Kingdom S*xuality: S*x in the Bible - https://moralrevolution.com/podcast-post/kingdom-s*xuality/

Recently we hosted an event on the Gospel of S*x. Laurence Koo shared amazing and freeing truths about our s*xuality and God's intentions for how our s*xuality plays out in our everyday lives -- for both singles and married, homos*xual and heteros*xual. You will be richly encouraged after listening to his session!

Following his talk, we had a panel speak into current issues and questions that we all deal with:
How do I express my s*xuality as a single person?
Can I experience fullness of life without engaging in s*x?
How do I deal with ma********on as a single or married person?
Why is po*******hy so addictive and how can I get freedom from an addiction?
As a homos*xual, how can I pursue God and be "myself" while not feeling like it's joyless and a burden?
How do I love well a friend or family member who is homos*xual, even if our views oppose each other's?
How should I approach movies and shows that contain s*x?
How does s*xual violence in movies affect my views of women?
Is there hope from the shame of s*xual brokenness in my life?

We hope this is encouraging to you! If you have questions or would like to talk further with someone in person, please email us: [email protected]

No matter your relationship status, this is good stuff.

I have read and heard and read some more of the case for marrying young, but the more I think about it, and the more I see faithful singles in their late twenties into their thirties and forties and beyond, the more I actually do believe with Paul that it is good to remain unmarried, if not forever,

Does the way we use the word “disciple” indicate something about our hearts? About our preferences? Do we prefer the noun of being a disciple or the verb of making disciples?

If faith is the conviction of things unseen, then Steve Jobs was a man of great faith.

Angela is at it again!! You've got a unique opportunity to support orphans affected by AIDS by joining her team. Go, Angela Kathryn Jackson!

The numbers are staggering. Of the 32 million orphans in sub-Sahara Africa, 11 million are orphans affected by AIDS.  Children are our most vulnerable population - period. Yet add to that poverty and lack of family support, and these children have very little to protect them from harm.  I'm pas...
