If you're a Christian, or if you've ever been impacted by Christianity in any way, this episode should be next on your list. Dr. Kevin Jenson believes that it's possible for Christians to have amazing, sacred sex - and that these experiences are also supported by the bible. Kind of mind blowing stuff... 🔴 🎥 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube. Some topics we cover: Is sex sinful?Is masturbation sinful?What about sex before marriage? Is that a sin?Can sex be sacred as a Christian?What does sacred sex mean from a Christian perspective?What does the bible say about masturbation?What does the bible say about sex before marriage?What does the bible say about sex in general? Join Dr. Kevin Jenson and I to explore the cultural divide between sex and spirituality, while examining Christianity, epistemology, and ancient texts, to create an entirely new perspective of healthy sexuality that's possible for Christians - without losing their faith. Kevin Jenson is a distinguished author and scholar, who shares insights from his life path, bridging the gap between his Christian faith and sexual desires.  And for the record, I don't see myself as a Christian... though as I write this on Christmas Eve, I'm about to head into a church service with my family. I grew up in a Christian household, and was heavily influenced by this faith. That's why I thought it'd be interesting to do this episode. I've also worked with a LOT of Christian men, who want to have great sex and NOT let go of their faith. I want to support them in their desires for that, and so whatever positive content I can create to help these men and their partners, the better.
