Our work with Flourish Kenya puts us at the front lines of these issues and makes us sensitive to the tragic consequences of the ways society has diverged from God’s perfect design for sex and sexuality. However, finding a person, marriage, or family anywhere in the world, from the U.S. all the way to Kenya, that has not been affected by the downfall of sex and sexuality outside of God's design would be difficult. You don't have to look too far around you to see the pain, chaos, and confusion caused by having sex our way.

This week we are going to explore five common ways we go wrong with God's design for sexuality, whether it started with what we learned through entertainment and media, what we were taught at home, or the harmful teachings passed down by the Church.

as much as we try, and despite all of the misconceptions and beliefs surrounding sexuality, we can't separate God from sex. Sexuality and God are so closely intertwined that our view of Him and His position in our lives directly correlates with our views on sex, relationships, and even identity. If we are confused about God, we will be confused about aspects of sexuality.

We could talk all day about what is broken with sex, and stay tuned because we'll get there! But first, let's start with the flawless original design. In the first two chapters of Genesis, God reveals His plan and purposes for sex.

Today we’re exploring the three purposes of sex outlined in scripture: procreation, intimacy, and pleasure.
