Sexuality is not a problem to solve, but a territory to reclaim.

Whether you are an experienced counselor, a pastor whose seminary training didn’t cover these questions, a lay leader who is passionate about discipleship, or a Christian parent, you can be part of reclaiming God’s design for sexuality.

Here’s how we work:

1

Understand your questions.

What questions are leaving you stumped or overwhelmed?

2

Find the right tools.

We’ll guide you to the most useful tools and resources to get you started.

3

Journey together.

Let’s grow together as you discover God’s true design for sexuality.

At this point in history, there is an undeniable opportunity for leaders to host conversations about sexuality in ways that make room for healing and restoration. The biblical wisdom, practical insights, and integrated teaching within the Sexual Discipleship resources will help leaders experience personal transformation as they dive deeply into these topics for themselves, and feel more empowered to lead others into God’s heart in a biblically grounded, Gospel centered way. I am so grateful for the team at Authentic Intimacy for providing this needed space for training, healing, and growth!
