Flipping the Switch Part 2 (How to Love Yourself)

"Is masturbation wrong?" It's a question that has plagued many a teenager, and many a single adult as well. In this episode (a continuation of our series on sex) we discuss real-life issues surrounding the misunderstanding of self-love and how to practically navigate sexual urges as an unmarried person.

Flipping the Switch (From No Sex to Go:Sex!)

"Don't have sex. Don't have sex. Don't have sex. DON'T HAVE SEX." It's the broken record every Christian is told before marriage. Then, suddenly, wedding night comes and BOOM: you can have all the sex you want. Rarely does this method of sexual miseducation pan out well for singles or married couples, as we discuss in this episode. (As part of our latest series on sex, this episode covers mature subject matter that will not be suitable for children.)

Sexual Healing (How We Misunderstand Sex in a Broken World)

Sex is good. At least, that's the way it was designed...but, a broken world means that each of us comes to the table (and therefore, the bedroom) with a broken understanding of good sex. This episode starts what we hope will be an entertaining, educational, and empowering series about sex, and how it is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest! We share our own testimonies of brokenness and offer some practical insight to help you to start understanding and overcoming your own sexual brokenness.

A King Can't Be Impeached (Misunderstanding Our Dual Citizenship)

Listen to this episode to hear our take on some ways Christians misunderstand what it means to be in the world, but not of it, and practical, real life ways to respond in such a hypersensitive culture.
