Why Sexual ‘Freedom’ Isn’t Making Us Happy – Joseph Backholm

Posted on by

Joseph Backholm joins Tracie Shellhouse for a candid conversation about the cultural lie that sexual freedom leads to happiness—and why it so often results in the opposite. Together they explore how a biblical worldview reveals the true connection between holiness, wholeness, and joy, and how pregnancy help organizations can compassionately guide clients toward healthier choices and lasting hope. If you’re serving in pregnancy help ministry or giving sexual health presentations in schools, this conversation is for you!

Women’s Sexual Wellness – Dr. Joe Malone

Posted on by

Beth Diemert is joined by Dr. Joe Malone to discuss the term “Women’s Sexual Wellness” and how this type of education speaks directly to young women in today’s culture. Dr. Joe explains the research behind this cutting-edge information and the life-changing effect it can have on the women we serve.

Notes:

  • The results of the “hookup culture” have different affects on men vs women, and both are damaging to the way that bonding happens.
  • Terminology used in abstinence education over the years have changed as science has uncovered more about how sexual activity affects the brain.
  • Pregnancy centers have an opportunity to offer a positive approach to abstinence education that empowers women to make healthy choices based on scientific evidence to back up the Christian worldview of marriage.
