  • If you liked this video would you mind sharing it? Only if you are comfortable of course! (now to the encouragement!) Things don’t always go our way... I actually think that is a great thing... When I think of the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5 (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness etc..) and the examples of love in 1 Corinthians 13 (patient, kind, no envy, etc) these are the things we should be pursuing to reflect into the world... But we are out here just trying to get in a relationship and make a lot of money... that’s just not the move. And trust me, we are tempted just like everyone to force our will and to tell God that we know better and that 6 figure salary, and easy life would be in His best interest for us. lol. But if those aren’t the things GOD tells us to worry about, and He gives us examples of what to seek then how do we achieve those? For example, if more money comes from hard work... well More patience comes from not getting our way.. and more kindness comes from people being rude to us. And keeping no record of wrongs means we get wronged and CHOOSE to not keep record. You see what I’m saying? So in summation, all your boy is trying to say is this... Count it all joy my brothers and sisters. No matter what we are going through, we have a chance to reflect God’s love into a situation and to others and that is so so so special. Not the nice car, or amazing spouse, or “boss babe” job... It’s the love your bringing to the world, not the kingdom you’re building for yourself... Anyways. I gotta go, we are filming another video TODAY! After this Saturday’s video... We are posting every Monday/Wednesday at 10am eastern (I believe). Trying our best to get a better grip on our schedule.

      As christians, we should see having sex as a normal routine within a marriage. It’s God’s greatest gift for us. Because there’s so much sexual immorality, God commanded us to get married so that we can have that one partner to enjoy sex with. Sex is never dirty and shameful because it’s created by God for us to enjoy, and our parents had sex in order for us to be in this world today. The obvious reason for sex is to procreate, where a man and a woman join their sexual organs together and subsequently the joining of their sex cells to produce a baby. But God also wants us to enjoy the physical and emotional bonding that comes with sex.

    i love the way y’all approached this. purity culture creates such a toxic mindset of fear in girls & i hope that the church begins to lean into girls and show them into deep love for God rather than shame/fear of sex before marriage. when we are so in love with God we WANT to honor Him because of how much our hearts and minds are aligned with his. also i just got married and can see how much the Lord blesses those who keep His commandments and seek His heart in dating relationships🤍

      "Purity culture is toxic" oh yeah? Are Jesus and Saint Paul also toxic? They said that those who sin will burn in hell (except those who believe in the name of Christ and repent) They said that if you engage in these types of sin (sexual immorality) you would be barred from entering the kingdom of God. Purity culture echoes what the Bible says word for word, i dont see the problem.

    What a great topic! My husband and I were really struggling to resist because we started dating in high school where we heard every day what everyone else was doing and it was hard to not push the limits. We ended up breaking up after two years because we had crossed set boundaries too many times and our relationship was not centered around God anymore, but around each other and our desires for each other. We still loved each other like crazy and we wrote letters until we got back to our hometown at the start of COVID. My man immediately asked to see me again and asked if he could date me again. However, this time we decided to not even kiss to eliminate any opportunity for crossing boundaries. A couple months later he proposed to me and asked me to marry him by the end of the summer. We were engaged for only 6 weeks and it made it sooooooo much easier to not feel crazy temptation knowing I was with my future husband. We are so grateful that we waited and it has helped us to start our relationship centered AROUND GOD and not on each other. If anyone reading this is experiencing this struggle, you can ALWAYS start over! We found that it helped to take a break from each other and start with a clean slate. It was also most helpful to not even kiss since we weren't good at setting situational boundaries. It is so worth the wait and it makes it so much more special to wait.

So, we do have sex, and I want to say that, unlike my past sexual relationships outside of marriage, I don’t feel the guilt or shame. I will say that I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my faith (praying, reading my bible etc.), but, in my particular situation, I’m not sure how to fully perceive it because I know that on one hand sex outside of marriage is a sin, but on the other hand God wants us to reconcile if possible, and I’ve read through my bible once, and I’m on my second time from beginning to end and, unless I missed something, I didn’t see where it said we had to reconcile on paper to be considered husband and wife again🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyways, I just thought that I’d share my story and get some opinions outside of my own on this particular subject. 💗Jen from AK

    I ended a relationship 3 months ago because I found God and my heart shifted away from sexual sin and towards purity. What Chad was saying is so true. Sex outside of marriage isn’t real love. You love what the other person can do for you. You use them for your own physical pleasure. It’s selfish - the opposite of what love is (love is not self seeking). Seeing you two talk about this makes my heart so full of joy for when I find my future wife who also shares these values. Can’t wait to watch part 2 and part 3!

It's hard to keep your mind on track when everyone around you says you are wrong or dumb to think like that but I'm doing my best. Waiting for the right person may not seem right to some people now, but it will seem right later and it will be too late by then. The culture everywhere in the world is now to just treat humans as objects and it blows my mind. And about the songs, it's so true. It's really upsetting to see women to encourage all this.

