So here's a thing...
A few months back I was on the @Hatechurchfolk podcast
Talking about things and stuff... Cause I'm interested in things and stuff
The topic was church and sexuality ... A topic that I'm comfortable talking about
The saints gonna ask me "why you talmbout that?"
Well... Cause y'all won't
Well... Cause y'all won't
And since y'all apply a spiritual weight to sensuality it probably would be helpful if we explore our dynamic sensual selves in a healthy way
If we won't teach health souls won't be healthy...
Also... Y'all seem... To like sex
But we also have an unhealthy relationship with desire and shame...
people of faith need better matrices for conversations concerning the theology of the body...
The messages that we receive from faith spaces concerning .. Body/desire/ sexuality are not reflective of and gospel teaching...
"my body belongs to God"
Nah... Your body belongs to you
That's a personal responsibility that God trust you with
Nah... Your body belongs to you
That's a personal responsibility that God trust you with
"sex creates soul ties"
That is hoodoo... Which I'm okay with as long as you know that's not a gospel imperative

"I'm dating Jesus"
Beloved he is unavailable...
Beloved he is unavailable...
"celibacy is godly"
Celibacy is a choice... Celibacy makes a single person a Christian about as much as driving a Volvo makes me swedish

"what are you suggesting???"
I am suggesting that if you wanna be a Christian love your neighbor in real and tangible ways...
I am suggesting that if you wanna be a Christian love your neighbor in real and tangible ways...
I am suggesting that you are not a mistake of the divine that Christ is concerned about your healthy expression of desire
I am suggesting that God does care about our sexual selves... The divine cares that it is...
Consensual
Ethical
Responsible
Joyful
Consensual
Ethical
Responsible
Joyful
I am suggesting that Christ has not called you to abstain from any good thing... But to take care... Exercise health and wholeness in delight and fulfillment
Now... Reach your pinky through the phone and pinky promise me you will
advocate and practice healthy desire... Do it! Let's touch pinkies!!!!!!
