Sex. It's everywhere in our culture, but in so many instances the church is still too uncomfortable to talk about it. Here at Moral Revolution, we're committed to having the conversations that may make others uncomfortable, because we know God has a beautiful design for sex and sexuality. It's a design that when an individual gets a vision for, their lives will never be the same. On today's podcast we're joined by Mo Isom Aiken, a person who is unafraid to go straight to the heart of the conversation about sex, culture, Jesus, the Church, and how it all fits together. In this episode, Mo shares her personal journey and revelation about:

From the immorality of sex before marriage to the necessity of cultivating an active prayer life, the so-called basics of Christian life aren't so basic anymore. How did we get to a place where grace is understood in mainly passive terms, obedience is viewed as legalism, and God is seen as a distant figure who doesn't interfere in our day-to-day lives? Join us for an intense discussion.

In the introduction of Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot, author Mo Isom establishes the position that the church has been relatively silent about sexuality. Julia was out of town for this episode of Bedtime Stories, but Jeremiah's colleagues Stephanie and Tina team up with him to refute this assertion. Warning: Jeremiah, Stephanie, and Tina only make it through the first three pages of Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot; however, these first three pages say a lot about how Evangelical theology, philosophy, and social structures center their discourse around bodies. Jeremiah summarizes: “Christianity of today seems to have a clear moral and political agenda about what to do with bodies, who can do what with bodies, and if people who aren't supposed to do certain things with bodies do certain things with bodies, here's what those bodies can expect.” In this episode, Jeremiah, Stephanie, and Tina explore: The appeal of the “us” versus “them” theme (23:00). Stephanie explains, “When naming the distinction between us and them, it's appealing to have something that feels true, a shameless culture that doesn't care about them. Because for the majority of people, capitalism is the dominant course in the larger culture and it doesn't care about them. Capitalism is concerned about making money and maintaining the current power structures. The idea that the culture doesn't care about you is true enough to align with what people feel, so they read it and think this person is really speaking to me.” The communal impacts of engaging in sexual openness (32:00): Jeremiah asks his female co-hosts what it's like to have a woman promoting idea that women are sexual gatekeepers. Stephanie names, “Breaking away from some of this ideology also involves a massive break from community and opening that person up to criticism and judgment from people in their lives who've been important to them. I may open myself up to my agency and freedom to be who I am, but at what cost? If the cost is all of my attachment relationships, that's way too big for me to even begin to look at.” Jeremiah shares some of the ways that this process has played out in his own life. The role of “eternity” in moral discourse (45:00): Jeremiah notes Isom's strategy of using eternity as a metric for relational decision making, reflecting, “As soon as we start talking about eternity, we start injecting fear into the conversation. We assume that God is the YHWH who burns villages and supports genocide in the name of nation building. If that's the God that I believe in, sure, the present world seems really scary and no wonder I'm looking to eternity. And now I'm in a spiritual relationship where I have to restrict myself and place undue boundaries on myself in order to get this never-happy deity on my side to accept me into this club of heaven.” Reflections on uncertainty (54:00). Tina observes that in Buddhism, one of the key tenets is that of impermanence: Everything is changing and evolving, including humanity. Jeremiah responds that Christianity holds the opposite view, that evolution is a threat, but God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. Tina summarizes the internal conflict: “It's Important of accepting things that can't be changed and having an open mind. If we accept that things are so black and white, how do we expect ourselves to change and be better versions of ourselves?” The connection between the pursuit of certainty, anxiety, and sexuality (1:03:00): Jeremiah explains, “We are taught as Christians that you aren't to trust yourself. The body is bad, and the pleasures of the world are untrustworthy. What sits outside of us, God, the otherworldly, is what to look toward. What are your authentic desires is a terrifying question because what I should be going for is what God wants (or what people are telling me God wants). It's hard to move into that authentic voice.” Stephanie responds, “If the body experience isn't to be trusted and you should pursue the divine, if you aren't in touch with that, you're going to have trouble having sex. You have to allow the wisdom of the body to lead the way sexually. If you're too in your head, you're not being in the present moment. The battle between their religious ideology and their sexual functioning fits into this.” Stephanie, Tina, and Jeremiah are graduates of the South Shore Sexual Health Center's training program in sex therapy; Stephanie and Jeremiah teach in this program.

