Welcome to the Leadership Now podcast with Dr. Aaron Rock, hosted on Beachhead Media.

Aaron has served as a pastor, a professor, a chaplain, a writer, and a speaker,

and he has a keen interest in helping other Christians to think Christianly about all of life.

On this show, we like to talk about the nuts and bolts of theology, church life,

leadership, epics, and other relevant matters that will help you to lead better now.

My name is Eric Oltrop. I'm your host as per usual.

And we are in our final episode of our Sex 101 series.

So this is going to cap off our series.

And this episode is all about good news for victims of sexual sin.

More people have been traumatized by sexual violence,

sexual abuse, coercion more likely than we'll ever know personally.

And fortunately, the good news of the gospel offers a lot of hope to those,

to those people. So Aaron, what do we say to those who feel guilty that have had those sins

committed against them? Well, let's go to the Word of God just to kind of couch our remarks

in Scripture. And I wanted to start off just by, without even too many preliminary comments, just reading a section from Romans chapter 8, which helps to remind us of how God views us and what God has accomplished for us.

And this is going to form the foundation for everything else.

I want to discuss in this show.

So Romans chapter 8, let me just read a few verses here,

beginning with verse 31.

What then shall we say to these things,

if God is for us, who can be against us?

He did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all.
