Listen "Ep. 17: Sex, Marriage, & Rock 'n' Roll??: God's Design for Sex & How We Wrecked It!"
Episode Synopsis
Did Adam and Eve have sex in the Garden of Eden? In this raw, unfiltered episode of Deformed Theology, we tackle one of the most avoided yet most culturally distorted topics in the Church today: sex. From Genesis to 1 Corinthians, from Proverbs to Romans, we trace God’s original design for sexuality, how sin twisted it, and how our modern world has taken that deformation to the next level.We’re diving head-first into questions and issues the Church often whispers about—if it talks about them at all. Was sex always meant to be beautiful, holy, and worshipful? (Yes.) How does sexual sin—whether premarital, extramarital, pornography, homosexuality, lust, or even subtle compromise—deform our view of God, His Word, and His people? (Also yes.)David and Jonathan don’t just stop at the “don’ts.” They walk through the “do’s” of a God-honoring sex life—one that is not only physically pure, but spiritually rich and deeply satisfying. We look at Scripture’s clear boundaries: one man, one woman, in covenant marriage. And we expose how culture’s redefinition of sex and marriage, even creeping into some denominations, has blurred lines God drew from the very beginning.You’ll hear:Why Genesis 2 shows sex as a gift without shame before the fall.How 1 Corinthians 6 reveals sexual sin as uniquely damaging—and how fleeing it is an act of worship.The connection between valuing your body as God’s temple and how you approach holiness, discipleship, and marriage.Why Jesus’ warning about lust goes far beyond physical actions—it’s about the heart’s ownership and affection.The danger of “purity culture” that focused on fear and rules instead of the beauty of God’s design.How Romans 1 exposes the downward spiral from ignoring God to degrading passions.Why biblical marriage demands the death of self for the life of your spouse (Ephesians 5).This episode is both theological and practical. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, you’ll find real talk about temptation, discipline, communication, and intimacy that honors God. We even get real about parenting—how to teach your kids about sex in an age where the internet and culture are eager to teach them first.We’re not here to shame—we’re here to call for repentance, to point to God’s grace, and to equip believers to live out His design in a hypersexualized world. This is for the believer who’s ready to push past shallow conversations and deal with the heart, mind, and body as one—set apart for the glory of God.Chapters & Highlights:00:00 – Did Adam & Eve have sex in Eden?06:45 – God’s boundaries for sexuality in Genesis13:10 – Sexual sin as a deformity of theology21:30 – How culture’s “normal” deforms God’s truth35:00 – Marriage as death of self for life of the other50:20 – Lust: Noticing beauty vs. taking possession1:12:15 – Purity culture’s failures and what to do instead1:28:40 – Romans 1 and the slippery slope away from God1:49:00 – Parenting: talking to your kids before the world does2:05:30 – Fleeing temptation and cutting off sinIf you’ve ever wondered how sex fits into God’s redemptive plan—or how to reclaim a holy, joyful vision for it in your life—this episode will challenge, convict, and encourage you.📖 Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 2, 1 Corinthians 6 & 7, Proverbs 5, Romans 1, Ephesians 5, Song of Solomon, Leviticus 18 & 20, 1 Thessalonians 4, Colossians 3, Matthew 5, John 8.
