What is the Purpose of Sex? w/ Sean McDowell EP 419
We live in a world that has fallen so far from biblical truth regarding sex, and many in Church have bought the lie. I regularly battle "Christian" men and their anti-biblical views of cohabitation, homosexuality, divorce, and sex outside of marriage. Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. In addition to his role as Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, Sean travels throughout the United States and abroad, speaking at camps, churches, schools, universities, and conferences. Sean is the co-host for the Think Biblically podcast, which is one of the most popular podcasts on faith and cultural engagement. He has written, co-written, or edited more than twenty books and has a leading apologetics blog at seanmcdowell.org. In April 2000, Sean married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie. They have three children and live in San Juan Capistrano, California. https://seanmcdowell.org/item/chasing-love www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast Contact us
