What does the Seventh Commandment actually teach about sex, marriage, faithfulness, and God's design? In Week 7 of our STONE series, Pastor CJ Ward unpacks Exodus 20:14 and explores why God's boundaries around sexuality exist—not to restrict us, but to protect something valuable.

Sexual immorality is nothing new in a post-fall world. The culture of the Thessalonians had major issues in this area just as our world does today. Paul makes it clear that one of the distinguishing marks of a Christian should be "that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God."

Zach Mabry | Be Strong Breakout SessionIn this session, Zach speaks plainly about sexual sin and how the Bible treats it. Looking at passages like 1 Corinthians 6 and Matthew 5, he'll connect the heart behind these struggles with their real-life consequences. This isn't about guilt or assuming nothing will ever change; it's about turning from sin and believing real freedom is possible. We end with practical ways to take ownership, build better habits, and pursue a life shaped by Christ.Be Strong Men's ConferencePlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.

In this episode of the The Mission Matters Podcast, Matthew Ellison and Ted Esler sit down with Dennis Martin (of One Challenge's Sexual Wholeness Initiative) to address a largely unspoken issue in global missions: sexual sin/brokenness. Drawing from both personal experience and global research, Dennis explains how silence, shame, and isolation have allowed struggles like pornography, abuse, and other sexual challenges to persist among missionaries. He highlights that these issues are far more widespread than many assume, often intensified by the pressures of cross-cultural ministry and lack of safe, honest community. The conversation points toward a different path forward—one centered on grace, honesty, and restoration rather than punishment. Dennis shares how mission agencies are beginning to shift their culture by creating safe environments, equipping leaders, and walking alongside individuals through long-term healing processes. Through practical examples and real stories, he emphasizes that freedom is possible when people are no longer alone. The episode challenges churches and mission leaders to break the silence, rethink their approach, and build communities where confession leads to healing, not exit.OC's Sexual Wholeness Initiative (SWI), spearheaded by Dennis Martin, seeks to change the culture of silence and shame and, by bringing these secret struggles to light, offer freedom and restoration to those whose lives have been shackled by sin. By equipping our staff to create a climate of openness, safety, and redemption and integrating sexual wholeness into our ministry efforts, OC envisions a future in which generations of laborers live and minister out of sexual wholeness and relational health in Christ.The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians.

Shame has a way of convincing us to hide. But Jesus doesn't turn away from your shame. He steps toward it. This week, Juli sits down with Dr. Carol Tanksley and Allie Mazur to shed light on the often unspoken reality of living with an STI. Together, they unpack the weight of shame, the fear of rejection, and the questions that can follow a diagnosis like herpes. You'll be reminded that while consequences of sin may linger, they don't have the final word. Jesus meets us right in the middle of our brokenness, offering freedom, healing, and hope. If you've ever felt like your story is "too much" or "too broken," this conversation is for you.

How do you respond when people walk away from faith? What do you do with hypocrisy in the church? And why does sexual sin seem to carry such deep consequences? In this episode of Talk'N Truth, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), Pastor Bryan Clark, and guest Braden Pedersen take on some of the toughest and most personal questions listeners are asking.The conversation begins with the reality that many people have been hurt by Christian leaders—sometimes deeply—and have walked away from faith because of it. The group wrestles with how to respond to that pain with honesty, compassion, and truth, while keeping the focus where it belongs: not on imperfect people, but on Jesus.The episode also moves into deeper territory, addressing questions about sexual sin—why it matters, why it's so powerful, and why it can be so damaging. If you've ever struggled with church hurt, wrestled with temptation, or wondered how to live out your faith authentically in a complicated world, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a reminder to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.Perfect for viewers interested in:Bible questions answered, church hurt and faith, hypocrisy in Christianity, sexual sin and temptation, Christian living, accountability, faith in real life, and practical discipleship.#BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #TalkNTruth #LarryTheCableGuy #BryanClark #BradenPedersen #ChristianLiving #ChurchHurt #FaithQuestions #BackToTheBible

Warning! This episode is not suitable for children! Mature Audience Only Ever since I was old enough to read the bible and understand it, I have come across the words “Fornication” and “Adultery” but did not know there was a difference. The two are closely related but they each mean something different. Most translations will use the words “sexual immorality” instead of “Fornication”. In the church at Corinth, a young man was committing sexual immorality with his stepmom! Yeah! He was having sex with his dad's wife! And the bad thing was, the church was tolerating the sin and ignoring it! Paul says, “This can't be happening and you need to deal with it immediately!”

