Action4Canada - Action4Canada Youth and Parent Sexuality Program Fall 2023

00:00:00.000 My name is Tanya Gaw. I'm the founder of Action for Canada. And I'm, like I say, excited to be here today for this parent webinar. And Doris is on as well. Doris, if you want to just give your hand a little wave there.

00:00:17.300 Doris Livingston is our parent and homeschool lead. And so generally, many of you are familiar with her who have been coming regular to our parent webinars. So she's a valued part of our team.

00:00:31.120 All right, I'm just going to start for anybody here that's new. We love to know if this is your first time. So mention it in the chat. I'm going to share my screen. And I always love starting with a map of Canada. But all those wonderful little maple leaves there are Action for Canada chapters.

00:00:48.300 And we have chapter leaders who are working really hard in their communities to reach out to other like minded people and help to mobilize them. We reach out to churches, we have parents teams, we reach out to businesses, and as well as mayors and city councils, we attend school board meetings. And as well, we are highly encouraging people pull their children out and homeschool.

00:01:16.500 And so for today. And so for today, again, if you're new, if you go under call to action under weekly emails, there's other places you can go under resources to get our parent materials, and parent webinars that we've had on the past. On, let me just see, you'll see under parent resources, parent webinars, we've had amazing webinars that we've provided with people who specialize in homeschooling, and everything that surrounds that to help to make it an easy transition if you're considering that.

00:01:46.960 If you scroll down the chapter page, which can be found under join A4C chapters, you just click on one of the links on your province, and you will find a list, I guess I should give you an example that a list of chapters in your province. And then as soon as you click an email, you'll email directly to the chapter leader.

00:02:06.340 If you do not see a chapter in your area, please consider becoming a chapter leader, or email a chapter that is closest to you, and they will work to assist you.

00:02:17.620 And so we've got two programs that we're going to be covering today. One is the sexual risk avoidance program for ages 11 to 18 years. And we've made it, we're going to have two different times, there will be ages 11 to 14 from 4 to 515pm PST. And then we've included 14 here 14 to 18, because parents know their children best.

00:02:40.180 And they know if maybe they've been having conversations in their home, and they feel that they're ready to be with the older kids in the discussion. So we leave that up to the parents, but we do give them the choice to do that.

00:02:52.640 Again, we're asking for a suggested donation, but we want to emphasize that we don't want any child or parent missing out on these programs. And so that you can join and we will cover that the other part of the program is Family Foundations addressing key issues related to optimal sexual development.

00:03:12.140 And it's that would be the parent program run other thing I want to show you is our homeschooling under current issues if you're considering getting your kids out and we're asking communities to come together grandparents get in there and help out and make it a team so homeschool if you go here on the directory.

00:03:33.260 And you just scroll down again by province we have vetted wonderful homeschooling associations to help you make it easier and then if you keep scrolling down, we give you additional information and again, I would really encourage encourage you to go to the parent webinars if that is something that you've been considering doing.

00:03:52.260 All right, so I'm going to hand this over to Phil Phil is the founder and director sorry founder and executive director of peace education services, and he and his team will be overseeing the two programs in the fall for parents and for youth.

00:04:08.340 So Phil, I'm like I say I'm going to hand that over to you, you can introduce your team and we look forward to your presentation.

00:04:14.160 Wonderful. Thank you, Tanya. Great. Thank you, Tanya and action for Canada for the opportunity to offer the parent and youth webinars.

00:04:24.220 These are designed to empower youth to protect their futures.

00:04:28.560 At peace, we believe that sex is too important to God to leave at the culture in schools. 0.78

00:04:35.540 So our goal is to equip faith communities. Now that includes parents, that includes grandparents, that includes youth leaders,

00:04:43.160 that includes anyone, right, that has access to youth, to equip faith communities to empower youth with the knowledge and the skills to protect their futures by avoiding non-marital sex.

00:04:57.980 Today, I'd like to do four things. One, introduce the presenters that will be delivering the programs.

00:05:04.900 Two, set the scene. Why are these webinars important?

00:05:07.940 Three, an overview of the youth webinar. And then finally, an overview of the parent webinar.

00:05:15.900 Our presentation team, myself, Phil Lees, as you found out, founder of Peace Education Services.

00:05:22.400 We've been engaged in the community here in Ontario, some communities across Canada, in the United States,

00:05:30.160 and to some degree internationally for the last 28 years.

00:05:33.520 Lori Kuykendall. Lori is married to Chris, mother of four young adults.

00:05:40.400 She lives in Texas. She's the founder and the president of Beacon Health Education Resources.

00:05:46.840 She has a master's degree in public health and has been leading the delivery of healthy sexual risk avoidance messaging to youth and parents in Texas,

00:05:57.440 not just Texas, not just Texas, though, across the United States and internationally for more than 25 years.

00:06:04.760 Then, Pastor Dave Wilweber. He's married to Marie, father of three teens, lives in Hawaii.

00:06:12.120 He's the pastor of Malcolm Mackay Ministries. He's a certified sexual risk avoidance specialist.

00:06:18.360 And Dave and I have worked together for the past 10 years getting healthy risk avoidance messaging to youth in the communities and the churches in Hawaii.

00:06:27.760 Finally, Mirtha. Mirtha is from Toronto. She's married to Eddie for 20 years, mother of three.

00:06:37.140 And Mirtha has been involved with Peace since 2011.

00:06:41.060 She's a certified sexual risk avoidance specialist, an author, and a motivational speaker.

00:06:47.700 Mirtha and Pastor Dave will be delivering the youth webinar.

00:06:51.300 And then myself, Lori, and Pastor Dave will be taking care of the parent webinars.

00:06:58.660 So why are these webinars important?

00:07:01.280 Well, first, let's start with what is the goal of parenting?

00:07:04.640 The goal is to get our kids successfully to adulthood.

00:07:08.860 We have this analogy that we use developed in Hawaii.

00:07:12.500 You know, we're raising our kids on the island of childhood from zero to nine years.

00:07:16.980 But our goal is to get them to the shoreline of adulthood where they can achieve their goals.

00:07:22.420 That could be university, college, a trade, a career, a family, home, and spiritual goals.

00:07:28.980 But we have to get them across the very risky waters of the youth years where teen sex, pornography, drugs, and alcohol can significantly negatively impact life goal achievement.

00:07:41.940 When we talk about the risks of youth sex, everybody thinks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

00:07:48.780 But culture tells youth, hey, use a condom.

00:07:52.760 You can take care of that.

00:07:54.500 Unfortunately, though, we don't tell them the efficacy rate of condoms.

00:08:00.900 We get to that in our presentations.

00:08:03.580 But there are far more risks, social, emotional risks, early failed relationships.

00:08:09.900 If teens start having sex as teens, they're going to have failed relationships.

00:08:16.240 That often sets up a pattern for failed relationships throughout life.

00:08:20.660 Research shows that early sexual activity leads to poor family relationships that often continue throughout life.

00:08:29.500 It leads to reduced academic achievement and reduced earning potential.

00:08:34.920 That sometimes gets people's attention.

00:08:37.260 Most youth who are sexually active say they regret their sexual activity.

00:08:44.300 That leads to increased depression and suicide rates, increased exposure to crime and sexual exploitation, and reduced life goal achievement.

