Pastor Zack hosts a powerful and honest conversation with Pastor Rob and Joe as we continue our Ten Commandments series — diving deep into Commandment #7: Do Not Commit Adultery.

In this episode, the pastors unpack:

• Why God created sex as a good and beautiful gift
• The purpose of sex: procreation, relational bonding, recreational joy, and spiritual unity
• Why boundaries matter and how they protect God’s good design
• The emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual consequences of adultery
• How Scripture frames marriage as two becoming one
• The hope, grace, and restoration available through Jesus

This is a thoughtful, biblical, and Christ-centered conversation designed to build up marriages, encourage purity, and remind us that God’s commands are for our good.✨ Whether you're married, single, or supporting others on their journey — this episode is filled with truth, grace, and practical wisdom.
