Church & Sexuality

Masturbation— is it a sin? How come the Bible does not directly state anything about it? Come with me as I explore another aspect of sex that tends to make the church uncomfortable because of the lack of clarity around if it is actually okay to do--in the right situation, or if it is against God's original design and intention for sex in any capacity. Let's talk about sex, the solo way!  Streaming Platforms: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Om3NQQy9XtWUHlAX77bMd...

As much as we love to talk about it, we also like to pretend that we aren't having it. But, let's just be honest and go where the religious people won't! Here you are: saved, single, and HORNY. Which isn't the problem-- yet how do you keep yourself from falling into the temptation that the Bible says He would provide a way of escape for? Is celibacy actually realistic in today's world for Christians? And is abstinence even desired in this generation today?

Is Christianity really "the white man's religion"? There are so many thoughts around Christianity's place in the lives of Black Americans and in some ways Black people have steered away from these practices that carried many of their ancestors through the days of slavery and hardships with hymns of worship to the very savior that some deny. So-- let's keep talking about it! Join me as I explore religion further and dispel various myths around the Gospel of Jesus Christ, real Christians, and who God really is!  "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."  -John 8:31-32 Streaming Platforms: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Om3NQQy9XtWUHlAX77bMd...

Who do you worship? This is a very touchy subject-- from God, to the universe, to African Spirituality...we all have a belief, even if it's the belief that nothing actually exists. These belief systems shape who we are, how we view ourselves in society, and how we operate on a daily basis. Join me as I explore what most people try to stay away from. And I offer no apology for my apologetics! Let's get it! Current Streaming Platforms: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Om3NQQy9XtWUHlAX77bMd...

Church Hurt is a very real thing and yes, at some point, we have all been wounded. Sometimes-- the cycle is more frequent than it needs to be and often times there is no real admittance of fault, but one day, you finally get to a place of seeking wholeness. However, what do you when it happens again while you're healing and/or trying to heal? Let's talk about it! Is it always the church--or is it sometimes our unconscious covenant with trauma?

Sometimes it's implicit, sometimes it's explicit, but almost EVERY time is strategic and intentional. Black women are subjected to being forced into subordinate roles in comparison to their male counterparts--heck, some cannot even be next to a man on the pulpit. Comparisons equivalent to that of wicked, seductive, and manipulative. It is demanded that women stay in their roles-- especially in church. But-- I believe enough is enough! Girls just wanna have fun too! Join me as I explore the hypermasculinity, sexism, misogyny, and gender role expectations that exist within the Black Church.  Current Streaming Platforms:  SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Om3NQQy9XtWUHlAX77bMd...  APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../truth-be-bold/id1632981913  ANCHOR: https://anchor.fm/.../episodes/truth-Be-BOLD-Trailer-e1fssa4  STITCHER: https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?c=sharelink&af_dp=stitcher://episode/204616124&af_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/episode/204616124&deep_link_value=stitcher://episode/204616124  GOOGLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.google.com/.../aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vc...  Follow me for the latest updates on coming episodes!  IG: @iam_leche  Podcast  IG: @truthbebold_podcast  TikTok: @chetheblackeducator

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"-- it's a part of the gay church culture. Use the gift, shun the vessel. Call them "dykes" and "sissies" but hop in their DMs. Homosexuality hidden behind homophobia. All in the name of Jesus. But is THAT who He really is?  Current Streaming Platforms:   SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Om3NQQy9XtWUHlAX77bMd...   APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../truth-be-bold/id1632981913   ANCHOR: https://anchor.fm/.../episodes/truth-Be-BOLD-Trailer-e1fssa4   STITCHER: https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?c=sharelink&af_dp=stitcher://episode/204616124&af_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/episode/204616124&deep_link_value=stitcher://episode/204616124   GOOGLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.google.com/.../aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vc...   Follow me for the latest updates on coming episodes!   IG: @iam_leche  Podcast  IG: @truthbebold_podcast   TikTok: @chetheblackeducator

It is not a secret that the church tends to avoid the topic of sexuality, even though a part of who we are as humans consists of being sexual in nature at some point in life. However, sexuality is not as black and white as it is believed to be and more importantly, choosing not to have these conversations and moments of transparency have resulted in a severe misunderstanding of oneself and the world around.

Allow me to reintroduce myself!! Join me as I journey back to my childhood and adolescent years of growing up in church, being molested, and the death of a father that adversely affected my ability to cultivate any healthy relationships with the opposite sex. Experiences that ultimately led me to spending over a decade creating an identity rooted in confusion, rejection, and abandonment. But-- what happens when a lesbian encounters the love and sovereignty of a holy God?  Stay tuned...this is only Part 1.