Did you know you can help save childhood, mama? We are continuing our series on parenting and family culture today with Jessica Smartt. She reminds us how important our jobs as moms really are. Even when it doesn’t feel important, we have gifts we can give our kids that will shape who they become. Jessica says, “we need to be gracious with ourselves, but that doesn’t mean we don’t work on the things that are worth doing.” And parenting our children well is one of those things! Jessica and I chat about her book, Let them Be Kids. We dive into why and how we can give our kids the gifts of adventure, boredom and more. Jessica says our kids are wired to need adventure and we can “either give it to them in a healthy way, or they’re going to want to go find it on their own, and the world offers them tons of options.” We talk about why they need the mental white space of boredom too. Jessica gives us permission to “back the bus up” on decisions we’ve already made about technology. She also shares about grit, work ethic and lessons learned from her kids’ pet sitting business. Jessica is a homeschooling mom of three who loves biking, breakfast food, and being the one in charge of a big fun event. She is the author of Memory-Making Mom and Let Them Be Kids.

Lies Women Believe About Sex – with Molly MosesThe thing about the lies we believe is that we don’t know they’re lies. Obviously, right? But after speaking to so many women, I am convinced that women are still being fed lies concerning sex, sexuality, and what men really want. Thanks Cosmo. To help to inform us of the truth concerning sex and our sexuality is a new friend of mine named Molly Moses. Molly and I met on Clubhouse, the new audio-based social media app, and we hit it off right away. Molly is an avid fitness coach, a wife, and a mother. She incorporates her faith along with her love of family, fashion, and fitness into her blog and her social media. In today’s podcast episode, Molly and I have a fireside girlfriend chat about how to develop a healthy body image, the best times to initiate sex, and we even give you some practical steps on how to feel beautiful in under ten minutes. Making Sex a Priority Molly admitted that having conversations about sex was uncomfortable for her in the beginning of her marriage, because of how she’d been brought up. Let the church say amen. I can relate to that, and so can many others, which is why we discussed this very issue in episode 23: What the Church Forgot to Teach Us About Sex. If you’re uncomfortable talking about sex in your marriage, it’s okay. It can take a while to get comfortable, depending on how much unlearning of inaccurate information you have to do. As married people, we have to make sex a priority, though. Women, your husband told me to tell you he wants you to initiate. Now before you break out in hives, Molly helps us understand that the best time to initiate sex might be when you’re ovulating. I love her explanation of how she arrived at this conclusion and how it’s helped her to initiate sex more often with her husband. Getting Your Sexy BackYou might be wondering how you can initiate sex when you feel anything but sexy. I understand, girl! One of the points Molly and I discuss is how a little goes a long way to help you to feel sexy. Toss out those old sweats, put on some lip gloss, take a shower for the love of all things! When you look better, you feel better, and when you feel better, you do better. Molly talked about how to cultivate a healthier body image, and she talked about the negative side of a positive body image (let that sink in). This is an episode you’ll want to share with your girlfriends. Ladies, sex is a powerful bonding agent that God intended for you and your husband. Use it well. There are so many women, just like you, who need encouragement in this area. That’s why I wanted to have the conversation about the lies women believe about sex. It starts with learning the truth. Embrace your sexuality in all its glory. And then chose to show up as confident as you can for your man.

What the Church Forgot to Teach Us About Sex – with Mark & Dawn LawrenceDear Listener, let me preface this episode by saying that as a pastor, I realize I represent the church. But I’m a member, too. And I, too, have been disappointed with what the church has (and mostly hasn’t) taught about sex. These gaping holes in our formation have stifled and shamed many believers into secrecy. And we all know, secrecy is where the enemy does his best work.I wanted to have a conversation with a married couple who I know embodies the wonder and wisdom of the Christian faith and whose personal lifestyle echoes their commitment to each other. Meet Pastor Mark and Dr. Dawn Lawrence. I’ve known the Lawrences for over 20 years, and the genuine love and affection they have for one another is contagious. They are such a great team, and I’m delighted to have them on the podcast today.Here’s what we’re not going to do. We aren’t here to bash the church. We aren’t here to call out any specific church leader. And we aren’t here to hide behind old traditions and man-made doctrines. We want to uncover what God says about sex and how he meant for us to enjoy it.Take Me to ChurchIf you are still trying to make sense of how sex and church belong in the same sentence, you are the perfect listener for this podcast. Sex is a beautiful, wonderful gift that God gives to his married children. So, if it’s a gift, why aren’t we talking about it? Why aren’t more churches working diligently to prepare singles for this lifetime commitment? Do we expect people to just figure marriage out on their own? The church’s job is to disciple (or train) believers in the ways of God. And sex is not an exception.Lies We’ve Believed About SexIf I were to ask you to write a list of all the lies you’re believing, your list would probably be pretty short. The problem is most of us don’t realize we’re believing a lie. If we knew it was a lie, we wouldn’t believe it! Now, put on your thinking cap and ask yourself if what you’ve been taught about sex is producing good fruit (or results) in your life? If not, chances are it’s a lie. And we’re here to uproot some lies on this podcast today.Some points that stuck out to me from this episode were:Lies and secrets are the enemies of intimacy.When you say “I do,” that means I do you, and you do me, exclusively.Marriage is for more than just pro-creation.Be honest with your sexual needs. Most people don’t have what they want because they aren’t willing to be honest.People are watching your lifestyle. What are you showing them?Stay curious and keep discovering your spouse.God is watching you when you have sex (LOL. I had to throw that one in there!)After 35 years, the Lawrences are still trying new things. Now, that’s what I’m talking about. The fact that this long-married couple is still trying new things, still discovering each other is inspirational.Take a listen to the podcast to glean from all the wisdom they shared.

