Let's talk about sex. In this episode, I'll be diving into a conversation that many find difficult, but is absolutely crucial for our spiritual journeys.  We're talking about sex. More specifically, how to Find Freedom in sexuality through Faith. 

With us today is my guest, Matt Cline. 

Matt is the founder and director of Restored Ministries, focused on leading men and women out of sexual brokenness and into a life of freedom and impact.

He's here today to discuss the impact of pornography, understanding repentance and experiencing grace, navigating sexual temptation, practical steps for sexual healing, the role of the church in sexual healing, the importance of understanding the state of our hearts, the connection between trauma and sexual brokenness, and the significance of knowing God and experiencing intimacy with Him.

Matt emphasizes the importance of being intentional about what we consume and allowing God to fill the voids in our lives. He shares his personal journey of realizing his significance in God's eyes and how that transformed his life and ministry.

Additionally, Matt and Ann discuss the importance of patience in spiritual growth, rooting ourselves in Christ and our identity in Him, and overcoming taboos around sexuality. 

They also share tips for approaching conversations about sexuality and supporting each other in this area.

So whether you're tuning in during your morning jog, on your commute to work, or simply winding down after a long day, I hope this conversation brings you some clarity, and encouragement, and perhaps, even challenges you to think differently.
