Redeeming Sexuality in the Church w/Debra Hirsch

36 minutes

Nothing has exposed the gap between the church and the broader society quite like the cultural argument over sexuality. Relationships, identities, orientations and even seemingly straightforward concepts such as gender have cut battle lines between the church and the world.

In this episode, we speak to Debra Hirsch, author of the book Redeeming Sex, and discover a holistic, biblical vision of sex and gender that honors God and offers good news to the world.

Deb reflects on some of her own journey with us as she brings fresh language and insightful definitions of sexuality into the context of the church. When you consider the world from the perspective of God's kingdom mission, it turns out the smoke clears and a redemptive imagination takes root.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

Why sex and sexuality is such a “hot-button” issue for the church

What the church and Christians need to wake up to concerning sex

How our understanding of sexuality can deepen our relationship with God

How the search for intimacy in relationships mirrors our search for God

From this episode:

"God doesn’t rank sin. None of us are perfect or without sin in some area of our life. God loves us where we are and he does not label any one type of sin worse or more offensive than any others. Jesus died for ALL sin and longs to redeem every part of our lives and relationships back to God’s loving design."
