Sex (And Everything but the Kitchen Sink) // Talking Elephants & Tipping Cows
You know those topics that are taboo? The topics that polite conversations avoid? The topics that we’re all thinking about it, but we’re not talking about—especially at church? Yeah...we’re going there. Politics, sex, alcohol, suicide, hell, suffering. We’re talking about all of these “Elephants in the Room” and we might even tip some “Sacred Cows” that have been built up in the process. Now you might be thinking: “This is going to be uncomfortable.” You’re right. It’s going to be uncomfortable...and eye-opening, healing, necessary. There is no better, safer place to discuss these topics than church. So with that in mind...can we talk?
Marriage, sex, relationships, divorce, masturbation, dating, singleness—we’re hitting on all of it! But isn’t the Bible kind of outdated when it comes to this topic? What can we learn about sex, love, and dating in 2022 from a book that was written over 2,000 years ago in the ancient Middle East? The answer may surprise you—and tip over a few sacred cows along the way.
