Lots of us have been taught not to have sex before marriage, but are we able to explain the reasons why?

Purity culture has lot to say about sex, but not too much to say about anything else that relates to biblical purity. So where do we go from here? How does God want us to speak about sex & purity? This #thirdthursday, we’re dissecting all things purity culture, looking at where it’s gone wrong and where it’s gone right. Join us at The TABLE: we got a little something for everyone in this conversation.

If there is anything this conversation has taught us, it is that the more we learn to see the earth and all of creation through God’s eyes, the more we will learn to value it as He does. So, how does sustainability and environmental justice play into that perspective? And how can we care for each other by caring for the planet? Grab your seat at The TABLE: let’s explore this a bit together.
