In this episode, I read from my new book, Imbalances: The Addict's Guide to Fixing Our Broken Lives, Chapter 7--The Imbalance of Sex, Trust, and Intimacy. My apologies for not uploading a podcast episode last week, folks. I came down with some kind of nasty flu or virus that shifted to one of those horrid head colds. I had recorded my episode, but didn't have the energy or brain power to edit it. I start off by telling you all about my strange Thanksgiving, and then I start this chapter off by telling you a pretty juicy but amusing story about my teenage years when I got my first two jobs.  They were doozies! But the moral of this story is understanding what's imablanced in our lives--especially in society as a whole-- with regard to sex, lust, and intimacy. Do you have the backbone and conviction to be held to a higher standard than what society (AKA "the enemy") deems acceptable?

If you want to learn more about how to have a more godly marriage, here is the link to the audiobook "Sacred Marriage: What if God Designed Marriage to Make Us More Holy Than to Make Us More Happy" by Gary Thomas, as mentioned in this episode.
