SEARCH FOR INTIMACY
Sex is a part of life. Managed rightly, it is a profound blessing. Managed poorly, it is a source of pain and distress. People need more than rules about sex; they need a theology of sex that empowers them to live successfully in a sex-crazy environment. This course is directed at the needs of the young singles, the parents trying to raise them, and "single again" people who are not so young.
Sessions include:
- Welcome to the War Zone
- The Origin of Sex
- The Power of Sex
- Six empowering principles
- Deadly dating
- How far can I go
- Safe Sex
- How will I know?
- Healing