00:08:55.360 Yes, these can be negative lifelong consequences.

00:09:00.180 And the social-emotional risks, a condom doesn't touch.

00:09:03.620 But the research shows that youth who avoid sexual activity have better current, future, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health.

00:09:19.260 They have reduced exposure to crime, domestic violence, and trafficking.

00:09:23.300 So, we want to make sure our kids have the knowledge and the skills to make the best decisions.

00:09:32.460 So, what does culture provide for our kids?

00:09:36.340 Well, they provide comprehensive sex education.

00:09:38.980 Up until about the mid-1990s, we taught the kids an abstinence-based sex ed.

00:09:45.420 It wasn't a great curriculum.

00:09:48.040 You know, we did puberty and conception, etc.

00:09:51.440 It was more of a just say no.

00:09:53.880 We didn't give them the skills, the refusal skills, etc.

00:09:58.120 But in the mid-1990s, we had the HIV-AIDS crisis.

00:10:03.300 What are we going to do?

00:10:04.600 How are we going to teach our kids?

00:10:06.140 Well, guess who comes in?

00:10:07.520 So, Planned Parenthood with a safe sex message. 0.69

00:10:11.500 No problem.

00:10:12.300 We'll give the kids condoms.

00:10:13.600 We'll reduce sexually transmitted infections.

00:10:16.060 And that became the foundation for sex ed curriculum in Canada, the United States, and almost internationally.

00:10:25.520 There we go.

00:10:30.120 So, what are the foundational principles of comprehensive sex ed?

00:10:34.120 Well, first of all, people are sexual from birth. 0.53

00:10:37.500 Youth are sexually active.

00:10:39.440 Everyone has sexual rights to be sexually engaged.

00:10:42.540 All ages, all genders, all activities, as long as they're engaged in consensually. 1.00

00:10:48.540 And the goal of comprehensive sex ed is to equip youth to have satisfying sexual relations and reduced risk.

00:10:56.160 Keep in mind, the primary goal was reducing STIs, pregnancy, and teen sexual activity.

00:11:04.100 When I look at the content, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this, but if you scan through this, and this is content from many different curricula, but in schools and school boards across Canada.

00:11:16.140 Preschool, early masturbation, gender identities, grades 1, 2, and 3.

00:11:20.800 What do you see in there? 0.83

00:11:22.900 Genitalia, gender identity, sexual orientation, introducing the concept of consent in grade 1, 2, and 3.

00:11:29.940 Grade 4, 5, puberty, and that's a good one, right?

00:11:34.420 Sexual orientation, gender, repeat again. 0.97

00:11:37.580 Enjoyment and pleasure through what? 0.89

00:11:39.220 Masturbation, sexual rights of children. 1.00

00:11:43.220 Grade 6, building confidence through masturbation. 0.99

00:11:47.960 Sexual orientation, gender right, consent for sex. 0.96

00:11:50.140 Grade 7 and 8.

00:11:51.700 What are some of the ways I can show affection but, you know, that might not be as risky?

00:11:56.100 Oral.

00:11:56.580 Well, non-reproductive sexual activities, they tell the kids. 1.00

00:11:59.720 Oral, anal, mutual masturbation, cyber sex, pornography. 1.00

00:12:03.120 Gee, those are less risky. 1.00

00:12:05.840 So that's what comprehensive sex ed is based upon.

00:12:11.480 But it's not limited to that short period of time when we teach sex ed.

00:12:16.760 We are integrating sexual orientation and gender identity concepts throughout the curriculum in books like these, which I think you've been exposed to already.

00:12:26.660 So, has, we've been doing CSE since the mid-1990s.

00:12:34.120 Has it reduced STIs?

00:12:37.060 Has it reduced sexual activity?

00:12:39.080 Well, let's look at what's happened to sexually transmitted infections.

00:12:42.320 Chlamydia rates for teens, 15 to 19, have increased 138%.

00:12:48.020 That's not the number, that's the rate.

00:12:52.700 So, I mean, because sometimes people say to me, oh, Phil, come on, the population's bigger.

00:12:56.380 No.

00:12:56.600 This is the rate of infection.

00:12:59.180 So, the number of kids that get infected per 1,000 kids has increased 138%.

00:13:04.360 The 20 to 24-year-olds, young adults, increased 212% when the national average is nowhere near that.

00:13:14.280 Okay?

00:13:14.720 So, has it reduced sexual activity?

00:13:17.100 Absolutely not. 0.64

00:13:18.240 You've got to have sex to transmit these infections. 1.00

00:13:20.980 Canadian Youth, Canadian Pediatric Society did a study on teen sexual activity in 2020.

00:13:28.900 9% of 14-year-olds are engaged in intercourse. 0.50

00:13:32.240 30% of 14-year-olds, oral sex. 0.73

00:13:35.740 When it comes to sexual touch above and below the waist, 61% and 53%. 0.97

00:13:40.960 And this is under the close.

00:13:43.460 As you get older, the amount of sexual activity increases.

00:13:48.380 So, has it reduced teen sexual activity?

00:13:53.360 Well, sometimes people say to me, oh, come on, Phil, my kids go to church.

00:13:58.100 Well, guess what?

00:13:59.620 Teen sexual activity in the church is very, very close to the same rate as no-faith kids. 0.98

00:14:08.080 Does CSE reduce teen pregnancy and STIs?

00:14:13.340 Well, there was a study done in 2020 that reviewed all of the 103 comprehensive sex ed programs that are used to say, hey, look, this works.

00:14:28.040 Well, guess what?

00:14:29.220 Only six of the 103 showed an improvement.

00:14:32.620 17 actually showed negative results.

00:14:35.020 And the conclusion, CSE is ineffective in the U.S. and international classrooms.

00:14:41.680 And this also included some classrooms in Canada that operated with CSE.

00:14:46.900 But the evidence for what's called sexual risk avoidance looks promising.

00:14:52.220 Well, what were the teens saying at this time?

00:14:55.160 And Barna did a huge research study.

00:14:57.680 40% of the teens in comprehensive sex ed classes said they felt sex ed pressured them to have sex.

00:15:03.800 The majority who were sexually active, these are teens that are sexually active, regret their sexual activity.

00:15:11.780 The majority did not know that they could say no.

00:15:15.420 And guess what?

00:15:16.500 These are not church kids.

00:15:19.700 87% wish the parents had been better equipped to guide them.

00:15:23.640 And 75% believe the church should play a greater role.

00:15:28.180 Wow.

00:15:28.960 That's a message we need to embrace.

00:15:31.040 So, comprehensive sex ed since 1997 has proven that it leads to increased STIs, increased teen sexual activity, increased depression, suicide, and other negative consequences.

00:15:43.500 So, in the last 10, 12 years, a new approach has developed, which is an improvement on what we did in the old abstinence approach.

00:15:52.260 It's called sexual risk avoidance.

00:15:54.200 The new curriculum has been tested.

00:15:57.000 The curriculum has been developed.

00:15:59.180 It's been tested and proven to reduce teen sexual activity, reduce pregnancy, reduce STIs.

00:16:06.280 And interest is shifting, particularly in the United States, and school boards are beginning to embrace this approach.