Gene Landers leads a support group for men who want healing and recovery from porn and sexual sin in Phoenix, Arizona. Jacob Frantz has been attending Gene’s group for the past 6 months. In this second of two broadcasts we continue the discussion, beginning when Jacob had stated he believed he was a strong Christian when he initially began participating in Gene’s group – and Gene’s response. They discuss the key points of what has helped in them in their journey, and Gene shares the spiritual warfare he goes through in leading a men’s group in this arena.
Lust isn't just a “guy problem.” But for so many Christian women, it feels like one of the most isolating struggles — full of shame, silence, and secret questions about desire and faith.In this honest conversation, we're sitting down with Michelle Rojas to talk about the unspoken battle many women face: navigating lust, temptation, and longing as followers of Jesus. We unpack how shame loses its grip when we bring our struggles into the light, and how God's grace can meet us right in the middle of our weakness.If you've ever wondered “Can I love Jesus and still wrestle with this?” this episode is for you.You're not broken. You're not the only one.

Sexual sin rarely begins with a sudden fall—it develops subtly and progressively. In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, we examine why sexual sin must be addressed biblically and how it often follows a predictable spiral: desensitization, relaxation, fixation, rationalization, and degeneration.The episode concludes with practical, gospel-centered application aimed at repentance, accountability, and pursuing holiness. While sexual sin is deceptive and destructive, Christ offers forgiveness, cleansing, and true freedom.00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast01:21 The Importance of Discussing Sexual Sin02:26 Why Sexual Sin is Often Avoided in Conversation03:35 The Deceptive Nature of Sexual Sin 05:15 The Sexual Sin Spiral: An Overview06:10 Stage 1: Desensitization 12:50 Stage 2: Relaxation and Idleness16:43 Stage 3: Fixation 20:20 Stage 4: Rationalization23:23 Stage 5: Degeneration26:24 Hope and Forgiveness for Those in the Spiral 29:03 Practical Steps for Repentance and AccountabilitySound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.

In verses 7-8 of chapter 4, Paul continues his emphasis on sanctification and his stern warning about sexual sin. He notes that to disobey in this area is to sin against God, “who gives his Holy Spirit to you.”
In verses 3-6 of chapter 4, the apostle Paul addresses sanctification – the process by which God makes a believer increasingly holy. Paul strongly warns against sexual sin, and notes that the Lord is “an avenger” in cases of adultery.

Sexual sin among worship leaders and Christian men isn't proof that faith doesn't work — it's proof that isolation does. In this episode, Sathiya Sam explains how pressure, access, and identity distortion create secrecy, even in devoted leaders. Drawing from personal experience, he shows why spiritual activity alone can't heal unaddressed wounds and why honest brotherhood, rooted identity, and accountability are essential for lasting freedom.
Try before you buy? No. An important part of becoming one in marriage is the process of learning one another with each other. Relationships (and sex) take curiosity and communication, and the Perrys talk about how there's joy in figuring things out together. Our bodies matter to God. There's protection in His design for sex to be experienced within the covenant of marriage, and God is grieved any time we give our bodies away. A conversation like this can feel condemning, but God is merciful to restore our purity, remove memories of past intimacy, and help us point others to the hope of the Gospel too.

What happens when you finally stop pretending you want freedom, and actually tell God the truth?In this deeply honest conversation, Ben Fitzgerald shares his story of struggling with pornography while walking in ministry, the moment God confronted what he was still keeping as an option, and how real freedom finally came when everything was brought into the light.Ben opens up about the tension of being anointed but still broken, the night he told God, “I want this, but I do not want to want it,” and why honesty from spiritual leadership played a crucial role in his deliverance. He also shares how Bethel leadership refused to let him step into pastoral leadership while he was secretly battling pornography and how that loving but firm boundary became part of his healing.We'll talk about:What it actually looks like when God rescues someone from addictionWhy wanting freedom and being free are not the same thingThe moment Ben realized pornography was still an option in his heartHow honest accountability broke the power of secret sinWhy spiritual compromise dulls our sensitivity to GodWhat the fear of the Lord really looks like in a believer's lifeWhat to say to someone who feels spiritually numb or stuckWhy fighting sexual sin alone never worksIf you feel trapped in a private battle, tired of starting over, or afraid that your sin disqualifies you from God's calling, this episode is for you. Ben's story is proof that freedom is possible, but it requires truth, surrender, and courage.

