Summary

On this episode of the Journeywomen podcast, Chris Legg, a pastor and professional counselor, lays out a foundation for understanding human sexuality. We discuss everything from metaphysics (don’t worry I didn’t know what that meant either) to helping our children understand their sexuality from a Biblical perspective. As mentioned, Chris is a professional counselor and the lead pastor of South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX. Fundamentally, Chris is a minister and shepherd of people, of which I am one and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to discuss such an important topic with someone as thoughtful, experienced, and wise as Chris Legg. There’s no denying that human sexuality is a sensitive topic. Chris says, “The problem we’re dealing with is an identity question. Let’s get back to the question of, ‘How do you know who you are? How do you know what makes life good? How do you know what makes life valuable? How do you know that you aren’t trash? How do you know that you aren’t meaningless and that your life matters?’ We intuitively know that there is more to life than being sophisticated, eating and pooping machines. In a godless existence that’s all man is… and none of what we do will matter. Something tells us at a deep level that’s really not true.” CHRIS’S RESOURCES Chris Legg’s Website South Spring Baptist Church’s Website William Lane Craig J.P.

with somebody that's as experienced, thoughtful and as wise as Chris Legg. There's no denying

that human sexuality is such a sensitive topic, especially today. Listen to what Chris

had to say. The problem we're dealing with is an identity

question. Let's get back to the question of, how do you know who you are? How do you know

1:13.4

what makes life good? How do you know what makes life valuable? How do you know that you

1:18.7

aren't trash? How do you know that you aren't meaningless that your life has no significance

1:23.7

because we intuitively know. And I believe all humans intuitively know that there's more

to life than just being sophisticated eating and pooping machines. In a godless existence,

1:38.8

that's all man is and none of what we did will matter. And something tells us at a deep

level, that's not true. On a personal level, I found my conversation

with Chris incredibly helpful, yet challenging. It's difficult to openly discuss something

as closely tethered to our identity as our sexuality. This conversation was between two
