The What is a Woman documentary by Matt Walsh has landed among the most streamed documentaries in 2022. Should you watch it? The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh interviews modern gender theorists on the subject of gender identity and pursues the definition of the word woman.

Will Smith and Chris Rock had an explosive incident as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards. Will Smiths outburst shows us how our emotions can lead to unwanted behavior. Our beliefs impact our behavior. What are the toxic lies that are the root of Will Smith's behavior? I can relate to struggling to manage emotions. When we react based on our emotions, our behavior is often out of line with the person we desire to be. The Core Lie illustration shows how to identify and root out unhealthy beliefs to prevent unwanted behavior. We often medicate our unwanted emotions, but a much better strategy is to replace the lies with the truths of God's Word. “and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”” (Matthew 3:17, ESV) “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” (John 8:32, ESV) Need accountability online?

Toxic Church Teaching on Female Sexual Desire from purity culture. In The Great Sex Rescue (https://amzn.to/3J6Dlg4) Sheila Gregoire documents teaching on Female Sexual Desire that makes intimacy more difficult in marriage. Popular books like "The Power of a Praying Wife" and "His Needs, Her Needs" propagate these teachings. Much of the teaching on sex focusses on male sexual release and ignores women's sexual desires. Men are portrayed as having a need for sex and women only have a need for relationship or emotional intimacy. This leads to the orgasm gap which is men having far more orgasms than their wives. The Scripture speaks in mutual terms for loving and serving your spouse. "The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:3, ESV) Let us know what you think in the comment section.
