Healthy Sexuality
Sexuality is an important part of who we are and God has a good design for it. But for many of us our experiences haven't always reflected that design. Whether you're looking to better understand God's perspective on sex, navigate challenges in your own story, or find healing from past experiences, we believe there's a path toward greater freedom, health, and wholeness.
This page is designed for you. You’ll find a collection of videos, articles, teachings, groups, and other resources to help you take your next step toward healthy sexuality.

Understanding Healthy Sexuality
We all want to be known and loved. But letting someone see our real selves—our desires, struggles, and stories—can feel risky. In this honest conversation, the panel explores how shame, past experiences, and messages about sexuality shape the way we connect with others. Through stories of marriage, singleness, friendship, and faith, they discuss how God is helping them discover a fuller picture of intimacy. What does it look like to move beyond the surface, build trusted relationships, and believe we can be loved as we are?
Dealing with a Pornography Addiction
How does pornography shape the way we see ourselves, experience intimacy, and pursue connection? Through personal stories and a therapist’s perspective, this honest conversation explores counterfeit sexuality, pornography beyond porn sites, and the deeper needs behind our habits. The panel shares how Jesus, counseling, and safe community have helped them move toward healing and freedom from shame.
Talking To Your Kids About Sex
How early should you talk to your kids about sex? What do you say—and how do you respond when they’ve already seen pornography? Parents, a therapist, and a kids ministry leader share practical ways to make conversations about sex and sexuality ongoing, honest, and free from shame. From naming body parts to teaching boundaries, respect, and the dignity of others, they explore how to become someone your child trusts with their questions. You don’t need a perfect script. Whether you’re starting early or wishing you’d started sooner, you can take a next step with curiosity, love, and faith.
Overcoming Body Image Issues
What do you see when you look in the mirror—and whose voice shapes what you believe about your body? In this honest conversation, the panel shares personal stories of body shame, diet culture, bullying, and sexual trauma—and how God is helping them see themselves differently. Together, they explore what it means to embrace our bodies as part of God’s good creation, speak kindly to ourselves, and help our kids find worth beyond appearance. Through prayer, therapy, and safe community, healing is possible. Wherever you are in that journey, you don’t have to hide or navigate it alone.
Navigating Sex in Marriage
What happens when sex in marriage doesn’t look the way you expected? Two married couples join Chuck for an honest conversation about mismatched desire, pressure, shame, and building intimacy beyond the physical. They share how parenting, mental health, aging, and medical challenges have changed their relationships—and what they’re learning about communication, trust, and connection. From talking about sex outside the bedroom to showing affection without expectations, this conversation explores how to care for each other through changing seasons, with grace, practical support, and hope in God’s ability to bring healing.
Navigating Sex While Single
What does it look like to follow Jesus in your dating life when desire is real and waiting feels hard? Three unmarried panelists join Chuck for an honest conversation about sex outside of marriage, physical boundaries, and the joys and challenges of singleness. They share their experiences of celibacy, dating, intentional time alone, and finding friends who offer care and accountability without shame. Together, they explore why being single doesn’t mean being incomplete—and how God’s grace makes room for a new direction, whatever your past looks like.
