Sessions will include:
Capturing a Biblical Vision for a Passionate Sexuality
Sex is not to be worshiped, but is worship. In this session, we will examine the breath of the biblical vision for our sexuality, drawing from Genesis to Revelation, from Song of Songs to the spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6: 12-18.
Building a Foundation for a Passionate Sexuality
We will explore questions of: How is the sexual relationship to take shape in a way that leads to human flourishing rather than breakdown? How do we overcome struggles of sin, woundedness and other barriers in our sexuality to move us towards wholeness and healing.
Vital and Practical Components for a Passionate Sexuality
This session will focus on uncovering sexual myths and infusing the marriage with emotional intimacy, sensuality and affection as they are critical to a joyful sexuality.
Developing a Rule of Life for a Passionate Sexuality
This session focuses on creating steps for long term, sustainable sexual intimacy that tastes and points to heaven.
