The topic of healthy sexuality is almost a foreign topic in the church. When we think about talking to our teens the first things that come to mind is ensuring they understand all the dangers – pregnancy, STI’s, emotional implications but that is where we seem to stop.

We forget to discuss that healthy sexuality reaches far beyond the act of sex. It involves knowing ourselves, what attracts us, what we find pleasurable. It is understanding that intimacy has many facets.

It is learning that how we express ourselves through our clothing and appearance can make us feel a certain way. that the response it generates from other also make us feel different things.

This is a topic that has been laced with shame and that can overshadow what was intended to be an incredible part of each of our lives. Open conversations are fundamental in developing Healthy sexual lives.

As parent’s, we think, not my kid, not yet. I need to protect them as long as I can. I want to keep them innocent, but it is now when those conversations MUST  happen. Our kids are more likely to be responsible and make wise choices if they are included in the conversations.

Truth be told, the conversations are only as awkward as we make them, and even if a conversation is awkward, if it means kids will grow up with a healthy view of sexuality then it is a conversation we will have.

Alright, so we get a chance to combine two things we love.

First is a bunch of yummy, mouth-watering baking that would make even grandma proud

Secondly showing kindness, brightening someone’s day and putting a smile on their face.

We will be having lunch and then putting all of the Switch bakers to work in the kitchen making a number of delicious creations that we will then go and deliver to local police and fire halls and to anyone else who might need a little kindness pick me up.

Just a heads up – we will definitely need to test the finished products to make sure they are as good as we suspect 🙂
