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.

Hey there, this is Julie Slattery, and you're listening to Java Java with Julie and you've joined me for a special

series that we've entitled Making Sense of God and Sex. Throughout the month of February,

we're talking about how our experience with sexuality directly impacts the way we see God.

My conversation today is with Lou Phillips. Lou is a gifted apologist and speaker, and I really get energized when I talk to

them because I'm reminded of how God is raising up a new generation of men and women to take

the gospel to our hurting world.

On today's episode, Lou and I are going to talk about how to reconcile the pain of sexual

brokenness and abuse with faith and a loving God, the important role that sexuality

and justice have in shaping this generation's thought on God, and also the value and abundance

found in the single Christian life.
