New Position on Sex
(Teen/Young Adult)
Teens and young adults get messages every day from the World and from the Church about sex and their sexuality. But are they the right messages? The World often portrays sex as casual and free from consequences, while the Church has used guilt and shame in the hopes of scaring people from sex. Joanna exposes the misconceptions and lies on both sides, challenging your audience to consider a new, revolutionary position on sex that is exciting, life-giving and rooted in truth.

What does this mean for how we navigate relationships as Christians? Learn the X factor that changes everything and could leave your perspective on sex wrecked. In all the best ways.