00:16:14.780 Well, let's just a little more detail on sexual risk avoidance.

00:16:18.020 What is the goal?

00:16:19.040 It's to equip youth to protect their future by understanding the negative impact of youth sex.

00:16:25.000 That's not covered in comprehensive sex ed, but this is a primary focus in sexual risk avoidance.

00:16:31.240 And once you understand the risk, and kids say to us, how come school doesn't tell us this?

00:16:35.980 What are we supposed to do?

00:16:36.860 Well, then we develop the skills to establish healthy boundaries, develop refusal skills, understand how to build healthy relationships to eventually find out the person that you might want to spend the rest of your life with without having to have sex, and then avoid sex until marriage.

00:16:58.020 So, we said, the teen said, we wish our parents were better equipped.

00:17:03.660 We wish the church was more involved.

00:17:05.880 So, about 10 years ago, we started programs, developing programs to equip parents and equip the church.

00:17:18.320 We have two programs that we're offering, and these two programs in the webinars coming up, Family Foundations, which is an eight-hour parent program.

00:17:27.720 Actually, it's about nine web module sessions, and equips parenting adults to be – and when I say adults, I don't just mean parents.

00:17:39.580 I mean any parents that have connection to kids, any adults that have connection to kids.

00:17:45.540 So, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, youth pastors, et cetera, to begin the lifelong discussion about sexuality and what is a healthy relationship.

00:17:56.080 And the second program is for youth, grades 6 to 12, heritage keepers.

00:18:02.780 In 2017, I said, wait, we've got to find something that works.

00:18:06.860 So, I did some post-grad work, and we researched the different sex ed curriculum, and we came across this one.

00:18:14.840 This one has been tested by Mathematica in large school studies, and it's been proven to reduce teen sexual activity by 67%.

00:18:23.080 So, they have 2,000 kids in the program, and they have 2,000 kids in a well-matched control group, and they deliver the program to the program youth.

00:18:34.320 Twelve months later, they come back and survey the kids, and they find that the kids that have taken the program are engaged in sexual activity at a rate of 67% less than the kids that took other programs.

00:18:46.140 This is incredible.

00:18:48.140 It's used in churches and schools in the United States.

00:18:50.880 We've been using it here in Canada since 2018, and we've also taken it to Hawaii, where I've been working with Dave since about 2013.

00:19:04.220 Okay?

00:19:04.920 So, I'm going to turn this over now to Dave, and he's going to provide an overview of heritage keepers.

00:19:11.920 So, I'll hit stop, share.

00:19:25.280 Aloha, everyone.

00:19:27.440 Dave from Hawaii.

00:19:30.580 For me, it's morning.

00:19:32.920 It's 7 a.m., so blessings to you guys.

00:19:38.500 All right.

00:19:39.360 I cannot.

00:19:40.080 There we go.

00:19:40.520 Well, so looking forward to sharing with you, parents, you're my heroes.

00:19:48.440 I think it's critical that you are on this call because our framework is that you, as parents, are the primary educators and disciples of your children, not us.

00:20:01.920 We are here just to come alongside you, so you are doing the right thing.

00:20:06.980 Who are these guys?

00:20:07.880 Why are they going to be teaching my kids?

00:20:10.880 So, kudos to you for being on this call because in today's world, you definitely do not want just anybody talking to your kids about sex, sexuality.

00:20:22.200 It's way too risky, and I have to say, Phil does his talk so well, but it always leaves me just kind of sick inside because as an adult, I'm looking at what the kids are getting, and it's like a cesspool.

00:20:38.100 And that's why you, as a parent, and that's why you, as a parent, and that's why you, as a parent, are there to protect, and to teach, and guide, and to provide for your child.

00:20:46.800 So, thanks again for being here.

00:20:49.200 We want the best for our kids.

00:20:50.720 So, some distinctives about heritage keepers that I have kind of learned and discerned.

00:20:59.560 I've taught this over 40 times here in Hawaii with some amazing results.

00:21:05.020 Whether the kids never had engaged in sexual activity, it gave them a greater framework and motivation to continue in that goal of marriage.

00:21:18.640 I've taught kids, lots of kids who have had sex beforehand, and their mindset started to change, and it gave them a new vision and a new why for a deeper understanding of sex and relationships and marriage.

00:21:36.240 So, I love teaching this.

00:21:39.020 So, some distinctives.

00:21:41.920 We can teach this.

00:21:43.500 We're going to teach this in eight hours, but we can teach this up to like 12 hours.

00:21:48.980 I'm convinced I've got about 20 hours of content.

00:21:52.400 So, we're going to be condensing this quite a bit.

00:21:57.280 I love the distinctive that the centerpiece for this curriculum is lifelong marriage.

00:22:05.180 You know that our culture separates sex and marriage.

00:22:10.500 I was sold on this curriculum when it put sex in marriage in the same conversation.

00:22:17.520 You look at the CSE programs, they don't even mention marriage.

00:22:22.940 What a brainwashing.

00:22:24.100 So, when kids see that sex in marriage, when they see that vision and they see the rationale and they see the positive benefits as compared to the negative consequences, it really changes their mindset.

00:22:43.720 Because they're not hearing that message on their phones or from porn or from social media or from Hollywood.

00:22:53.740 So, this curriculum really nails the keeping sex in lifelong marriage.

00:23:01.420 Heritage Keepers was designed for public schools.

00:23:03.900 But we here in Hawaii, we have taught it in Christian settings, secular settings.

00:23:10.720 We've taught it in public schools.

00:23:12.320 We've taught it in Christian schools.

00:23:13.840 We've taught it in churches and non-Christian organizations.

00:23:17.140 We've even taught it under two trees.

00:23:20.820 Yep.

00:23:21.540 So, basically, any place where we can get a group of kids, that's where we're going to teach it.

00:23:28.340 Some other distinctives.

00:23:29.900 Phil already mentions it's research-based, medically accurate.

00:23:35.280 If you have good research and good science and good medically accurate information, it's going to agree with the Bible.

00:23:47.420 And so, what we do is we approach this so that we can teach in secular settings.

00:23:52.580 We approach it from more of the scientific aspect, looking at human anatomy, looking at the reproductive system and so forth, looking at good research.

00:24:01.140 Because if you've got good anatomy, good research, and you have good Bible interpretation, they're going to say the same thing.

00:24:09.320 And so, I always like to say, we like our kids speaking two languages.

00:24:17.920 We want them to be able to speak the language of the Bible, but also the language of science and human anatomy.

00:24:26.520 And you tell me what's more effective.

00:24:28.500 So, your child gets invited to a sex and drug party in college.

00:24:35.540 And do you prefer them to say to their unchristian friends, well, Genesis 2.24 says that a man should leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

00:24:50.560 So, I'm not going to say, what, what, I care about my body, I am not going to go to that party, I care about my future, my job, and my family.

00:25:05.220 Okay, you tell me which one's going to have a greater impact on the one that's inviting them to a party.

00:25:11.780 And you tell me which one our children are going to be confident in saying.

00:25:17.660 And so, if our kids can say that basic stuff, like, man, I care about myself, my body's important, my future's important.

00:25:25.760 But then they also, as you are teaching them the biblical framework also, they're going to have a multidimensional reason for waiting for marriage.

