He draws on the writings of Black activist Ijeoma Oluo and the teachings of the Bible to gain insight for today.

  • Sex is Okay with God

    Text me your thoughts!

    Sex commands center stage in our society today, filling the headlines with debate and the websites with erotica. Can we find a healthier sexuality through theology, ethics, and science? I think so, because sex is okay with God. 

    In this episode I discuss the basic vocabulary we need but don't really know. I dig into some of the Bible material beyond just the simple proof texts, especially surrounding LBGTIA issues. Finally, the principles of sex as good and fidelity as central are presented.
