My will or God’s?
What is God's will for your sexuality? Beau and Adrian look at 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4
“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.”
What a Podcast!Beau & Peter take a moment to discuss the spectrum of sinful behavior. Are all sins equal? Our sexual behavior says something about ourselves! Do you know what it says about you? It can be challenging for many to discuss their sex lives, but why, since it is common to human beings? Enjoy the discussion!

Who is Mary Wollstonecraft and how did she influence our culture? Could one of the most influential feminist be a Christian?

Part 4 is not for whimps! It is certainly is the litmus test on where we are at as Pastors! Are we prideful in sharing from the pulpit? Do we know how to be honest when making Pastoral policies in a fellowship? Or are do we cloak our decisions in strength language so as to not be exposed of our personal struggles?
Peter and Beau hope to show how being honest with a congregation can be the best, God honoring, way to approach the ministry.
This is Part 3 of our Pastors and Leaders Training Series called, "The Pastors Paradigm."

What's in a slogan? What makes for good cultural propaganda today?
"That’s the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody’s going to be against, and everybody’s going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn’t mean anything.” Noam Chomsky

Peter & Beau take some time to answer some questions from the ladies!
-
God uses sexual/sensual language to talk about Israel, seems like he wants to BE with her?

-
can we masturbate to the glory of God if we're thinking about Him while we self gratify?
Is the words sexual immorality used in the culture today? If not? Why? Is there a reason today's leaders are all vague when defining what correct sexuality is? Peter and Beau look into the idea of consent, and what problems could arise when it becomes the chief sexual ethic.
Facebook has changed its name to Meta! Its a virtual world we are moving to! What is reality? It's a question that was put forth in the movie, "The Matrix." In todays online, virtual world, are the lines being blurred more and more as to what is real, and what is not? And can today's online communities tell the difference? Are there real things happening to people in a virtual, role playing scenario that affects there mind and bodies in the "real world?" And how does this relate to sex and the Bible?

And will going a different direction just push us into more government oversight of our sex lives? All this and more on this episode of the Better Pleasure podcast!
Beau & Peter do part 2 of their commentary of Robert Jensen's article on Pornography: Doing the Worst to Women, Bringing out the Worst in Men. This chat revolves around the worldview Robert Jensen is talking about, which holds the following:
A feminist critique of the sexual-exploitation industries is, for me and the feminists I have worked with, part of an expansive critique of all forms of power that are so routinely abused. Activists in the movement to challenge commercial sexual exploitation also highlight abuses of power in all the forms around us: racism, economic inequality and global exploitation, militarism, ecological degradation. A feminist critique of pornography is not separate from, but is one part of, a larger progressive/ecological critique of illegitimate concentrations of power.
