What Is Sex?

Download Talk

Human sexuality is wonderful, complex and personal, but what is the purpose of sex?

Does God have an opinion about how we use our bodies? How is the physical act of having sex connected with our emotional and spiritual selves? What does the bible have to say about soul ties? And how might we resist sexual immorality?

In this talk, Daniel outlines two false beliefs that have impacted church and culture, providing a positive vision for how we might embrace a biblical view of sex.
