Questions answered this episode:
- After divorcing my husband over his unhealed pornography addiction, my sons now stay with him and his civil wife. I’m seeking guidance on how to protect and mentor them spiritually amid confusing messages from their father.
- If God made us sexual and romantic in His image, and intimacy reflects the Trinity, why do you say God is not sexual?
