S3: How Do I Have Strong Physical Boundaries + Resist Masturbation? with John Mark Comer Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

John Mark Comer talks about how to have strong physical boundaries, where to draw the line and discusses if and when christians should resist masturbation.

Today, Kait sit’s down with John Mark Comer and they just GO there. On sex. Boundaries. The theology of love. The myth of the soulmate. And of course, masturbation. One question too far? We think not! John Mark has incredible things to say about all of the above and this is NOT an episode you’re going to want to miss.

Though this is one of our favorite interviews to date, we apologize in advance that at times our audio got a bit spotty. Forgive us BUT the content and John Mark’s wisdom is SO worth the listen.

John Mark lives, works, and writes in the urban center of Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Tammy, and their three children, Jude, Moses, and Sunday. He is the brilliant pastor for teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church… and boy does he do an incredible job. Prior to planting Bridgetown, John Mark was the lead pastor of a suburban megachurch. And even before that, he played in a band! He is a man of many talents that’s for sure. John Mark has a master’s degree in biblical and theological studies from Western Seminary and is the author of Garden City, Loveology God Has a Name, and My Name is Hope.

Show notes

Matt talks all things first date and how you should act, plan... and everything else that has to do with the practicality of going our and meeting someone for the first time.

Kait brings in her hilarious friend Matt jones to talk about the struggle of being in a dating rut and some fun date ideas to help combat the dry spell! Matt, a self-declared ”fun” guy, says that a lot of dating nowadays – especially among Christians – isn’t FUN anymore. It’s almost like we’re too serious sometimes and don’t even know how to let loose and get to know someone in a way that isn’t sitting across a table, interview style.