SummaryNew York Times Bestselling Author Mo Isom joins us today to talk about the concepts surrounding her book Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. Many of us come from one of two sexual upbringings: a sexual education led by pop culture with graphic imagery and lewd narratives, or a sexual education led by the church that is wrapped around sin and avoidance. Neither conversation teaches us what the Bible actually says about sex and God's great design for sex in our lives. So many people struggle to navigate sex and intimacy within their marriage, and in this episode, MJ and Mo talk about some obstacles that couples commonly face and actionable steps to take to begin to progress towards true glorifying intimacy. Tune in to learn more about what the Bible actually says about sex and some different ways to cultivate healthy intimacy within our relationships.Connect Further with Mo IsomClick here to connect with Mo on InstagramClick here to visit MoIsom.comClick here to take Mo's free 8-week video course.

Too often in the church, pornography and sexually compulsive behaviors are viewed as just a man's issue. But our guest today, New York Times Best-Selling Author, Mo Isom, blows up that paradigm and presses into her own story and how the culture in the church around sexuality must change.
Singleness can be a hard thing to navigate. As the church, we need to make sure we are taking care of our single friends! Our conversation with Beth Polston lets us see the view from her vantage point of loving life and serving the Lord where she is. Beth is an elementary music teacher at Northeast Elementary School in Owasso. Her message to us is don't wait to live your life! God is working now, and He has purposes and plans for today for you. She is inspirational, adventurous, and joyful. Listen in!

Mo and I chat about how God created sex, how honesty about sexual sin defeats the enemies schemes, how God desires a pure heart, and privacy vs. darkness. 5:11 Mo begins by sharing how she came to know Jesus and an overview of what she wrote in her first book Wreck Your Life. "I knew a lot about God, but I didn't know God and there's a big difference." High School: "I didn't know who I was or whose I was. I didn't know how that whole Jesus component merged into the other 6 days of the week, so when identity issues came perfectionism began to bind me in a lot of ways." Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. -Matthew 11:28 "His [God] invitation to me was just begin to give Me the glory. You've lived so focused on self....Look at the things I am doing and we'll go from there." "I went from this incomplete perspective of God to God in a box..to still this incomplete view of God: I give You the glory and You give me the blessing." "Suicide suddenly interrupted my story, especially the spiritual side, this faith walk layer. Suddenly this God I had been following and tip toeing with and figuring out and seeing all the goodness of, I felt like was a faros or had abandoned me or was not as good as I thought He was. Suddenly when things didn't feel so good or the circumstances didn't look so good in life I took off running. I ran into depression, into anxiety, into promiscuity, into any sin sized piece I could find to fill the God sized hole in my heart." John 16:33 says, In this world you will face trouble, but take heart, have courage, I have overcome the world. "When we know God. When we hunger and thirst for His Word. When we know the character and nature and complexity or who He reveals Himself to be to us , there is a vast difference in how we handle the hardships. There is a divine hope in the valley." "He will wreck your life to save your life and save your eternal story." "I will use anything and everything to disrupt your lost journey and point you back home and lead you and intersect your heart and your life." Be still and know that I am God -Psalm 46:10 25:10Mo shares what led her to write her 2nd book Sex, Jesus, and The Conversations The Church Forgot. "Scripture says sin is defeated by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony, so I think people seeing they're not alone in something and hearing the radical truth of God all over it has been really neat to see the wave it has created."

