Passport 2 Purity Download

[Margarita Lovvorn]

Wehave hit a new milestone though. My baby is a tween. She is 11 years old and in the 6th grade. I see her maturing and growing, and I am encouraged. She is turning into a beautiful young lady, and I cannot wait to see how the Lord continues to grow her.

Passport 2 Purity is a Christian CD series put out by Family Life. The talks on the CDs introduce the concepts of peer pressure, puberty, sex and how that relates to our relationship with God and each other.

The parent guide gives you all the information needed to put together object lessons that go along with the teaching. It also provides discussion questions. You can buy a pre-assembled activity kit as well (more about that later).

How long is the Passport 2 Purity CD series? If you were to do the entire five sessions, including the optional part of session 4, it will take 4 1/2 hours or more. There is a slight time variation between boys and girls.

As you are preparing for time, do not forget there are object lessons, discussion times and provision for kids to take notes, answer questions or write in their Passport 2 Purity journal. This definitely adds more time into your P2P experience.

The whole point of the first session is that in life you need a map (the Bible), a compass (Jesus) and a guide (your parents) to help you along the paths of life. These three components can help direct kids in positive ways and avoid the pitfalls that are set to trap us during the adolescent years.

The second part of session 3 talks about sex. The mechanics of it are explained and discussed. I do think a drawing of the reproductive organs would have been helpful, but you can always looks for those online too.

Not only were the mechanics of it discussed, but also some of the deeper issues regarding sexuality. Why was sex created? It was created for reproduction, pleasure and to bring us closer to our spouse. How was sex intended? Sex is intended for enjoyment within marriage. It is a gift.

I openly talked with my child about this, and the P2P program allows room for looking at the different stages from hand holding to sex. We discussed the different temptations at the different stages.

I do think the weekend and the program really open doors to communication that need to continue throughout the growing-up years. When my daughter starts to have the deeper sexual feelings and temptations, that seems a more feasible time to try and take a stance.

This topic of sex and purity can be so important and so scary in our parental minds (oh trust me I can relate) that we can treat it as the end all be all. The end all be all is really recognizing we sin and are in need of a Savior. This Savior is Jesus Christ, and his grace abounds.

All that said, while I liked the variety, there some cheesy elements to the presentations. The sound effects, goofy voices, and just OK music might appeal to some, but my daughter and I just looked at each other and made a weird face about the corny parts. I suppose that lightened the load a bit.

Note: The activity guide will tell you how to set this up. I set it up a bit different. I put a candy bar prize in the middle for whoever accomplished the most pieces. However, I also made a prize for her if she was able to stay cool and calm and not freak out about how unfair things were. This prize was the game Exploding Kittens, which we ended up playing throughout the weekend. I bought this game because her puzzle was an Exploding Kittens Puzzle.

I would highly recommend preparing your child ahead of time rather than trapping him or her after the weekend begins. There was conversation ahead of time saying that we were going to be having a fun weekend together, but we were also going to be talking about becoming a woman and sex (she already knew that term).

The first activity had puzzles. I LOVED having these available. I was super thankful our hotel room had a large table where we could do the puzzles. This kept our hands busy while we were listening. Having something like a puzzle or coloring book to do helps maintain focus toward the end of the disc series is extremely helpful.

I also loved having the content on my phone. Disc number 8 provides an MP3 version. We put this in my Dropbox. It allowed us to easily listen in the car or hotel room. This also allowed for either of us to pause the audio to ask a question, provide clarification or insert our own thoughts or experiences.

Next, we would travel through the gum wall up to the Pike Place Market. We did the market together, making sure to hit the magic store (something I loved doing as a kid) and the sweet shop to buy something for dad.

The Lion King was a surprise event for the weekend, and it did not disappoint. She was so incredibly excited. As she has been sharing about the weekend with others, this is the first thing she mentions.

We had purchased her a necklace with her middle name, Faith, on it. That has double significance. We decided against a purity ring at this time, but we wanted a special memento to stay with her as a reminder about our time together.

She was able to tell her dad about the weekend, and I was happy that she was willing to communicate some of what the Passport 2 Purity content was about. The object lessons were great starting points to discussing main concepts with him.

In a world that is dying to tell your children about sexuality, it is great to have a program that directs them back to Jesus as well as points them to their parents, who have wisdom and experience in this area.

Thank you for your sharing. My husband and I are going to do this program soon. I found it helpful. I really like your photos and links. Your schedule and activities were fun filled. We also reviewed your photos while we shopped at Walmart, checking out things for the projects. It was a great analysis.

So glad you found my review and thought it was helpful. Interesting thought about doing it with another family. I had never considered that. I think it could be OK, depending on the dynamics. I think I would recommend having your own rooms to discuss things not as a group and then just coming together for more the light hearted fun stuff. ? Have a great time with your daughter.

Any recommendations for families who are not able to travel? There are plenty of folks limited by physical issues, covid, and/or financial restraints. How could I do the weekend if we need to stay over at our home but could do some local area outings? Thanks.

Thank you so much for your review, I am planning on doing this program with my son next month and was looking for an unbiased review. Loved the details that you provided and things that you modified to fit your family.

I heard about this option a few years ago at a homeschool convention and I will be forever grateful that I did. There are so many things covered in this particular kit that I never would have thought to discuss with my girls, and I really love the point of view the teachers have. We could have had a fun bonding trip anytime, but this was different.

When I was in High School, True Love Waits had just started becoming a thing. I think our youth group went through that program just after I graduated, which would be right around the time I was pregnant with my daughter.

If you have younger kids, The Princess and the Kiss and the Squire and the Scroll are fabulous, age appropriate books to read. We started talking about saving our kisses for our husbands when my youngest was 6!

When I took the retreat the second time, using version 3, I had decided not to cover the additional topics, but after praying and listening to the CD, I decided to listen to a portion of the optional session with Soleil and I paraphrased the rest on my own. You know what your children are ready for and what they may or may not need to hear about. That being said, be open to what the Holy Spirit may be leading you to do.

A wonderful book I can suggest is The Bride Wore White, Seven Secrets to Sexual Purity by Dannah Gresh. She too was sexually active before marriage and shares her story of how she changed her standards and met a godly man.

Thank you for the insightful post. I have four girls, and this subject has been on my mind and heart lately. Why did you pick the age of 12? How do you know she is ready for this? Has anyone else done a different age?

During the discussions, they repeatedly refer to 12 year olds. Also, some of it was supposed to be heard before girls start going through body changes. I think every girl is different, and you know your own kids best. Maybe when they start showing physical signs of getting ready to start their cycle, or if they seem to be asking lots of questions!

Hello!! I have a question. I am a student leader at my school and I am planning a purity retreat for males and females. We are highschool students so this program is too young for our age group. Do you have any ideas?
