One Flesh

What is sex and what is God's design for it?

This episode is related to the topic sex and sexuality and as a result, may not be suitable for a younger audience.  If your kids are listening to this podcast with you, we suggest you skip it and come back to it when they are not around (hence the explicit rating).

In a world obsessed with sex and pleasure, it's hard to find biblical answers to these questions but the answers ought to be at the heart of every marriage.

In this week's episode, we discuss what the Bible has to say about sex as part of reflecting God as Creator, as well as the union between Christ and His bride, the Church.  With all of the glamor that our culture likes to throw over sex, it really pales in comparison to the incredible reality that God has made the sexual union between a husband and wife to reflect!

We also talk about the challenges that can come in marriage around sex, and how the devil seeks to divide what God has joined together.  The areas of attack and why it is so important for the marriage bed to remain a sacred place, as the author of Hebrews says:

"Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled, for the sexually immoral and adulterers God will judge" Hebrews 13:4, LSB.

We also discuss the physical aspects of sexual union that have been under attack in the last two centuries with the wave of contraceptives. etc. that have resulted in the dehumanization of the act of intercourse.

Join us in this topic of intimacy and all that God has intended the marriage bed for, far beyond just pleasure!
