Living Out Podcast
Many Christians love their LGBT friends and want to engage well with issues of sexuality and identity, but aren’t sure how to do it. Join the Living Out team and guests as they tackle some of the most frequently asked questions and seek to navigate the choppy cultural waters with compassion and clarity. If you’re interested in a Christian perspective on sexuality, singleness, trans and identity and want to hear real stories from same-sex attracted Christians, this is the podcast for you. Hosted by Andrew Bunt, Ashleigh Hull, Andy Robinson, Ed Shaw and Anne Witton. Produced by Anne Witton and Dan Reid.

Misstep 5 - 'Sex is where true intimacy is found' (The Plausibility Problem #5)
The team critique our cultural idolatry of sex and romance, which has also pervaded the church. We talk about why the assumption that sex is vital for human flourishing is so damaging and look at the impact it has on friendship, singleness and marriage.
We see how the Bible challenges our cultural obsession with sex and explore how we can foster deep, non-sexual intimacy with God and others in Christian community.
