We have moved into the space where sexual and romantic fulfillment has become the thing that we worship.

The misinformation that I was placing all on God is actually true about his enemy, not about him.

We know that Jesus isn't the kind of guy who would support parents disinheriting their

children for coming out as gay. We know that Jesus isn't the kind of person who holds up a sign

that says God hates faggots. We don't know within the church that the gospel is good news for our

bodies. It's not just good news for our souls. Every sexual issue is also a spiritual

issue. When sex becomes confusing, God becomes confusing. Well, hey there, this is Job with Julie.

I'm Julie Slattery and welcome to our special series Making Sense of God and Sex.

Throughout the month of February, we're talking about how our view of God is so deeply foundational to the choices that we make regarding sexuality.

My conversation today is with someone who is no stranger to these kinds of topics, Sam Albury. Sam is a pastor,

apologist, author, and speaker. He's written a number of excellent books, including what God

has to say about our bodies, is God anti-gay, and seven myths about singleness. Sam and I are going to be

talking about how we can reconcile the goodness

of our bodies, which are created by God and he called them good, with the shame and pain that

we often feel about the ways we've misused them or the ways they've been misused by others.

You know, our bodies have spiritual significance, but they're still part of this fallen world

and won't be made perfect until we get to heaven.

Thankfully, the Christian worldview can help us understand and hold these two realities

together.

And what's more, as Christians, we have an opportunity to compassionately share the gospel

and biblical truth with people who are struggling in their bodies.
