The Conversations Parents Avoid with Laurie Krieg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, hosts Karen Potter and Rob are joined by Laurie Krieg, Director of Parent Programs and Discipleship at the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. Laurie shares from over a decade of ministry experience engaging conversations around human sexuality, parenting, and the gospel — all while raising three children of her own.
Laurie opens up about her personal story, including wrestling with same-sex attraction and childhood sexual abuse, and explains how the gospel anchors her approach to parenting in today’s complicated cultural landscape. Rather than leading with panic or fear, she encourages parents to begin with God’s good design and build conversations from a place of confidence in Christ.
Together, they explore how families can move beyond a theology of “no” toward a theology of “yes” — focusing on purpose, mission, and the beauty of God’s created intent. This conversation offers practical language, real-life parenting examples, and hope for moms and dads who feel overwhelmed by cultural messages surrounding marriage, identity, and technology.
