Yeah, I mean, you look at research, average age of exposure three years ago was 11. It's trending towards eight years old now. Eight? Eight years old. And what's interesting, so 84% of first-time exposure to pornography for kids is secondhand exposure, meaning that they weren't looking for it. They were either on an unprotected device, and it was looking for them,
Because this is the world that we live in. Because of streaming and things like that, everything has porn on it to the extent, depending on what your definition of porn would be. And then just being at school or someone else's home And then it was shown to them. But it's crazy, man.
Not to come out swinging, but I would say probably the most dramatic thing I would share with you is that, so a really good friend of mine, she once was a critical care nurse in Kansas City, Missouri. About six months ago, she started a nonprofit and she's just speaking on this full time. But she started seeing a reoccurring theme
And it was that, so she was an examiner for sexual abuse cases of children. And she was noticing over and over again that two things were happening, that the abuser of the child was between 10 to 14 years old, and it was a sibling. And she was like, and it was a lot of cases like that in Kansas City. And she was like, is there just something weird going on here?
And she started asking her peers in different places. Her name's Heidi Olson. I know where you're going with this. Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah. Well, I mean, just the reality that... So in around 60% of the sexual assault cases that happen to children in the United States, the perpetrator is A, between 10 to 14 years old, and B, it's a sibling. So that's... It's in the 60% in the U.S. It's higher in Europe, highest in Australia, around 73%. And then...
fastest growing niche of pornography is incestual, the step-bro, step-sister stuff. And the reality is, 100% of the cases, the kids are addicted to porn. They're watching porn, they're developing fantasies, and then they're superimposing these fictitious desires, they're imposing them on their sibling.
They're tying up their brother and sister and raping them because they've developed an appetite for something that they don't know what to do with, and the porn doesn't, again, Like we were talking earlier, this belief that you can consume something and it not have a real impact on your output. Like in what world does that make sense?
You can't like whatever you ingest, once it metabolizes, there has to be somewhere for it to go. Wow. So to the person thinking, you know, porn's harmless. Who can it hurt? Kids. There you go. At a significant rate.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you know this as someone who was in the military and anyone that's been around athletics. I have to have good self-awareness before I can have discipline. So for us as parents, we can't believe that. We can just protect our kids from the world. The Bible tells us that bad things will happen. The world is not a safe place. You can't protect your kids from everything.
So I would say the way that you protect them is you inform them. So talk about sex in an age-appropriate way that is real and that is helpful. There's a book called A Good Book... I think it's Good Book, Bad Pictures. And so I think it's been around for about 20 years. But there's a theme in it that's helpful for even adults. There are bad pictures in the world that you probably will see.
But if you see those pictures, that doesn't make you bad. So if you see them, if you're hungry, run to mom and dad. Scared, run to mom and dad. See something you shouldn't see, come tell mom and dad so that we can process it with you. Because if you don't create a space to have that conversation, what you don't talk about says something.
So I would say that's the biggest problem with porn, sex in the church, where it's not talked about in the way that gives people a comfortability of talking about it. Because anytime that you would say porn or sex and you cringe, you probably have an unhealthy relationship with it. You know, so say, hey, you know, sex is this beautiful thing.
This is how you got here, you know, to your son, to your daughter. And, you know, explain it in a way that makes sense. And then also we need to protect ourself from the world. The world is a dangerous place trying to come at us. So Bark is a really great piece of technology where, you know,
you know bark.org is the website and you get to control everything that your children has access to if they're going to use any kind of smart technology and what i love about it is you get a report of everything that they see and everything that they're sent so if if you're allowing them to use text messages emails things like that you will get a notification if someone's
You know, there's bullying, there's any kind of conversation around self-harm, either by them or someone else, anything pornographic, any keywords. And then you can have a healthy conversation where instead of being accusatory of, hey, I know that I saw this, you know, you know that I saw this, so, you know, you know, fess up.
You can say, hey, is there anything that, you know, was said to you or you saw today that you want to talk about with me? So I would say that's how we have to navigate that conversation, because what we don't say is not helpful, but it also says something. Because Romans 12, 2, either you're being conformed by the world or you're being transformed by the renewing of your mind.
So the world is going to teach you, but the prince of the air, the devil, wants to teach you something that's drastically different than what God wants to teach you. Yeah.
