Real Christian Answers To AWKWARD Relationship Questions

Does oral sex count as sex? Can you slap a guy if he gropes you? Why didn’t Jesus ever get married?

In this episode, we answer some of the most awkward, controversial, and honestly fascinating questions Christians secretly wonder about when it comes to sex, relationships, faith, cheating, gaslighting, and marriage.

Nothing is off limits.

Some of these questions made us laugh. Some got very serious very quickly. And some are the kinds of questions most Christians think about but are too nervous to ask out loud.

We’ll talk about:

• What is actually happening when you “get the ick”

• Whether oral sex counts as sex and what the Bible says about sexual boundaries

• What grace really means and why it is not permission to keep sinning

• How to recognize and respond to gaslighting

• How to love someone who believes God hates them because they are gay

• Whether God chooses your spouse and how much weight to give prophetic words

• Whether it is okay to physically defend yourself if someone crosses a boundary

• Why Jesus never got married even though God said it’s not good for man to be alone

• How to know when cheating should lead to divorce versus reconciliation

• Whether you have to take your husband’s last name

This episode is honest, biblical, practical, and definitely not surface level.

If you’ve ever had a question you felt too embarrassed to ask at church, this conversation is for you.

Let’s talk about it 👇

2. Adultery — sex with someone outside of your spouse

• Ex 20:14; Matt 5:27–28; Heb 13:4

3. Polygamy — God designed marriage as one man + one woman; Scripture describes polygamy, it doesn’t prescribe it

• Gen 2:24; Matt 19:4–6; 1 Tim 3:2

4. Rape

• Deut 22:25–27; 2 Sam 13 (Tamar); Rom 13:10

9. Sexual immorality (porneia) — catch-all Greek term — lust of the eyes, lusting after anyone who is not your spouse, pornography

• Matt 5:27–28; 1 Cor 6:18; Gal 5:19; Eph 5:3

10. Pagan sexual activity — sex tied to the worship of false gods or one’s own sexual gratification as an idol

• Ex 34:15–16; Num 25:1–3; 1 Cor 10:7–8; Rev 2:14, 20
