[00:00:02]Hi, this is John.
[00:00:03]And today on the podcast, before we get started, we want to give parents a heads up that we are going to be talking about something that you may not have had conversations with your children yet, so you may
[00:00:13]want to use this opportunity to listen to the podcast before you do.
[00:00:17]We do know that several families listen to Theocast, and we're thankful for that.
[00:00:22]Today, Justin and I are going to be covering weakness, sexuality, and the gospel, and how often our culture is trying to press upon us that if we hold any other position but their position is barbaric.
[00:00:36]And how is it that we can come in using the gospel and present something that is refreshing and leads people out of bondage back into joy in Christ.
[00:00:45]And in our members' podcast, Justin pulls out a very interesting proverb where we are warned that if we engage in sexual deviancy, that we can carry around that shame?
[00:00:56]How do we understand that from a covenantal reform perspective?
[00:00:59]And also, how the church has failed in explaining God's purpose for sexuality.
[00:01:05]We hope you enjoy.