00:25:42.920 And it will impact them, and it will impact their friends, because that's ultimately what we want, is to impact culture.

00:25:49.500 So, it's so easy.

00:25:51.240 So, Mirtha and I are going to be adding scripture to this, because it's biblically aligned, but we're going to start with the medical.

00:26:00.120 19 predictors, I'm on number four there.

00:26:03.380 19 predictors of youth sexual activity, that comes from a study, another study by Stan Weed.

00:26:09.540 Phil already referenced a different study by Stan Weed.

00:26:14.420 Phil, I'm sorry, Stan Weed did a whole lot of research on youth.

00:26:20.520 And he pieced together all the reasons why they're engaging in sexual activity.

00:26:26.500 And he came up with 19 major ones.

00:26:30.980 If these 19 predictors, or if more predictors are happening in the life of the kid, they're more likely to engage in sexual activity.

00:26:42.840 It's kind of no-brainer stuff.

00:26:45.400 Things like, my sibling is already pregnant.

00:26:51.320 Or contraception justifies having sex.

00:26:57.880 Or love justifies having sex.

00:27:00.980 Or sex proves something. 0.98

00:27:03.860 So, maybe there's a kid that's being picked on, or is called queer or gay or something, and they need to prove that they are heterosexual. 0.99

00:27:15.960 Then they will go to sex. 0.87

00:27:18.280 So, there are these 19 predictors that he determined from what kids were saying.

00:27:23.200 And so, Heritage Keepers targets these 19 predictors.

00:27:31.340 So, the lessons are specifically designed to kind of counter those 19 predictors that are out there that lead kids to have sex.

00:27:43.280 And so, online, we're going to be listening to what the kids say on chat, and we're going to look at their mindset, and we're going to try to move them forward toward better thinking, more biblically aligned thinking, and moving them away from these predictors.

00:28:03.040 So, you might be thinking, with all this messaging about sex and marriage, well, what about those kids that have already had sex?

00:28:18.800 I want you to know that our messaging ends up being hopeful, grace-filled, and shame-free, because Heritage Keepers focuses in on today.

00:28:30.480 Not as much the past.

00:28:32.100 I always ask the kids, hey, those of you that have already engaged in sex, did you have this presentation so clearly laid out to you when you were facing the choice of having sex?

00:28:47.100 And they'll say no.

00:28:48.620 And then I'll say, well, stop beating yourself up for that then.

00:28:52.480 Today is a new day.

00:28:54.880 Today you can choose to take hold of the reins of your life.

00:28:59.080 And you can say, I'm important, my future is important, my career is important, my family is important, and I'm going to move forward from today on.

00:29:09.160 So, it's not a beating up of the past.

00:29:11.780 It's a hope and grace and move forward.

00:29:14.700 So, some content.

00:29:16.940 Some of it I've already alluded to, but their definition of sexual abstinence is not participating in any sexual activity outside of marriage.

00:29:32.460 You'll notice that's kind of a hard line, because in terms of when we want the best for our kids, you saw on Phil's slide, all the negative consequences that can happen by participating in sexual activity.

00:29:50.540 Condoms don't protect emotional damage, don't protect the heart, the condom won't necessarily protect the future.

00:29:59.900 So, this definition I really like, because it's not about how close can we hit the line or how far can we go.

00:30:09.500 So, this definition is not even about no as much as yes.

00:30:16.560 This definition gives a yes message saying no outside of marriage, but yes inside of marriage.

00:30:25.420 And that's fantastic, because kids need to hear that God and sex is good, and God made sex good and pleasurable, and there's the best context for it, and the best context is within the safety and the security of two people committed for lifelong loving marriage that is as healthy as absolutely possible.

00:30:49.720 So, it's a hard line, but then we have seven hours to show why this definition is so good, and so then we talk about their life.

00:31:03.780 What's important to you? Who's important to you? How about your future? What's important to you in your future?

00:31:10.880 So, we are going to evaluate the world's message of sex, because it's such a contrast.

00:31:38.240 First, the world's messaging is so loud, it's so in their face, it's so incessant and ongoing, but God's message is really quiet.

00:31:49.860 He whispers it. He whispers it in his word, and he whispers it in the human body, and so we're helping these kids become critical thinkers about what they are hearing.

00:32:01.240 So, we look at the human body, and I would really love to go through my whole presentation right now, but I can tell you that I'm going to give this presentation that God's messaging for sex within lifelong marriage, he actually wrote it into our bodies.

00:32:22.740 I'm going to give this presentation, and I'm going to give this presentation, and I'm going to give you one example of that.

00:32:25.840 What's the only way that we can make a baby?

00:32:30.620 What's the only way that the reproductive system is completed? 1.00

00:32:34.900 What do you need?

00:32:36.240 You need one male and one female. 0.99

00:32:40.460 Okay, that's page one of the Bible.

00:32:43.060 Fantastic.

00:32:47.580 So, the body, the way God designed it, is telling us the best way to have sex, and it's also defining for us what marriage is.

00:32:59.600 And so, it's fantastic as the light bulbs go on with the kids, as they see that God's human body, the way he created it, is the same message as what he says in his word.

00:33:13.480 And if the kids get both, they're going to be that much stronger and that much more able to withstand the assault that's on their lives.

00:33:21.360 So, we definitely teach the reproductive system, we teach conception, we teach genetics, we show what an amazing miracle that they are.

00:33:31.180 I love when the girls come out of this, and their conclusion, and we haven't even hammered this message, their conclusion is, oh, I got to care about my body, because I'm important.

00:33:44.920 And that's what happens when you teach the human body, when you teach the reproductive system, all that fuzziness about all these gender identities and stuff, it becomes male and it becomes female, when you teach the human body.

00:34:00.060 You see, because in the schools, they don't teach the reproductive system, they teach you how not to get pregnant. 0.92

00:34:06.600 That's a major difference.

00:34:08.780 So, when you teach how not to get pregnant, you don't get the life message.

00:34:13.660 But when you teach the reproductive system, it's speaking life, life, life, and the kids feel valuable.

00:34:20.360 So, it's huge, huge, huge.

00:34:24.220 We talk about how sex is like fire. 0.95

00:34:27.140 And you all know this more than I do.

00:34:30.980 When it's cold outside, you'd love to have a fire in the fireplace.

00:34:34.680 But imagine if you didn't have fire in the fireplace, and your whole house is burning down.

00:34:39.540 That's not very good.

00:34:41.220 So, sex is beautiful like that.

00:34:43.660 And the best fireplace for sex is lifelong, loving, healthy marriage.

00:34:51.580 And we make that really abundantly clear.

00:34:54.140 But actually, they make it abundantly clear.

00:34:56.680 Because we talk about, we draw a fireplace.

00:35:00.820 And then we say, what are the benefits of keeping sex in that fireplace?

00:35:05.180 And then if it goes outside of the fireplace, what are some negative ramifications?

00:35:10.660 And the kids come up with that.

00:35:12.080 So, they're generating this list.

00:35:14.580 And they're learning from one another.

00:35:16.280 And it's just fantastic.

00:35:19.160 They get such a great picture for God's best for their life.

00:35:22.960 Including, kids need discernment on infatuation, lust, and love.

00:35:29.500 I don't know if you guys have seen it.

