\nWe\u2019ve spent the last two weeks explaining where much of the toxic messaging around pleasure has come from – at least within the Christian tradition. Hint: we don\u2019t think it comes from the bible. We\u2019ve also made the case that pleasure needs to be accessed and celebrated in our lives.
\nHowever, this raises questions, and likely it should\u2026 Mostly because, like anything, the pleasures we pursue almost always have price tags (either literally or metaphorically).
\nHow much pleasure is enough at any given time? And at what cost? What if your spouse/partner/parent/child/bank account doesn’t support your idea of pleasure? What limitations, if any, should we impose on the pleasures we desire? And why?
\nThis Sunday, we\u2019re going to explore ways we can build a healthy pleasure ethic that hopefully avoids the shame and repression of past messaging on one side while avoiding destructive addictive and hedonistic behaviours on the other. This should be fun! \U0001f609
