Our PurposeWe are here to draw people closer to God. In our opinion, today's biggest roadblock on this path is pornography. We want to create a culture of authentic, self-aware, and driven individuals by ripping out the addiction, shadow, and shame pornography can create.

Our Mission"The Parenting Dare" is many things. It is our ministry. It is our blog name. It is our flagship course. What do we do? We build into your experience with our own, ultimately equipping your children to choose porn-resistant, happy, satisfying, mission-driven, on-fire lives.

Porn is dangerous. It thrives when ignored and it feeds on shame. When you shine a light on the topic, exposing and talking about porn, it loses its power. Our goal is to start a movement of like-minded parents, ready and willing to do what it takes to raise porn-resistant children. With some proactive parenting, the next generation will be the change our world needs!
Addiction affects all families

As a parent, there are many things you can and should do to protect your child from pornography. Take our free "Not in My House Challenge," where Eric will guide you on how to clean up the tech part of your home.
But it takes more than filtering. Why? The pornography industry is hungry for users and is seeking your child. Children are being exposed to porn earlier and earlier in life whether at school, on television, or just walking down the street!
When your child is exposed to pornography, they CAN easily and effortlessly turn to you for guidance. Building a home environment where authenticity and trust can flourish is totally possible....no matter how you were raised.

Don't just take it from us!
After 26 years of parenting, I still did not have a good approach to sex education and pornography. I went from total avoidance to lecturing about the risks and telling them not to do it and finally thinking the use of an internet filter was the easy answer. The Parenting Dare has taught me why this is not enough! Through The Parenting Dare my kids and I now talk about these sensitive issues together and it has made us closer! They come to me for answers and reassurance. It was the piece I was missing all along. - Janice Swanson (Lincoln, NE)

I am the parent of a 13 year old boy and in our house we believe in education. So when it came to educating our son about sexual education and sexual intimacy we started teaching early with tons of information. I did my research, my husband and I felt as though we really were doing our jobs as parents. Unfortunately I didn't think about the internet, cell phones, and social media. That is when The Parenting Dare came into play. This offered us some great tools and resources to help educate our son about the inappropriate sexual content on the internet. It is a tricky road educating children in today's society but The Parenting Dare is a great resource to help guide parents along the way. - Melissa Spottedhorse (Wichita, KS)
