From cohabitation to adultery to transexual ideology, this world makes it tough to hold to and even to talk about biblical sexual mores. Sometimes, we can even be tempted to compromise on what the Bible teaches about sexuality. Let's take a look at what Scripture has to say about standing - unashamed - for the whole gospel of Christ.  Show Notes:  https://awordfitlyspoken.life/podcast/unashamed-standing-firm-on-a-biblical-sexual-ethic/ Thank you, bless you and Walk Worthy!...2025-04-2338 minA Word Fitly SpokenA Word Fitly SpokenConversations on the Ark: Angela Mitchell We had a wonderful time speaking at the Answers in Genesis Answers for Women conference with some amazing sisters in Christ at the Ark Encounter.
