Save the World Through Great Sex: God’s Design for Marriage, Intimacy, and Revival

In this episode of The Naked Gospel Podcast, Nick Liberto and Wailer tackle one of the boldest claims you’ll ever hear: great sex could actually save the world. They unpack why God’s design for intimacy is about so much more than pleasure; it’s about discipleship, family legacy, and cultural transformation. From biblical insights to historical lessons from the fall of Rome, this conversation reframes sex as central to both marriage and mission.Along the way, they confront the lies the church has inherited, expose how silence has crippled generations, and paint a compelling vision of what happens when couples embrace sex as holy, purposeful, and deeply joyful. Whether you’re single, married, or raising kids, this episode will challenge how you think about intimacy and inspire you to see it as one of God’s greatest gifts for personal and global renewal.Support the show
