S4 19. The Joy and Wonder of Male and Female With Abigail Favale

Our world is so confused about what it means to be human—and even more confused about what it means to be male and female. The extreme responses to this confusion include denying sexual difference on the one hand, as if men and women are interchangeable—or overemphasizing it, as if men and women are practically different species. But the reality of our God-given humanity, including our distinctly male and female bodies, is so much bigger and better than these false extremes. This week, Dr. Abigail Favale joins us to talk all things biblical sexuality, gender, the goodness of our bodies, and the beautiful interdependence that God designed us for. Tune in and be encouraged at how God loves men and women and has designed them to reflect Him together.
