It’s easy for us to pick up the wrong messaging about sex. That’s why we need Scripture to fix our mistaken thinking about sex and wash our defiled views. Building on episode 177, Helen and Mike bring our sexual detox series to a close, tackling commonplace distortions in the culture (“It doesn’t matter who I sleep with”) and in the church (“Sexual sin is the worst; there’s no hope for you if you’ve fallen”). Is sex just a base animal instinct, or is it a sacred mystery about the meaning of the universe? Tune in to find out!

The LGBT2Q+ movement has been successful in convincing a lot of people that God may bless same-sex unions, and that Scripture doesn’t really speak to modern gay and lesbian relationships. Mike and Matthew address this from a Biblical perspective and also provide some helpful guidance on the issue of Christians who experience same-sex attraction.

Scriptures Referenced:
Lev 20:13; Mat 19:12; Rom 1:24-27; 1Cor 6:9-11

CORRECTION: Mike mentioned the name of Richard Bauckham on this episode, when he meant to say Richard Hays.

In this episode, Mike is joined by his wife, Helen, for a conversation on the topic of “sexual detox.” They explore the concept of purging wrong ideas about sex that society, culture, and even the church can instill. The couple emphasizes how distorted views on sex—gathered from media, jokes, music, and even certain religious teachings—need to be realigned with biblical truth. This detox involves a renewed understanding of sex according to Scripture, which is good and pure.

Scriptures Referenced: 1 Thess 4:1-8; Gen 1-2; Prov 5:15-19; Song of Songs 1:2; Mal 2:14-16; Prov 2:16-17

To many people, marriage is just a piece of paper. Who needs a license to love? In this follow-up episode to PP173, we discuss why such thinking is wrong. Wedding vows and the marriage covenant are not obstacles to passionate love, but the fertile ground in which it can survive and thrive. And even if we’ve strayed from God’s design for romantic relationship, there’s still hope, because the ultimate source of enduring love is none other than Jesus Christ.

Scriptures Referenced: Song of Songs 8:5-7
