What if the real issue with pornography isn't that it shows too much, but that it reveals too little?
Through the lens of Jesus' transformative encounters with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman, we'll uncover how He calls us to step out of darkness and into the light, teaching us to see others with the same love and compassion He exemplifies.
As we wrap up our summer season (2-week break), we invite you to slow down and seek the perspective of Christ in your daily life. We can nurture genuine love and deeper compassion by asking Jesus to reveal how He sees others and ourselves. We're grateful for your support throughout this season and look forward to reconnecting at our upcoming Awaken and Sacred by Design retreats. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and we wish you all grace and peace until we meet again.

In a replay of a popular episode, Josh and James addresses a listener's question about fantasizing about one's spouse during masturbation. While scripture does not provide a clear directive on masturbation, it suggests that acts disconnected from the procreative and unitive purposes of sex does not align with God's design. From a practical standpoint, he acknowledges that fantasizing about one's spouse is a step towards sexual integrity but doesn't fully capture the essence of marital intimacy. Josh encourages listeners to pursue a journey of mastering their desires and aligning them with self-giving love. The episode also challenges the cultural belief that sex is a need, suggesting that while relationships and connection are vital, sex is not a necessity for being whole.

What if sexual integrity wasn't an impossible goal but an ongoing journey of alignment with God's will? Join us as Josh Glaser, executive director at Regeneration, guides us through the transformative power of surrender in the face of temptation. Inspired by Mary's response to the angel in Luke 1:38, Josh introduces a compelling prayer exercise that emphasizes dedicating our bodies and desires to God.
Together, we draw a connection between Mary's act of giving her body to the Lord and the Christian call to sexual integrity. Highlighting the contrast between the self-destructive nature of lust and the life-giving essence of love, we explore how genuine heart transformation matters more to God than outward appearances. Whether you're struggling with sexual integrity or supporting a loved one who is, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and practical insights. Plus, don't miss out on our announcements for upcoming opportunities for spiritual growth, including the Awakened Men's Retreat and the Sacred by Design Women's Retreat.

Can God's love and holiness coexist harmoniously? Join us as we dispel the myth of a dichotomous "God of the Old Testament" versus "God of the New Testament," emphasizing the unified and consistent nature of God throughout the Bible. We break down how God's attributes—love, holiness, mercy, and judgment—are not only compatible but are perfectly integrated within Him. By understanding this holistic view of God's character, we gain critical insights into sexual morality and how this understanding should shape our approach to sexual integrity and relationships, steering us away from bad theology that breeds confusion and chaos.
Whether you're dealing with feelings for someone outside your marriage or grappling with same-sex attraction, we'll explore how true love and holiness are inseparable and mutually reinforcing. Underscoring the necessity of submitting our desires to Jesus, and embracing compassion and patience both in our journeys and when supporting loved ones.

What if your imagination could be the key to a deeper spiritual connection with God? This week, we explore how imagination can shape our faith, starting with the biblical story of Eve's temptation in Genesis 3. We dissect how deceptive imaginations can lead us astray, much like Eve's encounter with the forbidden fruit, and draw parallels to modern-day temptations such as sexual fantasies. You'll discover how recognizing these false imaginations is the first step in combating them and nurturing a faith that engages both heart and mind.
