On Sex

from The Pocket Contemplative · host Dave Schmelzer

The recent Atlanta shootings offer many storylines, not least highlighting racism directed towards Asian Americans. But one compelling storyline looks at the often destructive consequences of how conservative churches have taught about sexuality. Dave Schmelzer takes a candid look at this while then exploring the powerfully helpful contemplative reply that comes from major teachers like Francis of Assisi and Therese of Lisieux. Mentioned on this podcast:"Atlanta Suspect’s Fixation on Sex Is Familiar Thorn for Evangelicals" by Ruth Graham in The New York Times, March 20, 2021Matthew 5:3; Matthew 5:27-29; Matthew 5:37; Matthew 7:20; I Corinthians 4;3-4; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Proverbs 12:22Augustine of HippoTherese of LisieuxFrancis of Assisi
