“God created human beings to be sexual, therefore, sexuality is good under God’s design,” and “rightly-ordered sexuality brings God glory.” So, how do we know when sexuality is rightly ordered or disordered? How can sin distort our sexual desires? What was God’s original design for human sexuality? Why is the Christian sexual ethic the only way for personal and cultural flourishing?
Today’s show will take a look at sexuality as we walk through chapter 3 of Andrew and Christian Walker’s new book, What Do I Say When…?: A Parents’ Guide to Navigating Cultural Chaos for Children & Teens. I’ve done a few shows on this topic (see below), so I aim to keep the teaching short and get to your calls and questions as soon as possible. Join me for an important conversation!
