Video Transcript: For Such a Time as This

On a regular basis, I'm in the trenches, hearing people's sexual stories. To be honest with  you, I can feel overwhelmed at times by the broken in our world. And I have to remind myself,  that where there is brokenness. There's opportunity. People are hurting, and they're looking  for answers. And the only answer is Jesus. We have good news. Can we create, spaces to  hear and honor other people's stories? Can we allow ourselves to feel their pain without trying to quickly wipe it away and fix it with some Christians? Can we sit with them like Jesus? Can  we wait with them? Like Jesus wept? But we can't expect people to be open, when we still  pretend to be perfect. We have to admit that we struggle in the area of sexuality to me we  start with ourselves. I teach classes women often you have a ease because because you're  just like one of us. And I am I am one of them. I still struggle on my sexuality. I will continue to  struggle on my sexuality because No, I always have more to learn. There's always more  always more freedom, and more intimacy. So can you and will you be like us? Can be we'll  not have all the answers. Work with us on this journey. We all have work to do. And so I just  want to encourage you now is the time to break open the conversation of sex in the church.  When you pray, Father God thank you for every person. Use this video. I pray that you would  break their heart for the brokenhearted and pray that You would help them to see opportunity  where there's brokenness give them courage to enter into spaces where the church is so  silent, giving them space to open up conversations. To not have all the answers but to look to  God for the answers. God we trust that your amazing work through and so God you work  through us where we are weak, you are strong. In Jesus name, Amen.
