A reader asks what happens to our souls when we have sex? This question betrays a common misunderstanding of what a soul is. Let’s dig into what the Bible says.

SWM033 – Sermon – Sex: An uncomfortable topic we need to discuss

This podcast episode is a sermon I wrote and delivered in my home church while the pastors were away and I was invited to preach.

Some people asked if I would share the sermon here, so you can find the audio, as well as my sermon notes here.

Can a wife be both a lady and an exciting sexual partner?

I received this question from our anonymous Have A Question page last month. I have more recent ones, but to be honest, I don’t follow a “first come first serve” policy. I sort of pick whichever one I’m inspired to answer on any given day.
