Hope + Help Podcast

In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Scott Mehl about his book, Redeeming Sex in Marriage: How the Gospel Rescues Sex, Transforms Marriage, and Reveals the Glory of God. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are: • Why might the topic of sex be such a difficult one for husbands and wives to discuss together? • What are some prevailing views about sex—both inside and outside the church—that have distorted God’s good design for sexual intimacy? • Why is it important to build a solid theological foundation of God’s design for sex? • What are five fundamental purposes of God’s design for sex in marriage? • Why does sex in marriage seem so difficult and complicated? • How does observing the life of Jesus help us to see God’s intention to redeem, bless, and honor the sexually broken? • Why is it important to consider the emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects of our personhood in addition to the physical aspects of sex? • What makes sex in marriage a “journey?” View the full show notes & links for this episode: ibcd.org/redeeming-sex-scott-mehl The Hope + Help Podcast offers biblical conversations about life's challenging problems.
