187. Grieving Sexual Sin in the Church;...

Francie Winslow
About this episode

In this vulnerable episode, Francie reflects on the pain and struggle caused by sexual sin in the church. Let's have some honest reflections, informed and stirred up by a culmination of years of sexual sin being exposed publicly in some church leaders. This is not about finger pointing towards anybody, all while we acknowledge the incredible pain that is experienced by victims. 

 

In this episode, we will explore some important questions about honesty, stress, sexuality, and the dangers of Christian celebrity culture. 

 

Takeaways:

Be honest and vulnerable about what is going on beneath the surface.

Pay attention to stress and find healthy ways to process it.

Celebrate and intentionally grow your sexuality within your marriage.

Avoid putting pastors and leaders on pedestals and focus on the local and small.
