Message Recap
The reality is, we all desire intimacy. And while that desire isn’t bad, how we satisfy it can cause harm to ourselves and others. American culture and the American church have both missed the mark on what sexuality is for and how to steward it. Let’s imagine a more beautiful vision for Christian sexuality that cares for the entire mind, body, and soul.