00:35:31.040 I read an article that somebody is putting messaging out to kids that if you haven't had sex by your third date, there's probably something wrong with the relationship.

00:35:42.920 What kind of crazy messaging is that?

00:35:47.220 The kids are in infatuation stage.

00:35:49.760 That is not the time to be engaging in sexual activity.

00:35:52.960 So, it's, the agenda of the devil is evil.

00:35:58.480 And it does not want the best for our kids.

00:36:00.840 So, we help the kids distinguish and define infatuation, lust, and love.

00:36:06.440 So that they can start filtering and discerning what they're getting and what they're feeling.

00:36:14.020 This one's the funnest one.

00:36:16.680 Watching the kids brainstorm the qualities that they want in a spouse.

00:36:21.740 And after listing all these qualities, and it's amazing the qualities that they come up with.

00:36:27.140 We have them put a number rating on it.

00:36:29.800 Like, out of 10.

00:36:30.940 10 being high.

00:36:31.820 And a lot of times the kids will say, okay, that spouse is like a 9 out of 10. 0.56

00:36:36.980 And then we flip it on them and say, okay, if you want a 9 out of 10, what kind of number do you need to be?

00:36:47.080 That's right.

00:36:48.180 9s are going to attract 9s.

00:36:49.980 So, what do you need to be?

00:36:51.740 What do you need to work on right now?

00:36:54.080 Yes, you need to work on your character right now so that you can become that 9, so that you can attract a 9.

00:36:59.660 So, then lastly, like the exclamation point on all of this is the SAFE plan.

00:37:12.860 So, it's an acrostic.

00:37:14.060 SAFE, you see going down, it says S-A-F-E.

00:37:18.980 So, it stands for state your boundaries, avoid danger, firmly say no, and exit.

00:37:25.460 And this is where you parents are critically important because we don't have enough time to help each kid work through thinking about their boundaries and stating their boundaries.

00:37:36.760 But this is very proactive, stating your boundaries and avoiding danger are proactive.

00:37:44.680 I am not going to put myself in a dangerous situation.

00:37:48.260 But, as you all know, danger comes to us.

00:37:52.600 So, in that situation, we're already prepared to state our boundaries and to be able to firmly say no.

00:37:59.540 And then, if that other person is not listening, or if I'm in danger, I need to get out of there.

00:38:06.260 This is exactly what Joseph did in Genesis 37.

00:38:10.360 He followed the SAFE plan before there even was a SAFE plan.

00:38:15.240 So, kind of drawing this to a close before I show you a few student feedbacks.

00:38:21.760 You know this verse, the thief, the devil, comes only to steal, kill, and destroy.

00:38:30.040 You start thinking about what his agenda is for your kids, for your family, for your generations.

00:38:37.880 It's not good.

00:38:39.260 He doesn't want you to have generations.

00:38:41.640 But Jesus came to give life and to have it abundantly.

00:38:45.020 And that's why God's message is so rich and abundant, that marriage is the best place for all sexual activity. 0.71

00:38:54.960 So, here's a few comments from kids.

00:38:58.080 Keep in mind, this is a male.

00:39:01.000 I feel this program gives you a better understanding and depth than you would actually receive from school or elsewhere.

00:39:08.020 For example, pleasure is less important than the target of marriage for sex.

00:39:12.500 It feels more genuine and gives you second thought to what is actually a good thing for your future.

00:39:19.200 Not bad for a male, age 18.

00:39:21.800 Female, 13. 0.94

00:39:23.340 This program helped me realize the importance of sex and made me change my choices to not engage in sexual activity.

00:39:33.200 Female, 17. 0.93

00:39:34.860 They helped me make myself believe I can wait for sex. 0.93

00:39:39.240 I love that.

00:39:40.100 I would recommend this program so others can understand why sex is important and how you can have the real safe sex.

00:39:50.000 Not the fake condom one, but in marriage.

00:39:53.080 That's true safe sex. 0.98

00:39:55.600 And then this is from a mom.

00:39:56.860 We love it when parents come into our teaching.

00:40:00.020 Uncle Dave and Auntie Maile led the young adults to conclude on their own that sex is best done in lifelong loving marriage within the first three hours.

00:40:13.800 I love that.

00:40:14.440 So that means that this parent observed the kids were making an internal decision, that it wasn't our decision they were adopting.

00:40:24.240 They made the decision for themselves.

00:40:26.380 So I'm going to hand this over to Mirtha to see if she wants to add anything.

00:40:33.440 That was awesome.

00:40:36.640 Thank you so much, Dave.

00:40:38.240 So we know this.

00:40:40.080 There is power and beauty in wholesome sexuality.

00:40:44.860 That's just the truth of it.

00:40:46.340 And I'm on a mission to rebuild the nation on the virtue of sexual integrity.

00:40:54.400 And I thank you so much to the parents that are entrusting your children with us for the next eight weeks.

00:41:02.460 And I just want to thank you for it.

00:41:06.440 Over to you, Phil.

00:41:11.500 Well, thanks.

00:41:13.020 There we go.

00:41:14.320 All right.

00:41:14.840 Thank you so much.

00:41:15.800 Are you guys excited?

00:41:17.960 I get wound up listening to Dave.

00:41:21.460 This is fantastic because Dave has done it.

00:41:24.920 And the reason why I've asked Dave, Dave and Mirtha are going to be a great pair.

00:41:30.060 But the reason why I've asked Dave to come from Hawaii to participate is he has delivered this program more, I believe, than anybody else.

00:41:41.680 Not just on our team, but I think anybody else.

00:41:45.960 And he has had such great results.

00:41:50.460 So much so, we get grants from the U.S. government to reach more kids.

00:41:57.920 And our project officer that meets with us on a monthly basis, she is so thrilled.

00:42:06.260 And she continually is working to try and get us more. 1.00

00:42:09.380 So that's the reason why I asked Dave to be part of this.

00:42:13.800 All right.

00:42:14.460 All right.

00:42:15.340 So thank you, Dave.

00:42:16.700 Thank you, Mirtha.

00:42:17.660 Now, I'm just going to go to share screen.

00:42:19.740 Just a second.

00:42:21.260 See if I can get on here.

00:42:23.320 There we go.

00:42:24.880 And pray, pray, play from.

00:42:26.840 Not pray from.

00:42:27.720 Play from.

00:42:28.280 Right.

00:42:28.640 There we go.

00:42:29.340 Okay.

00:42:30.240 So now, this is great.

00:42:33.340 We're going to reach out to the kids.

00:42:34.840 But as Dave said, parents need to come alongside.

00:42:41.040 It's good that the kids are hearing this from Dave, from Mirtha, this messaging.

00:42:46.320 But they also need to hear it from parents.

00:42:49.740 Okay.

00:42:50.120 We kind of, we have this analogy, again, that we use in Hawaii.

00:42:54.360 If we could teach this messaging in the church, and everybody embraces it, so that the pastor, even on a Sunday morning, that he's teaching sexuality to the parents.

00:43:07.580 That the parents take the parents program, the youth take the youth program, then they all get in.

00:43:13.720 Then when the youth is in the canoe trying to paddle across to adulthood, guess who's in there with them?

