Best of Strong Women: Before the Sex Tal...

COLSON CENTER
About this episode

We are taking a small break this July to gear up for season five of the Strong Women podcast. But during this break, we decided to re-air some episodes that we thought you would enjoy.

Our guests today are Linda Noble and Linda Stewart, affectionately called "The Lindas." I love how these two ladies in different seasons of life looked at the world around them and asked, "What is missing that we can add?" They tell us how they joined together to learn and then create something that offers a window into God's design for sex, which fits into the larger story that He wants to be known by us, and He uses His creationincluding our own bodiesto pursue a relationship with us. I am excited for you to learn about how God has designed our bodies and our sexuality to invite us into a deeper relationship with Him. We must learn these big truths about God's design in order to invite the young people in our lives to grasp the significance of the gift of sex within marriage. Without the big picture, this seems like just a rule to follow instead of an invitation to flourish.

 

Registration is now open for the Great Lakes Symposium on Christian Worldview, on Thursday, July 25 at 7pm Eastern. John Stonestreet will be joined by author and apologist Alisa Childers, and Ryan Bomberger of the Radiance Foundation. Our topic is "Truth and Its Counterfeits: Discerning the Lies that Take People Captive." 

Have you ever felt pressure to affirm unbiblical ideas in the name of "love" or "social justice?" Truly loving our neighbors means refusing to compromise God's Word. To help us do that, Alisa Childers and Ryan Bomberger will join me for an important discussion on how Christians can pursue truth and love, even when it's challenging. This event is free, and you can attend in-person in Bay Harbor, Michigan, or online via livestream. Register today at greatlakessymposium.org. 

You can leave a voicemail for us at 719-838-6700. Tell us what you love about the podcast and how it's encouraged you and impacted you in your daily life.

The Strong Women podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what's happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them. Learn more about the Colson Center here: https://www.colsoncenter.org/
