049 On Distorting Sex, Marriage, the Gospel (with Dr. Beth Felker Jones)

Like Jesus, we need to overturn the tables of those peddling gender hierarchies within the temple of our bodies.
Because our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we need to overturn this harmful equation of sex and salvation with a gender hierarchy.
In this episode, with Dr. Beth Felker Jones, we talk about the recent outrage over the article "Sex Won’t Save You (But It Points to the One Who Will)", its distorting and damaging theology, and point toward a better understanding of the goodness of sex, marriage, and the gospel.
