In this Insights episode, Laura and I are going places we honestly never thought we’d go on the podcast... Starting today by reacting to some intense videos from Abolitionists Rising and the discussion around abortion, conviction, compassion and the beautiful truth that forgiveness is found in Christ. Then we're unpacking our conversation with Ine-Mari Venter, particularly her incredibly honest story about pornography, masturbation, and finding freedom in Christ. This gets real, awkward and probably a little more personal than usual as we talk about sexual sin, lust, marriage, temptation and why Christians need to be willing to talk about the things we’d rather keep hidden. We look at what Scripture does (and doesn’t) say, why purity is a fight of the faith, and most importantly, why you are not alone in your struggle. Sin loses its power when we bring it into the light, and there is forgiveness, grace and freedom in Christ. Click here to watch this episode on YouTube.
