Redeemed Sexuality: 12 Sessions for Healing and Transformation in Community - Paperback

by Andrew a. Boa (Author), William M. Struthers (Foreword by)

Sexual brokenness permeates our culture and has found its way into the church. Even though Christians are called to value and celebrate sexuality as sacred and good, it is often a source of fear, shame, or secret sin.But it doesn't have to be thatway. Healthy sexuality concerns what we pursue, not just what we avoid, so Redeemed Sexuality invites emerging adults to seek sexual maturity and discipleship in the context of community. As we experience love, joy, and intimacy with God and others, sexual shame and sin lose their power.Integrating theology, psychology, and spiritual formation, participants engage the process of transformation by

• practicing vulnerability
• embracing their identity in Christ
• learning healthy intimacy

Incorporating peer-to-peer leadership, this field-tested small group curriculum is suitable for use in both men's or women's groups. The process is neither linear nor easy, but change is possible because Christ is able. The only question is, Do you want to be healed?