The Amputation of Sexual Sin - Matthew 5:27-30
When pastors fall into sexual sin, adultery, or moral failure, the impact on churches, families, and individual believers can be devastating. In this episode of Redeeming Truth from Redeemer Bible Church, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with our pastors and biblical counselors to speak honestly about fallen pastors, pastoral disqualification, and how Christians can process betrayal while rebuilding trust in Christ—not in men. Drawing from real-life stories of hidden sin, long-term affairs, and leaders disqualified from ministry, this conversation addresses: Why sound theology—even Reformed doctrine—alone cannot keep a pastor from falling How discontentment, lust, pride, and heart-level idolatry fuel secret sin The ripple effects of pastoral failure on marriages, children, congregations, and communities Why pastors are "but men" who need accountability, prayer, and close fellowship How believers can grieve rightly while keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus You'll also hear: A sobering account of a large church shattered by a long-hidden affair Counseling insights on trust, trauma, disillusionment, and church discipline Biblical warnings from Luke 4:13; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1; Romans 13, and more Why discontentment often becomes the gateway sin to adultery and moral failure Howard Hendricks' findings from thousands of fallen pastors—and what they all had stopped doing If you've been hurt by a fallen pastor, fear it could happen where you worship, or are a pastor who wants to finish well, this episode offers sober warning, biblical clarity, and gospel hope.
It's Tuesday, January 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Iran Int'l News reports 36,500 protestors killed by Islamic regime As The Worldview reported yesterday, the latest report of the death count for the recent Iranian protests is now at 36,500, according to Iran International News. (audio of Iranian officials shooting unarmed protestors) This information reportedly comes from Interior Ministry documents. The government carried out 4,000 clashes at various locations around the country over a two-day period earlier in the month. Iran's Health Ministry also revealed that the hospitals in the country performed 13,000 surgeries following the protests. Iran's internet blackout is going into its 19th day today. Iran International also reports that government officials are still carrying out “extrajudicial killings, deaths under torture, and the systematic mistreatment of detainees and their families.” Several of our sources have reported multiple Christians killed in the conflict. Communist Chinese president purged military generals China's President and Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping has completed his purge of military generals, beginning with top brass Zhang Youxia and at least 17 other generals, reports NTDTV.com. The Economist called this “the largest political purge of the military's top ranks since Mao Zedong's death in 1976.” Assaults on ICE officers increased by 1,300% in 2025 over 2024 Public protests are increasing in the United States. Last year, the Crowd Counting Consortium counted 10,700 protests in the U.S. That's a 133% increase over 2024. So far this month, there have been 628 protests, the largest of which have centered in Minnesota, Illinois, and California. Disturbingly, the protests have increased in violence. The Department of Homeland Security recently reported a 1,300% increase in assaults against I.C.E. officers in 2025 (over the previous year), and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks. Rest assured, where human justice may fail, Ecclesiastes 12:14 assures us that “God shall bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.” Shooting death of Minneapolis man sparks gun control debate The January 24th fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by law enforcement has sparked a debate on gun control. Apparently, the protester was armed at the time of his encounter with the I.C.E. agent. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli took to X, commenting that, "If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you." However, the pro-gun group, the National Rifle Association, said, "Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.” Plus, Gun Owners for America noted, "The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting ‒ a right the federal government must not infringe upon." GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Barack Obama weigh in on ICE killing GOP U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky also jumped into the fray. He said, ”Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence; it's a Constitutionally-protected, God-given right. And, if you don't understand this, you have no business in law enforcement or government." No comment from the liberal media on Mr. Pretti's choice to carry a gun to the protest. Then, former President Barack Obama took to X on Sunday to encourage the American public to “support and draw inspiration from” what he calls “the peaceful protests in Minneapolis.” Satan worshippers thank Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Speaking of Minnesota, Republican State Representative Pam Altendorf revealed on video a disturbing display recognizing Satan in the state Capitol. ALTENDORF: “As I was leaving my committee meeting today here earlier, I noticed that there is a new display here at the State Capitol, and it's for Governor [Tim] Walz.” The inscription says, “The Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the state Capitol building.” Rep. Altendorf concluded with this. ALTENDORF: “Yes, everyone, this is true. I am live, not making this up. You can't make this up. (laughs) I don't know why a governor of a state would want this plaque, but there it is. “The Satan worshipers have thanked Governor Tim Walz, and let me repeat this. The last line says, ‘Satan has a special place for you.' I'm speechless.” In Exodus 20:3, God revealed to Moses atop Mt. Sinai, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Charismatic leader accused of “fabricated” prophecies and sexual sin The charismatic church is taking more hits from reports concerning alleged scandalous activities of a homosexual nature. Shawn Bolz was platformed by Bethel over a period of ten years. Bethel leadership now admits to have continued platforming Bolz despite their knowing of his “fabricated” prophecies and alleged sexual sin, reports CBN News. Multiple Christian news organizations have headlined this new revelation in an ongoing series of scandals in the evangelical/charismatic church involving Bill Hybels, Carl Lentz, Mike Bickel, Brian Houston, T.D. Jakes, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart. The deluge of scandals has taken its toll on the nation. Public trust in pastors here is now the lowest in recorded history. According to Lifeway Research, only 27% of Americans say they have a high trust in pastors, down from an average of 56% between 2000 and 2009. Here's a reminder from 1 Corinthians 11:31 and 32. “If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” Gold and silver prices soar Gold and silver prices continue to soar. Now, $5,100 per ounce for gold, up from $2,600 just a year ago, reports Reuters. And silver today is $110 per pounce, up from $30 a year ago. 36 states consider anti-transgender bills And finally, at last count, 36 state governments are floating 366 bills which would put the brakes on the advance of “transgender rights,” limit the public display of drag queens, and allow religious exemptions for churches, schools, and businesses that are morally opposed to homosexuality and transgenderism.

