If you’ve ever asked, “What does the bible say about sex?”... this conversation is for you.

Let’s be honest, church taught a lot of us what not to do when it came to sex, but not enough about what sex is for.

In this episode of Daring Discussions, I’m joined by Pastor Joel Moorefield Jr., and we’re digging into what scripture really says about sex, not just rules, but God’s design, intention, and heart behind it all.

We’re unpacking:
Why sex is spiritual (and not just physical)
What scripture says about pleasure, marriage, and desire
The weight of shame and how bad theology can keep people bound
How to ask "Is this allowed?" without getting stuck in fear or legalism
What it looks like to unlearn purity culture and still honor holiness

Bring your questions, your Bible, and your curiosity. Let’s Discuss!

Whew—this one’s for everybody trying to live holy with followers watching 👀

We’re talking:
Navigating sex & dating when people expect perfection
Setting boundaries without being performative
Public pressure vs. private convictions
Why being saved doesn’t mean you stop being human

This conversation is funny, honest, and full of wisdom for anyone trying to balance influence and intimacy without losing their mind or their witness.
