In this powerful episode, Alex and Lokelani dive deep into Song of Solomon chapter 7 to explore one of the most important yet often avoided topics in the church: sexual brokenness and God's path to healing.

What We Cover:

* How God re-describes us vs. how sin defines us

* The difference between "falls" and "flights" in our spiritual journey

* Biblical sexuality within marriage - treasures "new and old"

* Why our desires need to be rewired by God's love

* Personal testimonies of healing from sexual trauma

* The cross as the ultimate source of healing from sexual brokenness

Key Takeaway: Jesus was broken so that we could be healed. No matter what sexual brokenness you've experienced - whether from your own choices or at the hands of others - true healing comes only through the cross of Christ.

This is the second-to-last episode in our Song of Solomon series before we return to Matthew. We believe this message will bring hope and healing to many who have been carrying shame in silence.
