Don't Be Dum - Episode 3: Let's Talk About Sex

You would be hard pressed to find a topic that has been more abused or carries more pain then the topic of sexual health in our culture. Before we even begin to discuss specific issues we must confront painful past experiences, lies we believe about ourselves, or address previous messages of shame we have heard. But one thing we cannot do is remain silent on something this important.Does the bible have anything helpful or redemptive to say about our sex lives other than, "Don't have sex till you're married?" What if you've already had sex? What if you have been abused? What if you're single and long for sexual expression, but feel alone? Does God have anything to say to you? Yes. Yes He does. This episode has been split in half. The first half addresses common lies or misconceptions around sex and intimacy. We must begin here to reclaim this discussion and start on the same page. The second half of this episode has been dedicated to analyzing Proverbs 5. This proverb specifically addresses some of God's principles for developing a healthy sex life and sexual identity. We pray this blesses you. We pray it helps you heal. We pray it protects your heart and your mind. And we pray chiefly that it draws you closer to God the creator of our bodies and the designer of real intimacy.