00:43:20.600 The senior pastor, the youth pastor, the peers that have been taking this, the parents, and they're all paddling, what?

00:43:30.900 In the same direction.

00:43:33.540 Okay.

00:43:33.780 So, that's what our kids need.

00:43:36.260 They need to hear this message from multiple sources.

00:43:40.540 So, it's so important that parents get involved.

00:43:43.460 All right.

00:43:45.020 We've developed a program called Family Foundations.

00:43:47.840 This program is based upon a program previously called Building Family Connections that we used to run.

00:43:55.460 That was developed by the Medical Institute for Sexual Health.

00:43:58.160 It was a great program, but it started to get old.

00:44:01.800 It needed to be updated.

00:44:02.960 So, we asked the Medical Institute, look, we want to take this.

00:44:06.280 Some of it's still good and useful.

00:44:08.140 Can we use it?

00:44:09.320 And can we update it?

00:44:10.820 They gave us full rights to do so.

00:44:13.440 So, and we've been working on this now for a year and a half.

00:44:17.480 This is going to be the first time we present it.

00:44:20.120 So, we're going to be also looking to you and asking for your input because we want to make sure that this is going to be what parents see as important.

00:44:30.520 All right.

00:44:30.980 What's the goal?

00:44:31.680 Again, to equip and encourage parents and youth leaders to guide and support their children toward optimal sexual health, protecting their current and future well-being in a culture that sexualizes our children.

00:44:44.100 What do we mean by optimal sexual health?

00:44:46.080 Well, it's not just physical health.

00:44:48.200 It's not just a comment.

00:44:49.140 No way.

00:44:50.000 Okay.

00:44:50.340 But it is physical health.

00:44:52.360 It is mental and emotional health.

00:44:54.720 It is social and relational health.

00:44:57.100 Yes, these kids are going to be equipped to plan dates, relationships, activities to find out who might it be that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

00:45:10.600 As Dave said, what are those characteristics?

00:45:13.380 And if those are the characteristics that I want in somebody, how do I make myself as good as that?

00:45:22.760 Okay.

00:45:23.160 And finally, optimal spiritual health.

00:45:26.520 The sessions are going to be offered Tuesday nights, and there are nine modules, but we're splitting it up because we're going to offer five in October, but then Action for Canada is offering a marriage program that I think would be wise for people to take.

00:45:46.360 Because, you know, if we can demonstrate a healthy marriage to our kids and model that, I think that's the best thing we can do.

00:45:56.420 All right?

00:45:56.940 So, but in October, the first module, introduction.

00:46:00.940 So, what are the youth health risks, the factors influencing sexual youth behavior?

00:46:06.360 Wait a minute.

00:46:06.920 Stop here.

00:46:09.280 That is going to be the foundation for this whole program.

00:46:14.300 You're going to, there's a survey that you can take.

00:46:19.100 We're going to give you, and it's what are the characteristics of youth who are sexually active?

00:46:23.400 What are the characteristics of youth who are not, or abstinence?

00:46:27.720 And we're talking about characteristics, okay?

00:46:31.060 We're talking about life experiences.

00:46:32.700 We're talking about personality.

00:46:34.460 We're talking about their environment, et cetera.

00:46:37.300 And you can go down there, and you can look at those characteristics of kids who are sexually active and characteristics of kids that are abstinent.

00:46:43.920 And you can check those off and say, oh, okay, oh, I think my child's more on this side.

00:46:49.640 I think my child's more on that.

00:46:50.780 Okay.

00:46:51.080 And you will be able to focus on developing those characteristics that you want in your child.

00:47:00.020 Then second, puberty and adolescent development.

00:47:02.720 Sometimes parents say to us, oh, come on, why are you going to teach us about puberty?

00:47:05.800 Yeah.

00:47:07.140 Puberty is the time when the kids are going through their emotional trauma.

00:47:12.160 Everything's changing in their bodies.

00:47:14.580 And you need to understand the changes that are taking place and how you, as a parent, can take advantage of it.

00:47:21.160 And, you know, instead of saying, why is my kid doing that?

00:47:23.440 You can say, hey, my kid's doing that because.

00:47:26.400 And you have understanding.

00:47:27.300 And you'll have a better sense of how you can respond more effectively.

00:47:33.360 Our body speaks.

00:47:34.720 Dave already mentioned this one.

00:47:36.520 And we've asked Dave to incorporate this because this teaching about why sex is best for marriage, our body speaks approach, I have never heard anywhere else.

00:47:50.580 And you will not have either.

00:47:52.360 But the kids respond to it because, as he says, our body whispers the truth about why it's important to not engage in youth sexual activity and to wait until marriage.

00:48:08.560 So I've asked him to present that so that you can take that presentation, that information, and use that when you're talking to your kids.

00:48:19.720 Technology, social media, sexting, pornography.

00:48:22.320 Dave already talked about how this is actually guiding kids.

00:48:27.460 As a matter of fact, research shows that the majority of kids, when they do have a question about sexuality, and they don't know where to go, so they don't have parents to support, right, the majority of them go to pornography to find their answers.

00:48:44.720 That's not what we want.

00:48:46.640 So, sexting and pornography.

00:48:49.940 And the last one, probably the hot, hot, hot button issue right now, sexual orientation, gender identity, right?

00:48:57.760 And we're going to go through that.

00:49:00.060 We're going to look at what's the history.

00:49:02.200 How did we get here?

00:49:05.020 You're going to have a better understanding of the implications and the risks for your child and some strategies to help guide and develop your child's identity, okay?

00:49:17.360 Then, after, so then you have the marriage seminars and Christmas, and then in January, we come back.

00:49:28.940 And I'm not sure if this is going to be the order we're going to present.

00:49:31.740 We may change it around, but these are the topics.

00:49:34.320 Effective communication and healthy relationships.

00:49:36.760 Okay, how do I talk to my child?

00:49:38.900 What do I say?

00:49:39.800 What don't I say?

00:49:40.720 How do I not do it?

00:49:42.340 Okay?

00:49:43.440 And what are healthy relationships?

00:49:47.360 How do I help my child plan?

00:49:53.220 Dates that do not lead to sexual activity, but help them to identify the characteristics of the person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with in a married, lifelong relationship.

00:50:06.280 Risks of adolescent behavior.

00:50:08.080 So, we'll look at the risks in detail.

00:50:11.880 Okay?

00:50:12.040 Comparing approaches to sex ed.

00:50:14.300 We'll look in detail at comprehensive sex ed.

00:50:17.320 We'll look in detail at sexual risk avoidance so that you have some background because our conclusion, we want you to now become advocates for sexual risk avoidance in your community so that, you know, we can get public schools taking this approach.

00:50:35.820 And we can be a positive impact in our community, all right?

00:50:40.480 So, sex is too important to God to lead the culture in schools.

00:50:46.060 It's our job to empower our youth to protect their futures.

00:50:50.080 All right?

00:50:50.520 And I guess it's now time to turn over questions.

00:50:57.800 And so, Tanya, do you want me to stop sharing screen?

00:51:01.880 Yes, that would be great, Phil.

00:51:03.520 Thank you so much to all three of you for the presentation.

00:51:08.100 We're going to be posting this video on our parent webinar page, but as also we're going to ask once that's done that you share this far and wide.

