today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

What sex does outside of the context of all the things that God intended it for,

instead of being a blessing, it becomes a curse to you.

It becomes something that destroys your ability to relate and to covenant

and to have a healthy functioning sexual relationship.

And unfortunately, some of you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Yeah. sexual relationship. And unfortunately, some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. Welcome back to Summit Life with J.D. Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitovich.

It is not a Christian book, but it is a scientific study written by a couple of neurologists

who are trying to show scientifically what having multiple sexual partners, especially when

you're young, does to your brain.
