Published: April 16, 2020, 10 a.m.

Counselors answer tough questions about sex, plus Jon Tyson on the comparison trap, and should you hold out for your crush to become a Christian? Roundtable: Singles and Sexuality (Part 1) Sex is anything but a simple topic. As a single Christian, your sexuality is a gift God wants you to steward faithfully. But the obvious question is — how? A team of licensed professional counselors addresses some of the toughest scenarios we came up with: everything from abstinence to masturbation to sexual expression as a single adult. You don’t want to miss this frank and wisdom-filled discussion! Culture: How Comparison Kills There’s nothing that can weigh your soul down like the chain of comparison. Jon Tyson is a Manhattan pastor who speaks, writes, innovates...and is in constant danger of living his life in the shadow of other great speakers, writers and innovators. Jon has a lot to say about how he orders his day, prioritizes the applause of God, and shuts out the “me first” voices that threaten to undo him. Better yet, he shows us how to do the same.
