What's coming up? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
If you love a movie series, when the new movie series comes out, if you have the money and you have the time, you go. Why wait? It's not that big a deal. If you love a video game series, when the new one comes out, you go and buy it. Why wait? It's not that big a deal. If you love a book series, when the next installment comes out, you go out and buy it and read it. Why wait? It's not that big a deal.
So what happens if you love sex?
You don't wait for all these other things and if you really want to have sex, doesn't it seem odd to wait until you're married? Why would anyone want to do that? Is this really a big deal? Don't we know that it's just sex? We've moved past these regressive views of the past haven't we that think sex is just for marriage. Right?
My guest this Saturday says the question of why someone should wait is a good one. There's no question that people enjoy sex, so what is the big deal? Could it be for your own best interests to actually save sex for marriage? His name is Bryan Sands as someone who has been a youth minister, he understands what the struggle of our youth are with sex and we'll see what he has to say.
So who is he?

Bryan Sands served in youth ministry for thirteen years. For the past six years, he's been the director of campus ministries at Hope International University in Fullerton, CA. He now has a regular blog up at everyonelovessex.org. He and his wife Caz live with their two daughters Abigail and Lily Rose in Orange County, CA.
So if we are people who love sex and think it's wonderful, then why on Earth would we tell someone that they have to wait? We don't do that for movies and video games and books generally, so why would we do that for sex? What makes sex so different?
What damage can be done when sex is misused? If sex is so good, then how is it that it can lead to the destruction of so many lives? What is this great power of sex that it can bind a husband and wife closer together and yet it can also lead to the destruction of so many lives? How can someone who is sexually broken find healing?
What about pornography? Usually thought of as a man's problem, many more women are getting caught in pornography as well. Not only that, those who are not, such as daughters dating young men, suffer the effects of pornography due to what's happened in the minds of the men that they're dating. Porn has changed the sexual landscape.
And we could also talk about human trafficking. This is a very real problem and a lot of it comes from the pornography industry. What can we do about this problem?
We'll be talking about these kinds of questions this Saturday. I hope you'll be looking for the newest episode. I hope also it will fill you with a deep respect and admiration of the gift of sex that God created. If you're unmarried, I hope you'll renew your commitment to wait until marriage and if you are married, you'll remember the importance of sex in your marriage.
Please be looking for the new episode and leave a positive review of the Deeper Waters Podcast!
In Christ,
