    by  Ruth Buezis

    Talking about sex-related topics in the church or in the Christian world is challenging. Many Christian parents have a difficult time talking about sex with their children. Many Christian married couples struggle to talk about sex with each other. Church leaders tend to shy away from this subject. 

    Even though our sexuality is one of the most important parts of being human, we hardly ever talk about it. 

    Opening Conversations About Sex is a mini-course that raises many important issues for discussion. In this mini-course Ruth Buezis, author of the Book Awaken Love, shares a Biblical understanding of human sexuality and the conversations the church may need to address.
