Pornography is a silent struggle for many within church congregations, yet it's often shrouded in secrecy and shame. What if addressing it head-on could transform not only individual lives but entire communities? In our latest episode, we explore the findings of Barna's eye-opening study in collaboration with Pure Desire Ministries, revealing that over half of practicing Christians have viewed pornography, and a staggering number find themselves without support. 

Join us as we discuss how we can find support and be supportive of those who are struggling with unwanted sexual behavior as individuals and as a collective local body.

Can you imagine a life where the constant struggle with unwanted sexual behaviors is met with the comfort of God's presence? We all carry a deep human longing to be seen, known, and loved, but sometimes these desires manifest in harmful ways. While our needs can be loud and demanding, God's presence offers a subtler yet far more profound fulfillment. 

We also tackle the challenge of sustaining spiritual practices like prayer and journaling in a world filled with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Emotions are not just in our minds—they are felt in our bodies, and God's presence is there with them.  
Join us as we discuss how cultivating this awareness can address the root causes of unwanted behaviors and lead you toward a path of healing and wholeness.

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?

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.

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.
