Episode 5: Let's Talk About Boundaries w/Hali Winter

Relationships can be difficult. And though modern culture promotes removing anyone from our lives that we determine “toxic” or “narcissistic”, Jesus calls us to deal with difficult relationships differently. So what do we do? What if someone is a bit "toxic"? What if someone is smothering, or critical? For married folks: what boundaries are necessary to protect a marriage? Can spouses have friends of the opposite sex? How do we know when a boundary is necessary, and what should that look like?Listen in today as Adam has a conversation with his wife Hali Winter about the importance of having boundaries in general relationships & married relationships.

Episode 4: Practical Steps For Walking In Freedom Over Porn & Sexual Sin

This episode is "Part 2" of this conversation surrounding porn & sexual sin. Last time, we talked about the magnitude of the problem, and today is all abut the solution. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't call us to figure things out on our own, but gives us a clear path out of bondage to sexual sin. The cost is high, but the freedom on the other side is so worth it.Video teaching: https://youtu.be/b2pBZ8c7BhA [https://youtu.be/b2pBZ8c7BhA]

How do we deal with it? Listen in to today's episode for hope & practical ways to respond to the doubt in your own life.

Episode 3: The Problem Of Porn & The Burden Of Sexual Sin

On today's episode, we pull no punches. This one is candid. We'll talk about everything from the growing problem of porn, the shame that accompanies it, and have an honest chat about that squeamish word masturbation. In a hyper-sexualized culture that has deeply impacted the church, we need to talk about sexual sin, and find hope for change as we look to Jesus.
