Season One - 1. The Bachelorette and Holiness


Listen Later

Arguments over Hannah's walk with Jesus began back in July, after an episode aired where Luke P. challenged Hannah's Christianity by asking her about her sexual history. In response, Hannah said, "I have had sex, and honestly, Jesus still loves me." Not only was this a controversial conversation, but it showed a shift in The Bachelorette, as this season is the first in which Christianity has played a part. The producers of the show have since said that they were angling for this conversation between Luke and Hannah to happen, and wanted things to blow up.

Knowing this about Hannah and The Bachelorette, RD and Greg take time to establish that Jesus does love all sinners, but He asks His followers to walk in obedience with His commands; the two reference passages such as Luke 6 and John 14. RD also references Matthew 5, where Jesus talks about even looking at someone lustfully is wrong.

Their discussion also turns to how the Church used to have a lot of societal authority on all kinds of subjects (such as the prohibition of alcohol), but now, it seems society places an over-emphasis of Jesus as a savior and a de-emphasis on Jesus as Lord (meaning people can say things like, "How I behave doesn't change or affect how Jesus feels about me").

RD and Greg's talk culminates with RD sharing a story from his past, where a woman at a party asks him if he really believes having sex before marriage is wrong.
