Everywhere we turn, the world is bombarding us with ideas about sexuality. How should we as Christians be thinking about sex? This week Janet and Jocelyn tackle the tough subject of human sexuality. Christians often tend to shy away from this issue, while the world talks about it constantly. How should our Biblical worldview shape the way we view sexuality? What does God have to say about it, and how can we honor Him while living in a fallen world? Episode Transcript Resources: Books/PDFs What’s the Difference?
