Sexuality and The Gospel

In their last episode of this series, the group discuss sexuality, in both a marriage and in singleness.

Show Notes

Katie and Matt are joined once again by Stacie Johnson and Clark Stevens. Matt and Katie both take a few minutes to set up the topic of sexuality before Clark discusses how we as humans are made in God's image, and that He gave us our sexuality as a gift and a way to glorify Himself when sex is kept pure in a marriage.

 

Stacie breaks down what it looked like for her as a single woman to embrace the wholeness of who she was in Christ, and to honor Him with His gift of sexuality.

 

Clark discusses how our culture distorts sexuality and sexualizes objects, making them idols to be worshipped. Matt agrees, and brings up the issue and struggle so many Christians have with pornography, for both men and women.

 

Stacie mentions Fellowship's 2016 Worldview Conference where they talked about sexuality, and encourages listeners to watch some of the videos from this conference.

 

Clark references the fruits of the Spirit, and how those play out in our sexuality as well; we as Christians have to seek to serve others, not receive self gratification.

 

Stacie brings up several Biblical characters - like Boaz and Abigail - to show how their sexuality plays out in their stories. She then moves into giving examples of ways men and women can encourage and raise each other up without using sex.

 

In their final thoughts, Clark emphasizes that no one is beyond the love and grace of God, no matter what they've done.
