Pastors are called to endow the office with a holy life — a life of reverence and humility under the Word of God. This holiness extends beyond their personal lives into how they carry out their office—how they preside at the altar. In this episode we’re looking at Old Testament patterns and paradigms of this holiness.

Sadly, most couples who come to their pastor seeking marriage view sex either as self-pleasure or a forbidden evil. In this episode, we seek to reorient the hearts, minds, and bodies toward a scriptural view of the sexual relationship in marriage.
