Christians dont have a shining track record in addressing sex. It may have been presented in unhelpful and unbiblical teaching through poor teaching of the Bible or ignored altogether. Women in the church have struggled with the louder silence in regard to female sexuality. In a world spiraling into a sexual free for all, many Christian women are succumbing to the cultural insanity that says sex is all about you do what you want. On the other hand, others are smothered in shame concerning their sexual struggles, because supposedly only men struggle with sexual desires gone amok. God speaks to all of these issues and He does so without blushing, shaming, or offering cliches. Sexual sanity, which is gained through the wise, unashamed, and bold teaching of the Bible, is Gods gift for all. Freedom and the healing grace of Jesus are for all those including women who have experienced broken heartedness and the captivity of sexual addictions. Sexual sanity is a reality women can grow into as we embrace Gods design for sexuality rather than the ever increasing expressions of broken sexuality. This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Ellen Dykas about her 2013 feature article, Sexual Sanity for Women in a World Gone Mad.
