“God, Fantasy, & Lust” - How does the Gospel integrate in with our unwanted sexual behaviors?

Please join Mr. Jay Stringer- ordained minister, licensed mental health counselor, and researcher- and myself, for an integrated conversation around Jay’s work with faith, spirituality, and human sexuality.

Jay has completed incredible research over the years in working with men and women around their fantasies, lusts, and unwanted sexual behaviors. Through his work and his understanding of deep grace and theology-deeper understanding than most of The Church has ever taught or conceptualized-Jay has discovered so much of these experiences are actually road maps into deeper places of healing. We discuss identity, Eros energy, affairs and pornography, adverse childhood experiences, what sets up for unwanted sexual behaviors, and how do we find our way out?

It is a complete honor and privilege to have Mr. Jay Stringer on as a guest, and if you haven’t already, you’ll want to check out his brilliant book “ Unwanted”. Please enjoy the show !

Jay Stringer (LMHC, M.Div., MA) is a licensed mental health counselor, researcher, ordained minister, international speaker, and author of the award-winning book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month; so for this month, I wanted to share about the importance of educating The Church and Christians about the reality of mental health. It sounds sacrilegious, but sometimes praying or reading your Bible isn’t going to fix everything... if that was the case, the pews would be full of completely sanctified and healed individuals.

Can God miraculously deliver us? Absolutely! Does He always do that? Absolutely not.

Please join me for a layered and complex dialogue regarding the principles and variables we in The Church need to consider concerning our mental health, the mental health of fellow believers; and ways to find healing, deliverance, and freedom outside of Sunday.

In this episode, I attempt to delineate between mental health and mental illness; biological factors; relational factors; factors of trauma; and spiritual factors – all of which can positively or negatively impact or mental health.

If you are a pastor, a minister, anybody in ministry- I hope and pray this is helpful for you as you consider the needs of those you are serving day in and day out…along with your own needs and the needs of your family members!
