Today’s episode exposes an issue far deeper than most parents realize: what’s actually inside our public and school libraries. The journey began when I opened a copy of Gender Queer in a small-town bookstore and saw a graphic sexual illustration—sitting in plain view for any child to pick up. That moment sent me down a trail that led from local libraries all the way up to the American Library Association.

To help us understand the full picture, I interview Bonnie Wallace from Llano County, Texas. Bonnie discovered explicit books containing graphic scenes, sexual content, and online grooming pathways—in the children’s section of her library. When she raised concerns, she and her county were sued for simply moving the books to the adult side.

Her legal battle went from the local level, to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court—resulting in a landmark decision affirming the right of libraries to protect kids from inappropriate material.

In this conversation, we break down:

-How radical ideology has infiltrated the American Library Association and state library associations

-Why explicit materials are being pushed toward minors

-Why some books are too explicit for prisoners, yet accessible to children

-How pornography and graphic content shape a child’s mind

-What Christian librarians and Christian parents must do

-Practical steps for protecting your kids at home, school, and in your county

-Why Christians must run for school boards, library boards, and local office

-And why “book banning” is a false narrative—this is about book boundaries, not censorship

Parents: your vigilance matters. Shepherd your kids’ hearts. Guard what they see. Engage in your local community.

If one woman can take on the library industry and win, imagine what thousands of Christians standing up for righteousness could do.

#Sexuality #Libraries #Scandal

Welcome to 2026.

In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares the vision for the year ahead—what topics we’ll be covering, why they matter, and how we plan to approach them with biblical clarity, gospel hope, and compassion.

As culture grows increasingly divided, many Christians feel overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to issues surrounding sexuality, gender ideology, schools, libraries, and public policy—especially when kids are involved. This year, Calibrate Conversations will intentionally engage those cultural intersections without losing sight of the Gospel.

You’ll hear about:

* Why we’re addressing cultural and policy issues

* What’s happening in libraries and schools—and why parents need to be informed

* Gender ideology, so-called “gender-affirming care,” and protecting children

* Biblical gender roles and why they matter for sexuality

* Testimonies of redemption, restoration, and hope

* How Christians can stand firm in truth while extending grace

Our goal is simple: to equip the body of Christ to be faithful, courageous, and compassionate in a confusing cultural moment—and to remind you that God is still redeeming and restoring lives.

Many Christian parents want to protect their kids from sexual confusion, pornography, and cultural pressure—but waiting too long to talk about sexuality may be doing more harm than good.

In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss how parents can teach kids God’s good design for sexuality early, biblically, and without fear or shame.

They explore:

Why kids are encountering sexual ideas far earlier than most parents realize

How to prepare children for pornography and cultural messages before exposure happens

Why “the talk” should be replaced with ongoing discipleship conversations

How to teach kids biblical sexuality while leading with truth, grace, and the gospel

Practical, age-appropriate tools parents can use starting as young as four years old

If you’re a parent, pastor, homeschooler, or Christian educator navigating today’s culture, this conversation will equip you to shepherd your children with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
