Wayne and Brad follow up last week's podcast with some further dialog about sexuality, sexual temptations, and how we can let God into that space to bring wholeness to the precious gift of sexuality that he gave us. It's amazing how much sexuality governs our lives and how little we talk about it as part of our spiritual journey. It is often hidden in shame and the lie that no one is struggling with it who really loves God. They discuss whether attraction or even arousal is by definition the lust Jesus talked about in Matthew 5 and if self-gratification is always sinful. But sexual brokenness is rampant and the consequences of misplaced sexual expression so damaging to our own souls as well as those we take advantage of, that we dare not ignore it. But the love of God means we don't have to hide anymore. Finding a gracious space in the Father's heart to discuss our sexual struggles with him as well as with close friends is critical to making any progress against the temptations and religious shame that dominates this arena.
