Becoming Whole

In this episode Josh delves into the concept of apocalypse, not as the end of the world, but as a revelation and unveiling of deeper truths. Relating the concept to ancient literary genres and pop culture references, Josh explores the idea that our current world is concealing important realities, particularly in the realm of sexuality. 

Drawing parallels between spiritual apocalypses and societal patterns, he emphasizes the need for a revelation to break free from distorted views on sex, procreation, and gender.  This exploration is not merely academic; it's a quest that deepens our recognition of Jesus Christ's transformative work within us, empowering us to confront the challenges that distort our self-perception and the way we view those around us.

Join us in this insightful and thought-provoking discussion on why we need apocalypse and its significance in reclaiming sexual integrity.

Do you ever feel that parts of your life are too dirty or shameful to reveal? If we are honest there are challenging aspects of our sexual stories that we often prefer to keep in the shadows. 
We all carry struggles and pains, but what if we could turn them towards Jesus for healing and restoration? 

As we reflect upon the story of the leper, a man considered unclean and cast out, we are reminded of Jesus's willingness to touch and cleanse him. This calls us to bring all parts of our stories into the light, embracing the promise of healing and freedom.

Does becoming a Christian mean you've unlocked the key to full satisfaction in life?  Let's explore that myth together. 

Our longing for God is infinite, and we won't find full satisfaction in this fallen world until we meet Jesus face to face. 

In this episode, we uncover a common error that may be holding you back from becoming whole. Recognizing your hunger for God can lead to true freedom and sexual integrity.  We discuss how accepting our infinite thirst can keep us on course towards God and His kingdom, instead of being misled by fleeting earthly desires. 

 Remember, we're in a season of 'now and not yet', and our ultimate satisfaction will come when we meet Jesus face to face. So join us on this journey of faith, pursuit, and anticipation. Let's lean into our hunger for more and see how it can lead us to a deeper connection with God.

Are you tired of the chains of sexual sin and yearning for wholeness? 

It’s time to step off the beaten path and confront the pain and suffering that often accompany the pursuit of sexual integrity. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Bishop Robert Barron, we engage in a poignant conversation about the realities of life in a fallen world. It's not easy, but as followers of Christ, we are reminded that enduring suffering is part of our journey. This is not about dwelling in pain, but about attaining integrity, wholeness, and ultimately, freedom.

As we delve deeper, we begin to understand the impact of our past wounds on our current struggles. Our childhood experiences and the messages we received during that time often shape our behaviors and influence our journey towards sexual integrity. 
But it's not all bleak - there's hope and healing. We open up about our personal experiences and the challenges of breaking free from sexual addiction. 

We encourage you to not shy away from the pain, but to lean into it and allow God to heal and guide you. Remember, you are made for more than your past hardships. 
Join us for this honest, enlightening, and ultimately hopeful discussion.

How often do we truly examine the 'bad fruit' in our lives? 

In an honest and revealing conversation, we venture deep into this concept, drawing inspiration from Brother Lawrence's book "The Practice of the Presence of God". We discuss the temptation to quickly discard these imperfections, instead of tracing them back to their roots. We encourage you to invite Jesus into your life to not only confront these sins but to help bear good fruit. 

We then transition to the transformative power of partnership with Jesus, exploring the importance of sanctification. Referencing the profound verses of Romans 12:1-2, we discuss the significance of offering ourselves as living sacrifices and letting our minds be renewed. As we address the 'bad fruit' in our lives, we explore how this process leads to a more vibrant and fulfilled existence. 

Join us as we journey together towards sanctification, ending in a collective prayer for guidance along this path. Tune in and let's cultivate and harvest the fruits of a life in partnership with Jesus, together.

What does it mean to feel stuck in unwanted sexual behavior, and how does our personal anger factor into the equation? 

This very question is what we are unpacking in this episode with our guest Aaron Tagert. We walk with you through the profound insights of Jay Stringer, aiming to shed light on the six core experiences that characterize these struggles: deprivation, dissociation, unconscious arousal, futility, lust, and anger.

This episode will equip you with a blueprint to do just that. 

We journey into the first leg of this process - managing patterns and creating boundaries to shield ourselves from behaviors that lead us astray.

Then  we take a deep dive into the art of engaging in healthy relationships, the second leg of your journey to sexual integrity. We share invaluable insights on regulating your emotions and addressing pain in healthier ways instead of retreating to old sexual behaviors. 

This conversation is more than just about sexual integrity; it's a call to engage life as an adult, leaving behind the wounded child within. This episode is a transformative exploration into creating healthy boundaries, understanding behavioral patterns, and achieving sexual integrity.

Imagine a cunning enemy, a cloaked figure weaving a grand illusion, promising sweet pleasures and enticing favors. But beneath the guise, he's a true enslaver, pulling you into a web spun from deceptions and false promises. 

That's Satan for you – not the fun uncle he pretends to be but a true master of disguise. Through an exciting exploration of biblical stories and fairy tales, we unmask his cunning strategies, drawing parallels from Jesus's temptation in the desert and the Little Mermaid's tale. It's an opportunity to gaze through the looking glass, to see beyond the allure of temporary pleasure, and to recognize the chains that come with it.

As we step into the second part of our journey, we encounter a liberating alternative - Jesus, the essence of true freedom and the power to resist temptation. Serving Him doesn't lead to enslavement but to authentic liberty. And so, we arrive at the crucial crossroads: whom will you serve? Will it be Satan, the master illusionist promising delights but shackling you in the process, or Jesus, who invites us to serve Him with our whole heart, mind, and body, promising real freedom? 

Withstanding temptation, leaning into Jesus's power, and choosing to follow Him can lead us to a life of freedom and wholeness. 
Let this episode spark that choice within you.

We also discuss this sensitive subject, debating the temptation to utilize the internet as the ultimate problem solver for our soul's longings.
