4 Popular Lies About Your Sexual Identity Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

Ep. 034 - Sex and sexuality are two of the hottest topics in society right now. With so many voices expressing opinions, it can be confusing to know what's truth and what's not. What did God actually say about our sexuality in comparison to what we're seeing happen in our society? If we, as Christian women, are not vigilant to discern lies from truths, we will will end up listening to whichever voice is shouting the loudest.
When we choose to embrace anything but God's good and original design for our sexuality, we buy into an inaccurate reflection of who God created us to be. That's why we're going to unpack 4 of the most popular lies permeating our society today.
