Matt Krieg offer a rich, biblical framework for parents navigating the complicated terrain of talking about sexuality with children. The Kriegs provide a breadth of wisdom from their own parenting journey and incorporate key insights from psychology, all the while helping parents feel more effective and less alone. There is no shortage of parenting books available today, but Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World is one that sifts through the noise and offers concrete, practical guidance and modeling of critical conversations around human sexuality."

-Julia Sadusky, licensed clinical psychologist and author of Start Talking to Your Kids about Sex: A Practical Guide for Catholics

"This book is a gift to all parents trying to navigate the complexity of raising children in today's world. In Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World, Laurie and Matt Krieg have shared invaluable wisdom, insight, and understanding that is crucial in these times. I wish I could make this book required reading for every parent."

-Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women

"I'd love for every Christian parent to read this book. It covers not only what to say but also how to understand and communicate the important whys of God's plan for sexuality. This is a rich read, providing a powerful combination of personal experience, theological depth, and practical application."

-Juli Slattery, president and cofounder of Authentic Intimacy and author of Rethinking Sexuality

"In a shaky world, Laurie and Matt Krieg offer parents an unshakable foundation. In Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World, the gospel is not just mentioned, it is unveiled as our real and practical hope. Like Jesus taught in Matthew 7, the Kriegs remind us that storms will come to every house, yet when we are grounded in God's truth, we remain unshaken. They lay a solid foundation and then walk us through how to live on it, equipping us to be parents who are full of faith, antifragile, firm in truth, and free from fear. We do not have to be intimidated or stressed about the future for our children. Grounded in God's truth, we stand unshaken and can raise kids who do the same."
