0:00.0	If I look at the overarching story, the God story, what seems to be really prevalent to me
0:07.5	is how scandalously and provocatively God is for women.
0:13.9	In a time and in a culture where women couldn't vote, where most women weren't even taught
0:18.8	how to read, where women were possessions
0:21.5	owned by their fathers and then their husbands, Jesus spoke directly to women.
0:28.7	Jesus had women sit at their feet and was developing them to become leaders, and women
0:33.6	helped fund the ministry of Jesus.
0:36.2	We see women like Lydia in the New Testament, who was a
0:41.0	business owner and helped fund the early church. We see Queen Esther in the Old Testament use her

2:02.6	City. And it's all about her journey and her personal story in terms of the topic of sex. And,
2:10.9	you know, waiting until marriage, not waiting until marriage, what do you do? There's obviously a
2:14.9	lot of societal pressures. And, you know, let's be honest, sex, for those of you out there who have had it, is a lot of societal pressures and, you know, let's be honest,
2:18.2	sex, uh, for those of you out there who have had it is a lot of fun. And so, you know,
2:22.9	what does that look like within the context of your own personal spirituality and, you know,
