Hey L,
If you've been following XXXchurch for the past couple of months you know that a key aspect to our mission is pushing for more open conversations about difficult subjects in culture and in the church.
Subjects like porn, lust, and masturbation.
Why?
Because we believe that the only way these things will greatly improve is when we engage in meaningful conversations meant to encourage, inspire and challenge each other.
So much can happen when we pursue healthy dialogue… when nothing is off limits and all conversations are welcome.
Because it is through those conversations that we have the opportunity to process and reflect on the areas of life we find most challenging and confusing.
That being said, in the church world I have seen some great examples of this happening. And unfortunately, I have also seen plenty of cases when this is not the case.
I came across an article the other day written by someone with a faith-based mindset that tackled the subject of masturbation and it's "rightness" or "wrongness."
I'd like to say it was great. I can't.
Why? Well a lot of reasons, but primarily it was the shame that was created by the way their position was presented.
We need to do a better job at talking about these problematic topics.
But rather than me summing up everything I already wrote, check out this week's post where I break this whole thing down and offer a healthier alternative to how we approach the subject of "self pleasure."