The Church is precious. It's Christ's beloved and broken bride. But sex and sexuality conversations have notoriously challenged us for the last ... thousands of years. New York Times bestselling author, Mo Isom, helps guide us through some of these conversations we have forgotten, and does it with storytelling and great passion. (She takes us to church!) Grab a pew, and join us. Highlights: "A lot of my issues grew out of the fact that my family thought the church was talking to me about the hard stuff, and the church thought my family was talking about the hard stuff. So really, no one was talking to me about the hard stuff. Therefore, the world ... was teaching me." --Mo Isom "Nothing you bring to the foot of the cross is going to knock God off of His throne." --Mo Isom Do the Next Thing: Check out the book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot: https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Jesus-Conversations-Church-Forgot-ebook/dp/B0741F8Y3C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SRF6QYEHYCM4&keywords=sex%2C+jesus%2C+and+the+conversations+the+church+forgot+by+mo+isom&qid=1567185697&s=gateway&sprefix=sex%2C+Jesus%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-1 Check out that video resource, Conversations Continued here: https://moisom.teachable.com Dig deeper into her first book (and testimony) here: https://www.amazon.com/Wreck-My-Life-Journeying-Broken-ebook/dp/B015J8UAFM/ref=pd_sim_351_1/147-5732013-3279728?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B015J8UAFM&pd_rd_r=de2cb64c-8c16-400f-8e03-6bfcf03418bc&pd_rd_w=ec0kS&pd_rd_wg=FWLyJ&pf_rd_p=5c130f77-a5ef-4ffd-9db1-c29a354f52f9&pf_rd_r=AX11KMNGRTJJQ16RHYMF&psc=1&refRID=AX11KMNGRTJJQ16RHYMF Discover More: https://lauriekrieg.com/podcast/sex-jesus-and-the-conversations-the-church-forgot-with-mo-isom/ Question of the Week for Next Week: If you had to be stuck inside of a TV show for the rest of your life, which show and what character would you be?

In this episode of the Chasing Freedom Show, I talk with my friend Laura Reynolds about SEX and all the 'good' and 'bad' that comes along with it. I hope this episode brings you some encouragement when it comes to your relationship with sex and new insights into what God intended sex to be like. Laura and I have both struggled with this, so we are chatting girl-to-girl, sin-to-sin - where to next; understanding God is more worried about our next steps than our missteps. It's like Laura says "If the God of the universe can forgive my sins and choose to put them out of his mind, then they clearly have no weigh on my identity and who I am." Listen in as we define 'sex' and 'sexual sin' and answer questions on: being open in the bedroom - being open with your friends - seeking advice to move into purity - pursuing singleness in a God-honoring way - husbands who sexually sin - virginity - premarital sex - what constitutes 'crossing the line' before marriage (how far can we really go!?) - sex after the 'honeymoon phase'. I also share a peak into some things that came up for Derick (my husband) and I during our marital counseling. You can find more from Laura on Instagram @lauradawnreynolds. p.s.

