The body is not only biological. The body is theological. As the Apostle Paul tells us, our creation as male and female and the call of the two to become “one flesh” reveals “a great mystery” – it reveals the eternal plan of the Father for his Son to have a bride, the church. This is precisely why the enemy attacks right here: his goal is to blind us to the “great mystery” revealed through our sexuality. The good news of the Gospel is that Christ came into the world to give sight to the blind and to redeem us bodily. This brief reflection by Dr. Christopher West will help us open our eyes to the covenant mystery revealed by God through the beauty of human sexuality.Try Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days by visiting www.CovenantEyes.com and using promo code: FREEPODCAST at checkout. Learn more about Christopher West here: https://tobinstitute.org/Send us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2024 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

Parents today are the first generation to raise kids in a digitally connected, porn-saturated world. Porn can be accessed in locker rooms, cafeterias, classrooms, and bedrooms—anywhere kids have access to digital devices. Worse yet, pornography that was once considered fringe has become increasingly mainstream. All this is misshaping children’s understanding of sexuality, stunting their capacity to process emotions, and crippling their ability to form long-term relationships. In this presentation, Daniel Weiss and Joshua Glaser will outline the themes of the book and share 3 Big Takeaways that can help parents and churches reframe the issue of talking about porn and sex away from what not to do toward living into the goodness for which God created us. They will also explore how churches can develop a missional outreach to area parents and strengthen their congregation in the process.Check out their book here: Treading BoldlySend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2024 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

Helping You Win the War Within Before You Go To Battle for the ChurchThis jam-packed session with Pastor Steve Arterburn M Ed. is a must-watch event!About our Guest: Pastor Steve ArterburnMINISTRY:  Stephen Arterburn is a respected innovator dedicated to helping transform lives with God’s truth all over the world.   In 1988 Arterburn founded New Life Treatment Centers, a venture-capital funded organization providing Christian psychiatric and addiction treatment in secular psychiatric hospitals. Because of the impact, growth, and profitability of this organization Stephen was awarded the Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young, Merrill Lynch, and Inc. Magazine.  He quickly grew that extremely profitable organization to $100,000,000 in revenues before it was purchased by Thomas Nelson Publishers. At that time, he spun off “New Life Ministries” into the current, not-for-profit ministry producing the number-one syndicated Christian counseling talk show, “New Life Live”. Many people in remote locations say it is the only wise counsel available to them.New Life has maintained its focus on three principles since 1988: true truth, redemptive relationship and total transformation. New Life has a network of 1,000 Christian counselors and therapists around the country who help the thousands of people who call 800 NEWLIFE.  What used to be done in hospitals and treatment centers happens now in weekend intensives involving both therapists and speakers.  Every Man’s Battle, Restore for women who have been betrayed, Emotional Freedom and Intimacy In Marriage are some of the intensive weekend events conducted by New Life. Steve Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewLifeSteve/New Life Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newlifemin/Steve Twitter: @SteveArterburnNew Life Twitter: @NewLifeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/newlifelive/Instagram for Steve: https://www.instagram.com/therealstephenarterburn/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/newlifeliveLife Recovery Groups Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liferecoverygroups/Life Recovery Groups Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liferecoverygroups/Send us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2024 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved
