    Episode 40 - Sacred Desire

    In this episode, Zach & Kevin are joined by Bridgett Blood to talk about how Christian singles & Christians who are dating can engage their God-given and God-wired sexuality in a healthy, Biblical, and God-honoring way. We talk about reframing this conversation from lists of “dos and don’ts” to honoring the way God created us, while still holding appropriate and Biblical boundaries. We also talk about how our sexual story is not “on pause” until or unless we get married, the difference between lust and longing, and the importance of finding our pleasure both in God and through God.
