In this helpful talk, John Mark Comer from Bridgetown Church talks about the ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ — times of spiritual dryness and struggle, where we feel distant from God and wonder where He is!
These dry times are often for our own benefit, if we are willing to walk through them with God. This talk is helpful for anyone who is struggling to feel close and connected with God, and seeking to understand how to walk through this season in a faithful way.
God and Sexuality
The sexual revolution has transformed the way we understand sex and sexuality in a very short period of time.
In this talk, John Mark Comer from Bridgetown Church, explains how we arrived at our contemporary views on sex and sexuality; disconnecting sex from procreation, marriage, gender, emotions and now, in the digital age, from being human.
This is worth a listen for anyone seeking to understand the biblical views on sex and sexuality; loving people with grace and compassion, while maintaining a biblical conviction for holiness and truth.
Silence and Solitude
In an attention deficit society, the need for silence is deafening. Richard Rohlheizer has suggested that “we are distracting ourselves to oblivion.”
In such a culture as this, the spiritual discipline of “silence and solitude” is more important than ever before. In this brilliant talk, John Mark Comer from Bridgetown Church describes this practice in detail, compelling us to slow down, decompress, and appreciate God without distraction.
