Today, Dr. Stephanie is solo but has a discussion the church needs to hear with Dr. Andrew Bauman.
Andrew has been on the show before, but this month our focus is on porn or sexual abuse and addiction, and what is healthy?
Dr. Stephanie asks Dr. Andrew:
What is an appreciation of beauty vs. "bounce the eyes" and devouring beauty?
What is healthy masculinity?
How has the Church devalued women?
What is sexual intimacy?
Dr. Stephanie mentions that many men, when porn is discovered, go into blame, shame, or defensive anger, and asks Andrew, What is happening here?
Is porn use betrayal or infidelity?
What needs to happen to heal and restore masculinity in the way God intended?
