#006 Darrel Ray: Sex and God (How Religion Distorts Sexuality)

What is the impact of religion on human sexuality? You see, growing up in the church, I was told all the dos and don'ts of sexuality for "Bible-believing" Christians. Yet, ironically, some of the preachers I'd listen to would contradict one another when it came to "how far" one can go sexually, both before and after marriage. And some would even commit the very "sins" they'd passionately condemn at the pulpit. Why was there so much hypocrisy going on in the church? And why were so many of my [natural] sexual desires considered "sinful" in the eyes of God? In this episode, I have an honest chat with psychologist and author, Dr. Darrel Ray. And let me tell ya, we don't shy away from any topics here. So put your kids to sleep (if you have any) ... and let's talk about sex, baby.

IN THIS EPISODE, DARREL ANSWERED THE FOLLOWING:

• Why are so many people afraid to talk about sex? • How has religion shaped our culture and sexual development? • How is religion often an excuse for bad behavior? • What's the difference between guilt and shame? • Why do even non-religious people struggle with guilt and shame when it comes to sexuality? • Talk about masturbation for a bit. Are there any benefits to it? • What are some ways parents can address the topic of sex to their kids? • What have you discovered in your research about porn and porn addiction? • What would you tell someone who's struggling with shame right now?

Being the Church (Organic Church)

Being the Church (Organic Church)

Are you tired of "going" to church? Sick of superficial, ministry-based-only friendships? Bored of passively listening to sermons at a service? How does the New Testament describe the body of Christ? Let this audio be a challenge and encouragement to those who attend institutional churches. Are you looking for something more? I have been accused of being against the church. That is simply not true. Listen to what it means to BE THE CHURCH.

Will the Real Gospel Please Stand Up?

Will the Real Gospel Please Stand Up?

What is the real Gospel? Sadly, the Gospel today is no longer GOOD NEWS. In many ways, the "good news" being preached today is really BAD NEWS. Many ministers today are preaching an angry, violent, and judgmental God where GOOD NEWS has lost it's meaning. The gospel of grace has turned into a gospel of performance. The God of peace has turned into a God of violence and hatred. And the God of unconditional love has turned into a God of "I love you IF..." This sermon will create a huge paradigm shift for many people. Some will get upset, while others will be liberated. Please listen to the entire message (6 parts) in order to get the full context of what Joshua is saying. Here are the things that will be covered in the message: -What is not the Gospel -A challenge to penal substitutionary theory -What (or Who) is the Gospel? -Adoption -Identification -Who is born again? -Why did Jesus come and die? -Jesus is greater than Adam -"Receiving" Christ -Saved by whose faith? -Biblical repentance -Why preach the Gospel?
