The Q&R Podcast is for the seeker and skeptic in all of us, designed to create a posture of curiosity about ourselves
and others.

This fall, we've been working through a teaching series on sexuality every Sunday. So to coincide with that, we are releasing a two-part Q&R series aimed at addressing an important question “is biblical sexuality outdated?”

As younger generations have moved away from traditional religion, the biblical outlook of human sexuality has become irrelevant in the larger cultural conversation. Spend a few minutes in a secular environment and you’ll quickly realize this. A large part of the population views biblical sexuality as outdated, and has dismissed it altogether.

However, people are waking up to the fact that our culture’s predominant view of sexuality doesn’t work. Louise Perry’s book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution – which was secular – highlighted all the ways our hypersexualized
culture is failing us.

With that in mind, we are doing a mini two-part Q&R series on biblical sexuality. In part one, we want to explore what the Bible actually says about sex – not just what we think it says. We want to establish what the purpose of sex is, and in what environment sex truly thrives.

In part two, we will explore how to put this all into practice. That means addressing how to handle your sexual desires as a single person and also what a healthy sex life looks like when you are married. We believe these episodes will speak to a wide range of audiences, and that the information we’ll learn can have a big impact on your own sexuality.

Over the last couple of months, we’ve been exploring a series of interconnected questions. We first asked, "Aren’t all religions the same?" and then moved on to "Why should we trust the Bible?" last month. Our next topic follows naturally: addressing objections to the church.

In this episode, we’ll discuss the mass exodus from the church, why so many people are turned off by what they’ve seen, and what the church is truly supposed to stand for. We encourage you to listen through to the very end.

Last month, we tackled a big question: Aren’t all religions the same? During that episode, we discussed the case for Christianity and received a lot of feedback, especially objections to the Bible and the church.

So this month, we’re diving into another crucial question: Why should we trust the Bible? Today, the Bible’s authority in America is at an all-time low, partly due to misconceptions about its teachings. People have concerns about topics like misogyny, sexuality, war, hell, and God’s actions in the Old Testament.

Additionally, there’s a widespread belief that the Bible is purely man-made and lacks evidence of divine origin. In this episode, we’ll address these issues and more, aiming to set the record straight on the Bible.
