Grapple with real questions.

Real people, real pain, real questions. When we get honest about doubts and confusion, we experience the clarity we need.

Address deeper issues.

Identity, wounds, and strongholds are all obstacles we need to wrestle with as we embrace God's design for healthy sexuality.

Draw closer to God.

Beliefs about God and beliefs about sex go hand-in-hand. Let sexuality be an invitation –not an obstacle– to knowing God.

About God, Sexuality & You

God and sexuality are two words most people are uncomfortable putting together, but many Christians have ongoing struggles and questions no one seems to be able to help with. What happens? Sexuality becomes an area of life most Christians don’t know what to do with. And so we live compartmentalized lives, trying to ignore the shame and the doubt, the pain and the questions. There is a lot under the surface of our sexual struggles. Often conversations in the church only discuss the importance of following rules without bringing the presence of the Lord into the space of your sexuality. It’s not enough for us just to know the rules without addressing the deeper issues of identity, wounds, strongholds, and wrestling with God’s purpose for our sexuality. This curriculum is not a theological deep dive, but an intentional journey of personal surrender to the heart of God. It is an invitation for you to grapple with your real questions—the nagging ones that the Bible doesn’t seem to answer, the sin struggles that won’t go away, the shame that still haunts you—and let them draw you closer to God instead of farther away. When we surrender our sexuality, we invite God into the deepest, most intimate part of who we are—our wounds, our disappointments, our longings—and we discover Him. And knowing Him changes everything.