00:51:19.120 I think it is critical that we change the direction.

00:51:23.960 My uncle always said the squeaky wheel is the one that gets the attention.

00:51:27.200 And for decades, the trans and LGBTQ groups have been lobbying government, and they've been infiltrating the media and television and the news in order to get their message out there.

00:51:41.240 And we are in an amazing shift right now in society.

00:51:45.720 And that shift includes that people are beginning to question the current status quo.

00:51:51.200 And I'm super happy about that, and that's why we're bringing Pastor Dave and Myrtha and Phil on with this program, and that we're not only addressing the youth, but we're educating parents, because they as well have been bombarded with misinformation.

00:52:07.780 And unfortunately, as we've seen throughout COVID, is that people were too afraid to speak up.

00:52:14.720 Like, how are you really feeling about this issue, right?

00:52:17.800 How do you really feel about the direction your kids are headed in being overly sexualized from kindergarten all the way to the time they graduate?

00:52:27.780 Does abstinence start to begin?

00:52:29.440 Is it beginning to sound a little better, right?

00:52:32.080 And what good sexual health looks like?

00:52:35.060 And so I think it's really important that we go in that direction and change the message.

00:52:40.240 And that's the beginnings.

00:52:41.640 This is really awesome.

00:52:42.700 All right, if anybody has any questions, down at the bottom under reactions, not under reactions, yes, you can raise your hand if there are any questions.

00:52:54.880 Sheila, is there any that had come through in the chat as well while we were speaking?

00:53:00.780 There's one here.

00:53:02.160 If our child is physically showing signs of puberty, but mentally younger, is that covered?

00:53:07.780 We briefly address that when we talk about the body speaking and puberty, because we know that the prefrontal cortex isn't even fully developed until 25.

00:53:21.220 So we'll make a quick note of that, that their bodies are telling them that they're ready for sex. 0.99

00:53:28.920 And of course, everybody else is saying that you're ready for sex, but their mind and their heart are not there.

00:53:34.440 So we can mention that, but that's the power of a parent, because the power of the parent can, it's the difference between like a little communion cup and pouring directly into your child compared to us standing on a ladder, trying to aim that on that communion cup from 10 feet away.

00:53:57.420 You catch, you catch my analogy, you catch my analogy, you as parents are an ongoing dialogue, and so you can pour directly into your kid's cup what they need, but we do address it generally.

00:54:08.600 And can I just jump in there for a second, I think that this question would be well taken care of in the parent webinars when we're dealing with puberty, etc.

00:54:23.140 And because, and the parent webinars, the youth ones are jammed full, the one hour session is almost like 55 minutes, so there's not a lot of time for Q&A.

00:54:35.960 But the parent webinars, we set it up so that the instruction time is 35 to 40 minutes max, and then we have at least 20 minutes for Q&A.

00:54:46.360 Okay, so, so we'll have time to discuss those kinds of things. And the lady who's going to be leading us on the parent webinar, Lori Kuykendall, she has, she has a master's in public health, and she's worked with parents and youth for 25 years.

00:55:04.040 So I'm sure you're going to get direction on that concern.

00:55:09.240 Okay, and then there's another question, I'd seen it earlier on, it says, what about the kids that don't have active parents in their lives?

00:55:16.360 All the more reason why they need to take this.

00:55:23.120 Right, and what I was, this is an appeal, because this video is going to go out to a whole lot of people.

00:55:29.140 Right now, I want to make an appeal to pastors and to churches to open your doors, and to host this on Friday nights, to have your youth leaders there and a team that can engage the youth.

00:55:40.480 And you know what, we all know about that child, you know, who their friend brought them to youth group, one Wednesday night, or one Friday night, and how it changed the direction of their lives.

00:55:50.960 And this is why, as well, that Action for Canada is growing these chapters within communities.

00:55:57.800 The last time we had parent or youth webinars, teacher and, sorry, for leadership and training programs, there were actual parents who hosted them in their homes.

00:56:09.040 And they had a group of about 10 children in their homes, and that was, again, the community coming together to invest in their children.

00:56:17.000 So, you know what, we ask parents to consider doing that same thing.

00:56:20.540 Make it a fun night, have some pizza or cake.

00:56:24.220 Don't give them the cake till afterwards, though, that might make them hyper.

00:56:27.360 And, yeah, this is part of community, right?

00:56:30.380 And can I just jump in again, Tanya, this seminar doesn't have to be presented just once.

00:56:39.620 You know, we're available.

00:56:40.660 I just had a church call me, and I met with the board, and I shared what we're sharing today.

00:56:47.380 And they said, wow, we want to offer this not just to our church kids.

00:56:53.360 We want to promote this as a community event.

00:56:57.120 Awesome.

00:56:58.200 That's awesome.

00:56:58.760 And we think we can do that because you take it from a science and medicine perspective, but then you do make connections to scripture.

00:57:09.620 So you're not going to be insulting people if we're coming in just with a scripture message.

00:57:14.540 You're going to be, so that was really exciting.

00:57:17.740 So, yes, we would love to help out churches and community groups that would like to bring this messaging to their communities.

00:57:25.580 Okay, awesome.

00:57:27.240 And on that, yeah, I think you're going to get busy because I know that you had mentioned that you haven't done an online program before.

00:57:34.360 So we're, you know, we're looking really forward to this, and I think that's a broader way to get your message out.

00:57:40.520 Just as a recap, if we're under resources, we mentioned that this webinar will be available on our webpage.

00:57:48.220 So you'd go to parent webinars and click here.

00:57:50.800 But I also want to bring to your attention, there's the Youth Leadership and Speaker Training Programs, Youth Movement.

00:57:56.760 You can look on those pages for the registration and invitation as well.

00:58:00.740 If you're watching this on video on our Rumble channel afterwards, we'll have all of the links in the description.

00:58:07.940 Again, somebody asked about the ages.

00:58:11.700 So the ages 11 to 14 are from 4 p.m. to 5.15 every Friday, October 6th to November 24th.

00:58:19.280 Okay, that's Pacific Standard Time.

00:58:22.100 And then ages 14 to 18 from 5.15 to 6.30.

00:58:26.760 Okay, and then down at the bottom of each page that we created, we sort of transferred their information over.

00:58:35.360 You can contact Phil at the following link, Peace Education Services.

00:58:41.400 And then again, for the parent, family foundations, we provide some information in the breakdown of the times and the dates.

00:58:49.860 And as Phil had mentioned, we're going to have a marriage course and in October, probably mid-October, we'll start promoting that course.

00:59:00.980 But we just want to get everybody signed up.

00:59:03.080 Again, it's just a donation if we know that many Canadians are experiencing difficult times.

00:59:10.100 And so we just want to make sure that you show up and you attend these incredibly important programs.

00:59:16.040 We also give you a little bit of a breakdown here of what Phil went over and so that you can dig in a little bit more.

00:59:22.860 Please share, share, share these webinar invitations.

00:59:27.000 I think they're so important.

00:59:28.760 On this page as well, under Current Issues, there's the Homeschooling Revolution, but there's also Political LGBTQ.

00:59:36.260 You may be a parent that is, your children are actually still in the public school system.

00:59:43.440 And you are hearing about SOGI123 and Comprehensive Sexuality Education.

