THE Conversation Workshop is a Christian ministry whose mission is to help parents, mentors, and youth workers talk with children about God’s design for the body, relationships, and sexuality.
The ministry is led by two women and friends of Medical Institute: Linda Noble and Linda Stewart. Linda Noble is a Christian educator and curriculum writer serving on staff at Journey Community Church in La Mesa, CA. Linda Stewart is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, adjunct professor of Human Sexuality at Point Loma Nazarene University, and a former high school health educator. Together, they’ve presented at major Christian counseling conferences and been endorsed by Christopher West, President of the Theology of the Body Institute.
THE Conversation Workshop offers live workshops and seminars that parents or organizations can either attend publicly or host privately at their church, school, or community group. They’ve also authored the book Before the Sex Talk: A Theology of the Body Approach for Parents and Mentors, along with newly released Companion Workbooks that provide step-by-step discussion guides for deepening those conversations with children. Additional resources on their website include podcasts, a blog, downloadable conversation guides, and curriculum available for purchase. All of THE Conversation Workshop’s resources are designed to support ongoing engagement long after a workshop ends.
