The Bible and Sexual Health for Children Ages 4-10

This doctoral project examines the sexual health narratives of the Bible for parents, clergy, and counselors of children age 4-10.  With this project will be a parallel video series for children.

The objectives are:

to provide sex positive sexual health guiding principles for caregivers, clergy, and counselors of children ages 4-10 based on Biblical narratives, neuroscience, and clinical sexology.

to provide sex positive sexual health videos for children ages 4-10

Guiding Principles:

This doctoral project will not judge morality, the approach will be to examine sexual health narratives for guiding principles.  

The project will encourage parents and sexual health educators  to blend guiding principles with their own family mores. 

The project will focus on  sexual health as attachment through intimate relationships with their higher power, family and self.

This project will use Scripture to interpret Scripture in the tradition of evidence based Biblical Theology.

The project will examine Intimacy as theological hermeneutic:

The project will assess the sexual health narratives in terms of seeing our higher power, and being seen, “Seeing my partner, and my partner sees into me”, intimacy.  The current state of Evangelicalism is one of a loss of intimacy and PFC disablement.  Gray matter deficit of attachment disorder will be examined in terms of processing relationships. We will  assist caregivers to teach children to down regulate and connect to God in compassion in awareness.  The project will teach regulation of sexual neuro pathways through compassion, awareness, and balance.  

The prophets indicted the people of Israel for their loss of intimacy, lack of knowledge of God.   Hosea will treat the sex addiction of his partner with compassion and awareness. 

Intimacy disorder will be examined and recovering addiction by lowering shame, and connecting to intimate relationships.
