We Are All Searching For Meaning.

Right now, let’s take notice. For this next half hour together, let’s be aware of that need deep inside you. And this time, let’s promise to not look away but to be present and understanding because you are a person of great worth. 

Your habit of turning to pornography or hooking up is more than an unwanted sexual behavior. That pattern in your life is connected to a desire for worth. But searching for a sense of calling is not limited to just you. 

Googling “How do I find purpose,” comes in with more than 10,880,000,000 results. We are all searching for meaning.

Sometimes, that lack of mission can become a trigger for unwanted sexual behaviors. On this episode, Josh and Kit ask important questions while coaching you through taking time to listen for your own answers. Fruitfulness is attached to our sexuality. Futility can take that sideways into things like porn and more. 

Beloved one, there is a tension between the fruitful and futile. Let’s explore and learn together on this episode of “Becoming Whole.”

Highlights:

When we’re struggling with sin, we’re searching for something. We’re searching for some foundation, some meaning.

It’s built into us to be pursuing meaning and fruitfulness in our lives

Going to pornography, maybe even the type of pornography you choose can create a sense of having power

Homework:

• Rather than vilify the unwanted sexual behaviors you’re looking to; Let’s stop and figure out the WHY. Ask yourself: What is my fantasy pointing me to? Now that you’ve named it, what do you do with it?
• Can you receive this message from God today: I value you so much as a beloved son or as a beloved daughter. You are free to take risks, to experience, to try, to fall to get back up. Because I want your life to have meaning. I’ve created you for meaning, with meaning.
• Today, think of one way You can live with purpose.  Think simple - a phone call, a written note, etc.
