Summary

Desire is not the problem. God gave us (not just married couples) desire. It’s how we choose to honor God with this desire that makes all the difference. Today, we talked to Dr. Curt Thompson, MD and he shared some really interesting and profound insights into desire. It was a deep conversation where he really weaved together an understanding of interpersonal neurobiology & a Christian, biblical worldview of what it means to be human. You want to hear this one!
