Most people get some form of the message: “sex is bad and shameful” or “you just need to save it for love.” However, the reality is that our God has created us to be sexual beings; And that God has also given us clear, counter-cultural instructions on how to best engage sex. So, in a hookup culture full of swiping left and right—and not to mention a culture where it’s seen as irresponsible to get married before living together—how do we honor the fact that God has made us sexual while engaging sex in the correct way? Join the conversation to find out what we think.