      Don't feel bad. There is nothing wrong with making love to someone you are in love with and deeply committed to. Expressing your feelings for your beloved is a healthy and normal thing to do. There are much better things to do in life than obsess about 'staying pure'. If you have the urge, and feel you are in a place in your relationship where you are ready, do it. It is much better than repressing your feelings.

  • @bluecannibaleyes
    @bluecannibaleyes Před 3 lety +6

    I’m not a Christian, but I have always had very similar views on this. I’ve always seen it as something special to be shared with your spouse. I never understood why anyone would risk creating life with someone they had not committed to spending the rest of their life with. I hate how society paints people with our views as unhealthy or ‘suppressed’ when we’re actually the ones who have a healthy view of sex.

    Thank you guys so much for making this video. I recently came across your channel and I truly believe God uses both of you to speak very clearly, it is very connecting and empowering. Funny that I skimmed through your videos earlier this week, hoping I could find this topic being openly and honestly discussed bc I have been struggling with this for years and it has affected the relationship I have with myself, others, and God in so many levels.
    I was about to take a nap rn before my mind raced with negative thoughts and what is honestly trauma from my past and from my broken relationship with my ex. I open CZcams to clear my head with a funny video but yet this is the first one that pops up on my feed. I wasn’t expecting such powerful message but God wanted to speak.
    I’m tearing up from watching this video I just had to pause and take a moment for myself but also thank you both along the way.

But it does need to be talked more about especially to young teenagers. This is a great Video. Thank you!

      Agree. It takes time to adjust from always covering up to suddenly being naked in front of someone and from abstaining from sex to enjoying sex. Just go at your own comfortable pace but remember to communicate with your spouse about your fears and insecurities.

Girl, am praying the Lord anoints and uses your beautiful heart to share this word! Again, it will break chains.
    *Side note. I paused the video, just to quickly post this, but in listening to you, Tori, you have a VOICE. You truly do, and it is anointed. And Chad, you're such a tender-hearted man!

Like you said, it brings struggles. However, I have also been joyously amazed at the beautiful thing God has created, sex inside of marriage!!! And have become even more vocal about how good Gods plan is now that I’m married and I’m seeing the beauty of “the marriage bed is undefined” and “they were naked and unashamed” and all the the Bible has to say about sex within marriage. Thanks for speaking up and out! Like you said, our culture is FULL of sex, we need to start putting more truth about sex Gods way out there for this next generation! ❤️ Because sex is GOOD!!!! 👏🏻❤️

My husband and I have been married 23 years and we had very strong boundaries set straight from the beginning of our dating. We are so happy we had no regrets in our dating. What you said about the trust you can have for your husband after you’re married and you have to be apart sometimes resonated with me. I say the same thing to my daughters and my friends when we talk about the principles and boundaries we had when we dated. If my husband was able to be strong to wait till after marriage I can have a stronger trust in him to stay faithful to me after we’re married. God has blessed us with 23 beautiful years together! It just gets better. Life has been extremely hard for us but we are stronger because of it. God bless your channel!

      So what I mean is God meant for sex between a married man and woman to be good. God created man and woman to have sexual relationships within the bonds of marriage.

    I totally relate! My husband and I never had sex before marriage with anyone, but I did have a past of being physical and obsessed with wanting to feel wanted and it was a very empty feeling. I did not understand unconditional love and often got my faith and worldly view confused. I am so glad you spoke a bit on the reality of sex and how it is not glamorous, but in fact even better despite that. I 100% agree with all of this, and as a Christian myself that is tired of other CZcams Christians being ignorant and insensitive to those who are not of the same beliefs, I am SO relieved to see a genuinely kind couple just wanting to bring a new perspective to someone who may not have seen it that way before.

I was so lost in this topic, because it is interesting, but there is no one to talk to. Then, as a child, the Internet became the answer, which is very sad.I felt like I was doing the most embarrassing thing! my idea was that it was scary, because I was a little girl, but at school I heard all this, but not at home.Christianity has become boring for me, as if there is nothing secret, personal in it. But knowing God in my life, he changes my thinking. And I'm so truly grateful for you🙌🏼Parents did not help in this, because I do not believe that they have any kind of passion, love between each other.
    But I am glad that I can want passion with God and then with my future husband.Thank God for you, our generation needs an example like you🙌🏼🙏🏼🔥

    But generally, we stay pure to glorify God

    You guys are right about pastors and the church not dealing with this subject. What's encouraging is men like John Piper have done a lot to get Christians talking and thinking about it, about the dangers of sexual promiscuity. Another great man is Carl Truman. His recent book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self talks about how American culture became so eroticism and sexualized. Also, Rosaria Butterfield was a former lesbian who was converted and now a Christian. She's written several books about being a light for Christ before a hostile and sexualized world.

    Thank you for this conversation!! My husband and I have both said that we wished we would have had conversations like this available to us when we were growing up. We both wish that we would have been virgins when we met and married. God truly designed sex in marriage to be beautiful and amazing. These conversations are so needed!! ❤
