Episode 27 (Season 2) Deep Light - Sex: God's Gift (Season 2 - Episode 27)
Wednesday, November 9, 2022
About the Episode:
Join us for a series on sexuality, God’s design and vision for sex for both married couples and single people, and the richness of experiencing oneness with God. Sex is one of God’s special gifts for how we can really know and understand God’s love for us. This episode provides an opportunity to hear from Dr. Gary Barnes, a psychologist, ordained minister, and professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, about sacred sexuality, spiritual warfare around God’s gift of sex, and the fig leaves we metaphorically cover ourselves with today. When it comes to sex, that’s where we are most bare naked, and self-protection becomes a very powerful negative response. Oftentimes, we try to make sex accomplish things that God didn’t have in mind for sex and try to meet legitimate needs that are not sexual, sexually.
