The gospel of Jesus and sexuality are NOT mutually exclusive.

It’s easy to relegate gospel preaching to only be about the initial introduction to Jesus that leads someone to faith in Him. This, unfortunately, leaves a large space in between the moment of that decision and the moment of someone’s death. So, what happens in between?

This space is where the gospel continues to work as our lives are healed by the good news of Jesus. As Christian leaders, we cant talk about this work without talking about sexuality.

In Episode 56, Bryan and Bonnie share some key points on how we can develop a gospel-centred perspective towards sexuality in our churches and ministries.

They thought that it was all over. They had been high school sweethearts, married for multiple years, but Chris had begun to live a double-life.

Though he was leading worship on Sunday mornings at his church, doubts and questions about his faith were nagging at him. It was a battle in his mind, but also in his soul as he began to live without restraint.

The foundation of their marriage was eroding, and Steph was shocked the day that Chris told her it was over. Shortly after, the divorce papers were signed. But, it wasn’t as over as they thought. 

We are grateful to be able to share our conversation with this remarried couple from Out of the Dust music over on The Union Podcast today.

Leaders face a cost when they raise their voices on the topics of sexuality and morality. But never forget that the cost of silence is far higher.

And the young generation desperately needs us to pay that price and give them some kind of bearing. Give them some guidance through the minefields of moral relativism, identity crisis, and walking your way back from heartache and shame.

God never shied away from the topics around sexuality that can make us blush and squirm in church auditoriums or Bible study classrooms.

In this episode, Bryan and Bonnie talk about:

- the pressures that church leaders are facing

- the topics that the next generation desperately need some wisdom on

- the link between spiritual awakening and sexual wholeness

- how you can take one step forward this year for the sake of your church community

In this episode, Bryan & Bonnie continue on in the theme of identity and the complexities of the current discussion around gender.

In this episode we cover:

• Seeing the topic of gender confusion, with a Biblical and historical lens. Seeing that this topic is not really new.

• Recognizing that rigid, cultural stereotypes aren’t placed there by God. There are differences between men and women, and there are unique assignments entrusted to men and women, but there is so much space for individual expression within those assignments.

• Knowing the love of God for the “eunuch” , the one who has had surgical alteration to their body in order to resist their biological gender, and that God has a place of belonging prepared for those who would surrender these decisions to Him.

• For those who are wrestling - God is coming to you. Just like the account of Jacob in the Book of Genesis, God came looking for a lost confused young man who longed to be blessed in who he was.
