Beau presented a class on understanding today's pornography at a Junior College for 6 successive years. This class was presented per semester in a Human Sexuality course at the college. It was a extreme joy to present the material and meet many students over the course of six years. Thank you for everyone who made it possible!

My will or God's? What is God's will for your sexuality? Beau and Adrian look at 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4 “It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.”

What a Podcast! Beau & Peter take a moment to discuss the spectrum of sinful behavior. Are all sins equal? Our sexual behavior says something about ourselves! Do you know what it says about you? It can be challenging for many to discuss their sex lives, but why, since it is common to human beings? Enjoy the discussion!

Katy sits down with Beau to discuss the idea of God Transitioning into a human being! But is it good to use this kind of language when we are talking about God?

Check out this edition of the Better Pleasure Podcast!

Talk about a hot cultural topic! Drag Queen reading hour at the local bookstore! What began in San Francisco now is happening in different part of the country. What is the issue with it? Are Christians being narrow minded or is there a valid concern for children's safety? Beau comes from a progressive southern California background and Peter was brought up in a conservative home. Let's see how they both talk about this topic. Let's do this!

Who is Mary Wollstonecraft and how did she influence our culture? Could one of the most influential feminist be a Christian? She was a British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights in the 1700's! Today Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences. Peter and Beau take a look into her writing and how it relates to the Biblical teaching of male/female roles. Also they discuss how many of today's feminist forget to mention Mary's foundational worldview in Biblical truth. Is the consequence to neglecting such a foundation seen in today's gender/sex wars?

"I'm not having a hint of sexual immorality in my life!" Peter and Beau discuss these issues as they continue moving through there presentation for the Teaching Pastor!

Part 4 is not for whimps! It is certainly is the litmus test on where we are at as Pastors! Are we prideful in sharing from the pulpit? Do we know how to be honest when making Pastoral policies in a fellowship? Or are do we cloak our decisions in strength language so as to not be exposed of our personal struggles? Peter and Beau hope to show how being honest with a congregation can be the best, God honoring, way to approach the ministry.

This is Part 3 of our Pastors and Leaders Training Series called, "The Pastors Paradigm." Have you ever wanted to minister to people in your congregation regarding sexual issues, but did not know how to? Why is that? Are we stuck in paradigms that need to be changed to be more Biblical in our teaching ministries regarding sexual topics?

What's in a slogan? What makes for good cultural propaganda today? "That's the whole point of good propaganda.

Facebook has changed its name to Meta! Its a virtual world we are moving to! What is reality? It's a question that was put forth in the movie, "The Matrix." In todays online, virtual world, are the lines being blurred more and more as to what is real, and what is not? And can today's online communities tell the difference? Are there real things happening to people in a virtual, role playing scenario that affects there mind and bodies in the "real world?" And how does this relate to sex and the Bible?

Peter breaks out a article by Gabriel Mac title, "My Penis, Myself, I didn't need a penis to be a man. But I needed one to be me." Sound interesting?

Beau & Peter do part 2 of their commentary of Robert Jensen's article on Pornography: Doing the Worst to Women, Bringing out the Worst in Men. This chat revolves around the worldview Robert Jensen is talking about, which holds the following: A feminist critique of the sexual-exploitation industries is, for me and the feminists I have worked with, part of an expansive critique of all forms of power that are so routinely abused. Activists in the movement to challenge commercial sexual exploitation also highlight abuses of power in all the forms around us: racism, economic inequality and global exploitation, militarism, ecological degradation. A feminist critique of pornography is not separate from, but is one part of, a larger progressive/ecological critique of illegitimate concentrations of power. https://countercurrents.org/2021/11/pornography-doing-the-worst-to-women-bringing-out-the-worst-in-men/
