Ep.19 All Wrapped Up: 'My Thoughts & A Recap on the Dangers of Premarital Sex (2)'

Episode Summary

In  this All Wrapped Up episode, I do a recap of what stood out for me from this week's episodes. I bring everything together from a Biblical perspective and answer some of the questions posed by a listener who wonders why she's still bound by the effects of the sexual relationships she had a decade ago. 

Key Takeaways

• A lot of persons are walking around with emotional scars and may not know it or know but have done nothing about it (1:12)
• Peer pressure can push us to sin/engage in premarital sex (2:00)
• Emotional wounds will cause us to seek validation from the wrong sources, including sexual partners (2:13)
• The emotional wounds are sometimes so deep that they entrap us and we end up wearing them as a badge (5:07)
• Our fears, insecurities and unhealthy relationships are a result of us not dealing with our emotional wounds (8:16)
• Premarital sex is usually the result of some root problem (11:46)

Top Quotes

• If  you are not being healed it means that...you have either gotten to the  place where you are holding on to it and owning it and that's not what  God wants for you (5:22)
• Once  we start the sin a wound is created and it attracts other sins. It's  like, you just can't help yourself, you know, it spirals and it  multiplies (7:02)
• A  soul prospers when it is healthy, when the wounds are healed, when the  sin is dealt with, when the bad thoughts are dealt with, when we get  under control (10:06)
• I  think we need to start to look at our root causes, root causes What is  it in our lives? And then we have to start to tackle them now and plug  those holes and heal those wounds (14:50)
• Some of us get ill. We don't know we're ill, it's not affecting us. And then eventually, we see that we weren't fine (19:24)