Mo is a New York Times bestselling author and a nationally sought-after speaker. Her newest book Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot is about the role the church can play in the conversation about sex and sexuality. Mo lives in Atlanta with her husband, Jeremiah, and their two daughters, Auden and Asher. Interview Tell us about your sports background. I played soccer at LSU for four years and realized going into my senior year that every NCAA athlete gets five years of eligibility, but only four in one sport. I was going to finish soccer in four years without interruptions. I’d always played with the guys in the football facility about joining their team. I trained with the team for 22 months—lifting weights, doing agility training. By the time I tried out we had gone from two specialists to eight specialists, so I didn’t make the roster. Tell us a little about yourself and your family. My family is my greatest blessing and the best part of myself. My husband Jeremiah is like 6’5” and a blessing from the Lord. He leads our family so well. I’m 6’1” so we’re a tall family. My kids are two and a half and ten months and they’re both already toddler size. We’re just big people and have a fun household. I want to be someone who will support whatever my kids want to do, but I don’t think they have a choice but to be in sports. I just need them to show some coordination! Talk about your book and why you gave it that title. The title came to me a few years ago—Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. In 2015, my husband and I had just married and were just walking into this season of sex within marriage in the confines of a covenant. I was struggling with so much from my past, so much that no one had ever talked to me about. I had struggled with promiscuity, pornography and feeding my flesh. I came to know Jesus and I was so confused. I remember reading an article about a girl who waited to have sex until her wedding night and regretted her decision. It broke my heart. Even though I was confused, I still recognize the beauty within marriage. I was still figuring a lot out, but I knew sex was a gift from God. I needed to find healing and wholeness in my own life and marriage. I knew someone should reclaim sex for the glory of God and I finally realized I should. The title and all that I wanted to share just hit me one day in my kitchen. I never would’ve imagined the felt need it would hit when it released. So many people, across the board, have so many questions and are figuring it out. If we want to see a shift in our culture, we have to have wholeness in our own hearts first. What sexual baggage did you brought into marriage? We live in a culture in the church where we’re supposed to deny, deny, deny sex during singleness and then we’re supposed to stand at the alter and flip a switch. When you get married, now sex is amazing and totally permissible. It’s confusing if we don’t understand what sex is and why it matters. I was raised in a Christian home and the church had a lot to say about the rule following behavior modification. But I didn’t know heart transformation so I pushed the envelope as far as I could. I rationalized and waived a banner of virginity, but didn’t know anything of purity. When I was younger, I came across some of my dad’s pornography and it seared something in me. I developed a decade long struggle and many women in the church are struggling with it. I lost my dad unexpectedly to suicide and tried to fill that void in college with physicality. I gave so much of myself away trying to get a man’s heart. Sophomore year of college I came to know Jesus and it completely transformed my life and heart. God immediately started a transformation for me in this area and I started an ‘intimacy fast’. I called it ‘kissless till next Christmas’. I knew I needed healing and this went on for two years. The next man I met was Jeremiah and we moved through our dating relationship with a reframed understanding, but we still struggled. We came to such a point of conviction to either flee or marry. We prayed about it separately and God gave us the same word of coming together in marriage. We stood at the altar and were able to stand there with great conviction about why we were marrying. We both had pasts that we hoped we could brush under the rug. Right at the start of marriage, all this stuff came crashing down. My sister-in-law shared this quote with me about how before marriage, the enemy will do what he can to bring us together, and after marriage, he’ll do what he can to keep us apart. His goal is to divide us. We have to process, seek forgiveness, break off connections we had with people and fight for our marriage. How is this less about behavior modification and more about heart transformation? When we’re waiving this banner of virginity for the sake of virginity, it’s a works-based answer to a life-surrender question. God is asking for all of our minds, all of our hearts and we’re like “what if I give you some semi-good behavior? But God is calling us to this greater heart condition of purity. Then virginity becomes a beautiful by-product. People are trying to modify their behavior but they’re not encountering true heart transformation. What do you suggest to other people who have baggage in their marriage? In the newlywed bed, especially, the enemy shames us into silence, confusion, and shame. This is where the gospel becomes practical. We have the strength and ability to break the chains of the shame and move through into healing. Whether you’re 30 years in or three weeks in, there’s beauty in coming to the person we’re in covenant with and having the conversation. It takes grace on both sides because processing through sexual stuff is scary. For my husband and myself, it’s a regular check in about what’s going on and there’s amazing freedom that comes from that vulnerability. What about the person who has tried to talk to their spouse and they don’t want to talk about it? The first place you can go is to talk to God about it. Prayer on behalf of our spouse is the best thing we can bring into the marriage covenant. Finding an accountability or prayer partner can also be really helpful. But navigating that in a careful way is important—not just gossiping about your marriage to someone. But having this person to carry our burdens can be really beneficial. And sometimes that can be a counselor. We can look at two stories to see who Jesus is in light of our sin—the woman at the well, who is a whore by all accounts. Jesus is at the well when she comes to draw water and he brings up all her sin and past. But in the face of her filth, he stays. And he offers her redemption and then sends her back to evangelize. Then with the adulteress to be stoned. Jesus says those without sin can cast the first stone. He stands with her and doesn’t cast a stone. This is who God is in response to our sexual sin. Sex is a unifying gift, a weapon against the enemy trying to divide us. There is power in healthy sexuality in marriage, and it’s worth it to work through the baggage. Talk a little bit about pornography, what it does, how to protect ourselves, and how to get healing. It’s important to remember that no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. Porn is a silent struggle and we are silenced by shame. This is an issue gripping the vast majority of people. I say that because it helps to understand how pervasively this has infiltrated our culture. The average school aged kid is exposed at nine years old; I was exposed at age eight. Porn is such a universal issue because it’s so accessible and is deeply dehumanizing us. One in five mobile searches is for porn. We are turning to quick fixes that sees other humans as body parts made for our pleasure instead of image bearing creations of God. It sickens and infects us and we become addicted to it. We have to stop rationalizing and see it as an all or nothing. When I first came to Christ, my prayer was “break my heart for what breaks yours, give me eyes to see the world as you do and make me more like you.” If we start praying that, we can’t see porn the same. There are some practical ways to help too—software like Covenant Eyes that will guard your devices. We have to practice some discernment about what we set before our eyes. Your one simple thing for this week: Start praying: “Create in me a clean heart, God.” Show Closing Thanks for joining us for the MarriedPeople Podcast.

