When it comes to controversial issues in our culture, sex and identity are at the top of the list. We’re having those conversations at Real Life Church in our series Sex&Theology. And last month on the podcast, we got to hear Becket Cook’s experience (you can take a listen to his episode here)
This month, Sam Allberry, pastor, speaker, and author of several books, including Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With?, joins Leading Simple to work through the theology behind the Christian sexual ethic and how to approach these conversations in real-time with friends, family, and loved ones. I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
