  • Jesus' Sacred Perception of Sexuality

    What if we've been interpreting Jesus' view of sexuality all wrong?

    Join me as we explore a fresh perspective on this topic: how Jesus saw people as sexual beings without objectifying them.

    We'll unpack how Jesus saw whole people, highlighting the divine difference between being sexual and being sexualized.

    Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Scripture, let's redefine how we view and value what it means to be sexual, applying it to our own interactions and personal perspectives.

    The media, with its relentless spotlight on physicality apart from personhood, often distorts our understanding of sexuality.

    Together, we'll uncover the media's impact on the sexualization of individuals, revealing how it often disconnects sexual parts from their procreative power, reducing people to mere objects of desire.

    Jesus offers a way out of this narrative. .

    Get ready to embark on a transformative journey towards understanding and embracing a more holistic view of human sexuality.
