The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 46 - When You Or Your Spouse Doesn't Like Sex - Part 3

Sex is a wonderful, awesome, and mysterious gift that God has given us to delight in within the context of marital exclusivity.

Through sexual intimacy married couples are intended to experience deep and profound relational values such as intimacy, connection, union, trust, caring, and love.

In view of this wonderful gift... and these wonderful benefits... you'd think every married person would anticipate... desire... and fully enjoy the pleasures and ecstasy of sexual connection with their spouse on a regular basis.

Yet many people... both men and women... struggle deeply with significantly diminished sexual desire or interest... and often do everything they can do to avoid... or at least limit... sexual contact with their spouse. 

As you can only imagine, this lack of sexual interest and avoidance often leads to significant tension, confusion, misunderstanding, and hurt in the context of the marriage... especially if the other spouse has sexual desire and interest.

What if one person in the marriage in interested in sex... and the other person is not? 

What if one person in the marriage wants and needs sex more than the other person?

In this very important series of 5 episodes (43-47), Tony exposes 4 common reasons that contribute to low sexual desire, and then shares 9 principles that will help and encourage those who are interested in increasing their level of sexual interest and desire... so they can become sexually present in their marriage in a healthier way.

In this episode Tony shares the 4th reason people often struggle with diminished sexual desire, and the first 2 principles of what to do about it!

In this episode Tony interrupts our current Podcast series - When Your Or Your Spouse Doesn't Like Sex - to present a special Christmas episode on the topic of the Incarnation.

The Incarnation is not just a 2,000 year old historical event that we remember during the holiday season - far removed from the reality of our present day lives - but is in fact the very basis of the possibility that we can experience sexual healing and wholeness in our lives today.

Would you like to experience healing in the sexual area of your life?

Would you like to be a healthier person when it comes to sex?

Would you like to control sex instead of being controlled by sex?

Would you like to break the power that pornography has been holding in your life?

This episode will help you understand what the Incarnation is - and how the Incarnation provides the power and the possibility that all these things can come true for you!  Or said another way...

It's because of the Incarnation that you can experience sexual healing in your life!

It's because of the Incarnation that you can become healthier in the sexual area of your life!

It's because of the Incarnation that you can learn to control sex instead of being controlled by sex!

It's because of the Incarnation that the power of pornography can be broken from you life!

The truth of this episode isn't just for Christmas - it's for every day of the year!  

So listen to this episode - and celebrate the Incarnation and the true meaning of Christmas - no matter what day of the year you're listening!

The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 34 - Kids & Porn with Dina Alexander - Part 2

There’s at least 3 very sobering realities about pornography that you should be aware of…

  1. You know how much you’ve struggled with pornography in your own heart and life.

  2. You know how the sexualized culture in which you live presents a never-ending parade of sexual temptation that will always be just 1 or 2 clicks away on your devices.

  3. You know that your kids are growing up in the same sexualized culture, and they will also face the same challenges and struggles with sex that you yourself are facing.

It’s a pretty scary thought to realize that your kids are probably going to have the same struggles and issues with sex as we have struggled with so deeply.

Did you know it’s inevitable that your kids will see porn… it’s only a matter of time?

Did you know that the same porn that’s a never-ending temptation to you will also be a never-ending temptation to your kids?

Did you ever wonder what you can do to prepare your kids for the inevitable reality of the porn saturated culture in which they live?

In this episode Tony interviews Dina Alexander… the founder and president of Educate and Empower Kids… an organization dedicated to equipping parents with the practical tools and resources that will…

  • empower them to talk with their kids in healthy and appropriate ways about pornography, intimacy, and sexuality…

  • enable them to prepare their kids for the inevitable pornography onslaught they will be confronted with in this day and age.

The Power of Purity Podcast - Episode 27 - The High Price of Pornography - Part 4

Looking at porn isn't really that big of a deal.  Right?  I mean... everybody does it... and if nobody knows I'm doing it, who is it really hurting?

These are the kind of thoughts many men have as the justify, rationalize, and minimize their use of porn.  And that's part of the reason that so many men look at porn... because if it's not that big of a deal... and it isn't hurting anything or anybody... then what's the difference?  

In this session Tony helps men understand that in reality... they're paying a much bigger price for looking at porn than they think they're paying.  When you throw a rock in a pond there are consequences, because the rock makes a splash and creates ripples.  In much the same way, when a man looks at porn, whether he knows it or not, there are consequences in his life, and you can no look at porn and have no consequences than you can throw a rock in a pond and not make a splash or ripples.

In this series - The High Price of Pornography - Tony shares a total of 10 "prices" men are paying when they look at porn... and in this episode (27)... he covers the 9th and 10th "prices".
