The following is an extract from the syllabus:

How can we safeguard our families in a culture that constantly streams immorality to us throughmovies, music, and immodest dress? How can we teach modesty and purity to our children?How can we overcome the pull of pornography and immorality ourselves? How can we becomemen of moral courage who win the respect of our families and have an impact upon a corruptworld? How can we understand and minister to the homosexual and to the sexually addicted?These are questions for us to consider in these sessions together.

Though this seminar is not rated PG-13, it is strongly recommended that a father give some“parental guidance” in these areas as is appropriate for his son’s maturity level beginning in hisearly teen years. These principles should equip father and son to have some serious discussions regarding purity and godliness.
