Emotional Purity—Is This Even an Issue?

Ryan Swanson
Most teenagers cringe at the phrase “emotional purity” because of vague and impractical discussions that often follow. We all agree that sexual addictions need to be dealt with, but can someone really have an emotional addiction? If so, is this just an issue for women – or just for men? Is it just an issue for singles – or just for married people? This podcast marks the start of a new series here at Satisfied and will begin to answer these questions and more. Join us to discover for yourself just how severe of an issue emotional purity is.

Emotional Purity—Put Down the Pen!

Emotional Purity—Love or Lust?

Ryan Swanson
Love is one of the most misused and overused terms today, but sadly the confusion is not just outside the church.