My guest for The Happy Hour # 192 is Mo Isom. Mo is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, blogger, and former All-American goalkeeper for the Louisiana State University soccer team. Mo has been featured in Sports Illustrated, appeared on ESPN SportsCenter Top-10 Plays, Ellen, ESPN, CBS, The 700 Club, and countless other platforms. She, her husband, Jeremiah Aiken, and their two children live in Atlanta, Georgia. When I received Mo's new book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot, I wasn't sure what to expect. But you guys, I loved this book and the message she brings. A little note about the show today - we discuss the issues of sex and pornography so mommas, you may first want to take a listen to the show on your own. Mo and I dive right into the hard stuff and start talking about sexual sin. In Mo's book she discusses her past and struggle with sexual sin. At 19, she felt Jesus calling her to an intimacy fast. Mo describes how the fast reset her heart, but also when she started dating again (her future husband!), she saw how quickly the temptations could set back in and we must continually fight against our sins. We then discuss the problems of pornography and the truth that so many women are silently struggling with this addiction. Mo describes the problem so well when she says, "it fulfills our instant urge, our instant want, but it never satisfies." Mo and I both get fired up talking about having this conversation with our children. We both believe so strongly in the importance of heart transformation and relationship so we can be ready when the world throws out all its "false sexpectations". I could have talked with Mo for hours and I know you're going to love our conversation too! {You can listen to the show HERE. And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends.

**This conversation is recommended for mature audiences only** Mo Isom speaks openly and candidly about her sexual testimony and what her life looked like when she neglected to ask the question of why God calls His children to live a life of purity.

We must begin by knowing what God calls us to and why He calls us to it so that we don't even give the enemy a foothold from the start. The purity God calls us to is really a heart purity. We can get lost in serving ourselves. We need to get uncomfortable for the sake of our own lives. Eternity is at stake and yet we are often worried for a five-minute conversation. Sin will win out every single time if we are not careful. Sex (in marriage) is not just to serve ourselves, it is laying our lives down in service of another. Sex (in marriage) is a powerful weapon against the enemy. Journal and Reflection Page Journal and Reflection Page - Mo Isom
How could the Church loose sight of the only Gospel Jesus preached... can we find it in the Old Testament?
Mo Isom joins me on the podcast today to talk about her soon-to-be-released book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot". We are living in both a cultural and church climate that have all but forgotten the design, meaning, purpose, and importance of sex as created by God. The church treats sex as a largely taboo topic (or else as something solely for the purpose of "meeting a husband's needs"), while the culture treats it in such a cheap, even abusive manner that folks are daily reaping the ramifications of having used sex in a way never intended by God. It's time that we finally come to a full understanding of what sex truly is, and Mo is providing us with that and more on the show today. What we Chat about in This Episode ~Mo's new book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot - what it's about, Mo's inspiration for writing it, and more ~Mo's testimony of her journey through pornography, sexual sin and promiscuity, and finally how she came to Jesus ~The ways in which we have idolized and perverted God's design for sex ~The power of sex and the importance of getting to the heart of the matter when discussing it in the church ~How sexual sin oftentimes stems from ignorance about the true meaning and purpose of sex ~The church's silence on sex versus God's practice of addressing it in the very first chapter of the Bible ~How viewing sex as being all about merely "meeting your husband's needs" misses the mark ~The shamefulness of Fifty Shades of Grey ~Advice for how and when to teach your children about sex, pornography, and other related issues ~The importance of talking to your children about sex as early as you can ~How the church's admonition of "Don't have sex until you're married!!" is an incomplete narrative which oftentimes leads to feelings of guilt when you're finally able to cultivate intimacy in marriage ~Sex in marriage as being a weapon against the enemy ~The differentiation to make between the idol of virginity and God's call to purity as a whole ~Encouagement and hope for the woman with sexual sin in her past or present ~And more!
