Roundtable: A Sexual Purity Reset (Part 1)
Do you sometimes feel you’re the last Christian on earth who hasn’t had sex? Or you think God has bigger things to worry about than your sex life, so a little compromise here or there is no big deal. Maybe you’ve caved to sexual sin and are wondering if you’re a Christian at all. If any of these scenarios describe you, you’re not alone. God is pretty clear about His sexual standards and design, so why is it so hard to obey them? And in today’s culture, why should we? In part one of this no-holds-barred conversation, our guests open up about their sexual histories, grapple with the truths of God’s Word (even the tough parts), look forward with renewed hope, and cast a vision for finding both strength and grace in God’s forward-focused and for-our-good design for sex.
Culture: Fighting Temptation and Finding Rest
We’re in a spiritual war against the world, our own sinful desires, and even Satan himself. We need to fight temptation, worthless pursuits, discouragement and adversity on every side. As fighters, our need for rest can be just as important as how we handle the battle — but where and when do we find this rest? Pastor Ben Stuart is passionate about helping young adults find intimacy with God through ancient rhythms and practices. He knows we can reject the enemy’s lies and embrace our true identity in Christ. Pushing through the struggle we are then afforded rest at the often unexpected pastures and streams that God provides. This discussion will help you start the journey.

| 0:12.5 | All right, friends, welcome to this week's episode of the Boundless Show. |
| 0:15.9 | This is Lisa Anderson here with you. |
| 0:18.5 | Surprise, surprise. |
| 0:19.6 | Hey, it's usually me. |
| 0:23.3 | But I always love to give you a little preview of what is coming up later on in the show, and I will do that here as well. So for our |
| 0:28.6 | inbox, we have someone who is wondering, what are some practical ways to navigate your final year |
| 0:34.4 | of college? Oh, my word, I wish this would have been answered when I was in school |
| 0:38.5 | because I entered a wasteland afterwards. So fortunately, one of our experts is going to address that. |
| 0:45.4 | And then for our culture segment, Ben Stewart is back here at The Boundless Show. He's a pastor in the |
| 0:50.2 | Washington, D.C. area and the author of several books. This week, we're going to talk about |
| 0:55.2 | his book, Rest and War, where we will address the topic of fighting sin and temptation in |
| 1:01.0 | particular. And actually, next week, he's going to be back because we're going to talk to him |
| 1:05.5 | about his book, Single Dating, Engaged, Married. We've talked about that book in the past, but he has |
| 1:12.0 | expanded it to include breakups. And we will also talk about engagement a little bit as well and |
| 1:19.0 | moving into that. So here we are for our roundtable. And this is a segment that we have put |
| 1:25.0 | some significant prayer behind because we started having a conversation |
| 1:29.6 | around doing this topic probably a couple months ago. I have Bree here at the table with me. |
| 1:35.1 | She's going to be part of this roundtable. Also joining us, Trevor, her husband. Hey, Trevor. Welcome |
| 1:40.3 | back. Good to have you back. And our friend Jeff Wilson is back. Hey, Jeff. Good to have you back. Awesome. So we're going to have a conversation around sexual integrity. Some people like to call it sexual purity. We get into weird verbiage when we talk about this because a lot of people have some baggage around the purity movement from the 90s and the early 2000s. |
| 2:03.1 | But Bree, talk a little bit about how you even brought this topic up to me, because we really were just kind of shooting the breeze and talking about show topics. |
| 2:11.0 | Yeah, exactly. |
