\\nExperiencing healthy sexuality is a challenge that every human will wrestle with. It doesn\\u2019t matter if you\\u2019re young or old, single or married, gay, straight, asexual, or anywhere in between. Over our lifetime we\\u2019ll spend a ton of energy trying to understand or accept either our own unique sexual identities and expressions or of someone we love.
\\nSadly, talking about these personal challenges in families and communities has often proven awkward – especially within religious communities. After all, sexuality has largely been seen as one of those necessary evils – a carnal, sinful part of our lives that is completely unrelated, if not divorced from the spiritual journey.
\\nQuestion\\u2026. Who told us this?
\\nWhere did these perspectives and beliefs come from? And even more importantly, what has been the cost of these beliefs in our pursuit of a healthier sexuality?
\\nWe believe that If we\\u2019re going to become fully integrated people – we need a healthier sexual ethic – one that works not just for married, heterosexual couples, but for everyone.
\\nTo get there though, we need to go back a ways. Someone once said, \\u201cIn order to know where we\\u2019re going, we need to know where we\\u2019ve been\\u201d.
\\nLet\\u2019s talk about this on Sunday in the gym. Invite someone and join us either in person or online.
