In this episode Nate and Scott discuss how God has given us all sexual desires, and they are good. But outside God's plan for sex, those desires are a destructive force that leads to sin against the holy God. If we are in Christ Jesus, then God calls us to pursue Holiness. And our sanctification, including our sexual purity, is His will for us.

On this episode of the Blue Collar Bereans, Scott and Nate continue to tackle the good, the bad and the ugly of the Purity Culture. Yet they make it clear that even if there were some issues, that doesn’t mean we throw the whole thing out. We should do nothing to undermine the authority of God’s Word in our lives, which definitely calls us to purity.

Also, our Lord has laid on husbands and fathers, specifically, the responsibility to lead their wives and children. This is a great and awesome responsibility.
