Episode Synopsis "Enjoying the Earth Without Loving the World"

Is it wrong to experience pleasure? Many Christians assume "pleasure" and "sin" are synonymous. Others define godly pleasure so narrowly that they drastically minimize the powerful and Holy role that pleasure can play in their lives. Still others feel guilty even thinking about how to build a life of pleasure. Pastor Gary Thomas invites Christians to embrace a life of true pleasure as a pathway to obedience, worship, and service. Gary provides a theological and inspirational framework to help us cultivate the kind of life that pleases God.   Receive the book Pure Pleasure plus free audio download of “Enjoying the Earth without Loving the World." for your donation of any amount!
