Summary
Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you equipping with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body.
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25
When you think about the parable of the talents your mind instantly gravitates toward stewarding your finances, your gifts, or even your health. But, have you ever thought about the faithfulness that might flow from stewarding your sexuality?
We get to steward the gift of our sexuality, with purpose and intention over the course of our life. And, faithfulness brings great benefits,including the unity that leads to fruitfulness within the context of marriage. Sex is not a duty, not a chore, not something to check off your list. It is something to enjoy, to pursue, to delight and to receive great pleasure.
Let’s learn a fresh viewpoint on stewardship and experience the joy of our Master.

| 0:08.9 | and equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring, and practicals to help you see the goodness |
| 0:15.5 | of God in your bedroom and your body. |
| 0:18.5 | Summer gives us longer, more unstructured days, and I hope that the time you spend |
| 0:22.6 | with this curated series will inspire you, equip you, and meet you right where you are in your |
| 0:28.5 | journey this summer and beyond. Let's dive in. Welcome back. I'm so honored that you would join me |
| 0:35.5 | today. We are going to take another step into |
| 0:38.7 | understanding what it means to steward our sexuality. Today is going to get really personal, |
| 0:43.4 | really intimate on the heart level because as we started last week looking at the parable of the |
| 0:50.4 | stewards and the talents in Matthew 25, we saw some pretty huge things happening. |
| 0:57.3 | If you haven't listened to that podcast, it might be a big deal to listen to it. |
| 1:02.7 | I'm just saying not because of my wisdom, but because of God's wisdom and his rescue plan |
| 1:08.6 | for our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our sexuality. |
| 1:12.6 | He has goodness for us in this arena, but the enemy of our souls wants to steal, kill, |

| 1:23.9 | And so if you haven't listened to that one, I really encourage you to go back and listen to the previous podcast on a whole new way to think about your sexuality because it will put some context and some big vision to this podcast today where we're going a little bit deeper and more onto the heart level of things. |
| 1:48.0 | Let's pray. Father, thank you for our good bodies. Thank you that you are a kind and merciful God, that you are a loving creator, that you are |
| 1:54.2 | a good father and that you comfort us like a mother and that in all of your goodness and your kindness and your mercy you extended us |
| 2:03.9 | the chance and the opportunity and the invitation to be reconciled back to you our sin and our shame and our brokenness has separated us but you call us holy in Christ and if we come to you through Christ we have the invitation to be |

| 2:28.5 | that invitation today do a healing work in us Lord so that we can be a part of your good work on the earth, extending |