This week Chase Green preaches a sermon on the downward spiral of sexual sins that have been approved of, promoted, and celebrated in our society for far too long. Included in this discussion is the very sobering topic of marriage, divorce, and remarriage. This is not a fun topic, but a needed one if we are going to preach the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27).DescriptionVisit our linktree: https://linktr.ee/scatteredabroadnetworkVisit our website, www.scatteredabroad.org, and subscribe to our email list."Like" and "share" our Facebook page: https:// www.facebook.com/sapodcastnetworkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ the_scattered_abroad_network/Subscribe to our Substack: https://scatteredabroad.substack.com/Subscribe to our YouTube channel: The Scattered Abroad NetworkContact us through email at san@msop.org.

Send us a textGUEST: EMEAL “EZ” Zwayne, author, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal PurityThe Book of Proverbs was written to be profitable to all readers but is particularly directed to young men. One of the prominent exhortations and warnings for sons in Proverbs is on the issue of moral purity. Listen to Proverbs 5:18-23:Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths.His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.God wonderfully designed us with the ability to procreate and to enjoy the one-flesh dynamic of sexual intimacy within the one-man one-woman marriage covenant, all to His glory. But what God beautifully designed is what the devil, the world, and our flesh relentlessly corrupts. God says, “rejoice in the wife of your youth.” Satan says, “Do whatever you want with whomever you want.”And the destruction that results from lust and pornography and fornication and adultery and homosexuality and every other kind of sexual sin are everywhere—bondage to sin, broken marriages, sexually transmitted diseases, and alienation from God. Because of the pull of sexual desire and the ubiquity of sexual sin, it's common to conclude that God's call for sexual purity—mentally and physically—is an impossible standard.In part 2 of this series on personal purity, Emeal Zwayne, president of Living Waters, a ministry which exists “to train the members of Christ's Body in the principles of biblical evangelism” will join us to discuss his excellent book, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity.Fight Like a Man is our new featured resource and we will tell you how you can order a copy today for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.