00:59:48.420 I've done a number of videos going into detail regarding the books.

00:59:52.640 We've actually had to put warning graphic materials.

00:59:55.840 And yet, you know, despite that, the RCMP tell us that these books are not considered pornographic in Canada.

01:00:03.140 I've had multiple meetings with the RCMP over this.

01:00:05.780 And I've been also banned from the Mission BC School Board.

01:00:10.840 And because in January of this year, I was able to show the books in a school board online meeting.

01:00:19.540 And of course, they shut me down.

01:00:21.680 Then a month later, they ban Action for Canada from attending for showing sexually explicit material.

01:00:28.420 No joke.

01:00:29.420 That's what the headlines were in the newspapers.

01:00:33.540 They were just gunning for us, I tell you.

01:00:35.120 Anyways, we've talked about comprehensive sexuality.

01:00:38.340 And this is a fantastic video.

01:00:40.880 I would encourage everybody to watch that. 0.58

01:00:43.860 We were talking about everything is based very much on Alfred Kinsey, who is a pedophile who did sexual experimentations on children and said they're sexual from birth.

01:00:54.520 And the WHO standards for sexuality education, the CSE, known as SOGI 123 in Canada, WINSEC said it's all by a different name, but it's all comprehensive sexuality education. 0.67

01:01:05.520 Their recommendations for zero to four is to teach about the enjoyment and pleasure when touching one's own body, early childhood masturbation.

01:01:14.500 So Action for Canada provides you with notices of liability and other information to, if you go on this page, we provide you information to do even delegations at your local school board trustees.

01:01:29.740 Although it's hard to break through, we are working towards that we've had great wins in Saskatchewan, we've turned over SOGI there and got it taken down as well as Planned Parenthood.

01:01:39.680 So we're excited about the work our team is doing, and this is a next step in now focusing on countering what the world is teaching our children.

01:01:49.800 So just those links again that I've just showed will be in the description area for those who will be watching this afterwards by video.

01:01:59.360 Phil, is there anything else that you would like to add?

01:02:04.660 I think one thing we did not mention, we will be recording the parent webinars, but because the curriculum for the youth is copyrighted, okay, we don't have the permission to record it and make it publicly available.

01:02:24.440 So we cannot record the youth one, all right, just to let people know.

01:02:29.540 So, you know, it is important, if you can, join in, don't depend on the video afterwards.

01:02:39.600 All right, thank you.

01:02:41.180 Yeah, thank you for that reminder, Phil.

01:02:43.500 That's 100% right.

01:02:45.140 So the parent webinar will be posted on parent webinar page, but the youth webinar will not be recorded or shared afterwards.

01:02:54.380 Great reminder.

01:02:55.920 All right, we're good.

01:02:58.100 Well, Pastor Dave and Mirtha, we are looking forward to seeing a lot of you in the coming weeks throughout October, November, and also into January.

01:03:09.700 I would say if there's no more questions, I would say that is a wrap.

01:03:14.580 Oh, one question.

01:03:15.760 I see that, Sheila.

01:03:16.600 Thank you.

01:03:17.120 Can parents join the youth one?

01:03:20.680 Yes.

01:03:21.640 Big thumbs up there from Pastor Dave.

01:03:23.700 I think that that's important, I mean, to give the child their space, but I would want to be involved.

01:03:30.420 I would want to know what my children are teaching.

01:03:33.000 We're not like SOGI123 and comprehensive sexuality education saying, shh, don't tell your parents.

01:03:39.980 We want your parents and with the parents involved, we want you to know what your children are doing.

01:03:44.720 So you can have great conversations with them and answer any questions afterwards.

01:03:50.040 All right.

01:03:50.640 I love your idea of parents, you know, hosting a home home meetings, you know, with their children's friends.

01:03:59.180 Absolutely.

01:03:59.580 Yeah, you know, and these are touches, you're thinking, oh, you know, should I do this with the, you know, the boys and girls?

01:04:06.600 That's a question to me.

01:04:07.900 Should there, should it be mixed with the kids or would it be wiser for maybe one parent, one family to take all the girls and the other family to take the boys? 0.53

01:04:16.520 If possible, I think that would be ideal.

01:04:18.780 I'd say parents know best, your community knows best, so you make the decisions on that.

01:04:26.220 We've taught in same-sex situations, mostly we teach in co-ed, and we always teach with a male and a female teacher because that image is God.

01:04:38.360 If you only have male, you don't get the full image of God.

01:04:42.540 And so the kids, what we've learned after about the fifth time teaching us is we are the message.

01:04:48.780 So as the male interacts with the female teacher, the kids get modeled for them, dignity and respect of the sexes, the biological sexes, and they see relationship in action.

01:05:02.880 So we love it when we have a married couple.

01:05:06.020 That's even better because then they see that's the message.

01:05:10.100 Right.

01:05:11.180 That's a very good point, Pastor.

01:05:13.060 Thank you.

01:05:14.300 Heather has just made a comment in the chat saying that we have to be careful because there was a bill passed that we can't raise our kids that way. 0.90

01:05:20.880 Absolutely not.

01:05:22.200 What that is referring to, in case anybody else has that going through their mind, is the conversion therapy bill, which means that now that they've indoctrinated children and planted all these seeds in their minds that they're born in the wrong body,

01:05:35.900 if that child comes home and says, I'm no longer a girl, I'm a boy, you're not permitted to take them for counseling.

01:05:42.500 And if you as a parent try to convince your child or get to the bottom of that, you could go to jail for five years, as could the counselor.

01:05:50.620 But we're talking about teaching biblical sexuality, healthy sexuality.

01:05:54.900 We're talking about abstinence and we're giving the warnings of comprehensive sexuality education.

01:06:00.720 And we have every right to do that.

01:06:02.160 We will never cease or desist doing it.

01:06:04.700 And there's also a little something called the coronation oath in Canada, which means and King Charles just took the oath in May, stating that Canada must be must be governed by Protestant Christian biblical principles on the gospel.

01:06:18.700 And that means that sodomy and everything they're teaching our children right now is outside of those.

01:06:26.500 Section 52.1 of the Constitution says that it's the supreme rule of law in Canada and anything that's inconsistent with it is of no force or effect.

01:06:35.660 So right now, it doesn't matter what the government has done, even though there's pressure there, we have a duty and an obligation to stand on godly principles.

01:06:43.040 And we won't cease or desist doing that and until all of this is turned around.

01:06:48.540 All right.

01:06:49.540 Thank you, everyone, for joining us.

01:06:52.160 We look forward to seeing you.

01:06:53.660 The parent, I should bring to your awareness, I got to emphasize that it will be at 4 p.m. Pacific Standard Time that the program starts.

01:07:01.920 We've been having the parent webinars at 10 a.m.

01:07:05.080 on Tuesdays, but through the duration of the actual parent program with Phil and his team, it will be at 4 p.m.

01:07:12.080 PST, 7 p.m.

01:07:13.160 EST.

01:07:14.000 All right.

01:07:14.420 Thank you so much.

01:07:15.400 We look forward to the program and seeing you in October next week.

01:07:20.140 Thank you, Tanya.

01:07:21.060 Thank you, team.

01:07:22.320 Okay.

01:07:22.820 Thank you.
