Churches used to talk about lust all the time. Now they don't — and PF has a theory about why. In this episode, PF, Esther, and Tunde tackle the conversation most pastors and podcasters won't touch: sexual desire, attraction, what both men and women are responsible for, and why being honest about biology doesn't make you a bad person.
PF gets into why he'd rather preach about redemption than catalogue sins, what happens when desire becomes "inordinate," and the uncomfortable reality that human biology hasn't caught up with modern expectations. This one will make you think — and probably make you uncomfortable. That's the point.
In this episode:
- Why churches stopped talking about lust (and what replaced it)
- PF's definition: "Lust is desire that has become inappropriate"
- The honest conversation about attraction most men are afraid to have
- What you lead with is what you attract — and that applies to everyone
- Practical advice for managing desire without pretending it doesn't exist
- Why God doesn't remove sexual desire — and what He does instead
