Let God's narrative become your default way of thinking around sexual issues.

The Biblical Narrative of Sexuality e-course is a Moody Enrich Certification course is intended to build your fluency in God’s narrative for sexuality. Through this course you will analyze the various sexual narratives in the culture and church before exploring the biblical narrative of sexuality. Our hope is that you are equipped to better navigate sexual questions and disciple others toward sexual healing and wholeness.

A Note From Juli

As I’ve traveled to many churches and ministries speaking on sexuality, I have seen how important it is for leaders like you to grow in fluency around God’s purposes for sexuality. Today, it is no secret that we have all been sexually discipled by the culture. We are inundated with messages on sex from our movies, social media, phones, podcasts, and much more. That’s why it is far easier to answer a challenging sexual question from the culture’s perspective than from a biblical one, even for many Christians. For others of us, we have placed our focus on the rules around sexuality without understanding the deeper reasons for them. This is why we need a better narrative to help us grasp God’s heart for human sexuality. It is crucial for us to see how the gospel is written within our sexuality, and how we might pursue wholeness based on a biblical framework. My heart for you, friend, is that you will not only gain a deeper understanding of biblical sexuality, but that you will draw near to God personally and want to walk with others toward deeper healing in Christ as well.

What people are saying

See what other ministry leaders are saying about the Foundations of Sexual Discipleship E-Course.

”
With all the pastoral situations I face regularly, having a space to process God's narrative for sexuality with other leaders is invaluable to me. This cohort experience has helped me grow personally in how I approach sexual issues and revealed some of the unbiblical narratives I have held even as a pastor. I think all leaders everywhere need this kind of equipping!
 

Pastor

This cohort helped me gain insight and wisdom from other leaders who were both encouraging and insightful. It sharpened me as I heard various perspectives and we all grew in our discernment over challenging topics around sexuality. I would highly recommend these cohorts and courses to anyone trying to care for others toward sexual wholeness.
