About the event
As a Rabbi, Jesus instructed his followers to be perfect as he was perfect, meaning "whole" or "mature". In a sense, Jesus was saying, "Be perfect, like a ripe piece of fruit," not "Be perfect like flawless grammar." In society, particularly in faith communities, you have likely felt the pressure to look and think in a perfect grammatical way with your sexuality. This is an unhelpful invitation to bury your disordered desires and sexual wounds at the cost of listening to them and transforming your longings. Underneath every disordered desire is a wound and a holy desire. God wants maturity not just for your holiness but also for your delight. We are all sexual beings and sexuality is inherently vulnerable. We all have been sexually wounded and often we wound each other. Wherever you are at on this journey Christ wants to bring healing and deeper fulfillment. Jesus wants to heal and elevate our sexuality for MORE passion and relational intimacy, not LESS.
