Marriage and family is not the ultimate goal in life; oneness with Jesus is. We need each other–including singles–in growing together in oneness with Him.
Lust absolutely cripples us as men and women of God. In fact, it in tangles us in a net that prohibits us from being able to freely bear God’s image throughout all of creation. Jesus invites us into a communal relationship not only with God himself, but with other brothers and sisters who are experiencing Holy Spirit power transform their inner life.
Did you know a man can avoid pornography all his life and still live in sexual bondage? Here are four signs you are not sexually free as well as four signs that you are.
A few weeks ago I sat down with a long-time family friend and casual mentor of mine, Merle Burkholder, to discuss men taking responsibility for their own sexuality.
A few posts back, I asked the question “Do we have a male-dominated expression of faith?” Particularly, has the Anabaptist subculture neglected to make space for women to put into practice their faith in active and engaging ministry? In this post, I’m going to share a few thoughts I have as I observe Scripture and what it says about women and their role in the church.
What is a woman’s role in church? What place are women given in faith communities today? What place should they be given? Do men dominate the faith scene in America? These are the questions we’re diggin’ to answer in this post.
What can women do (or not do) in church? What is their role? Can they speak? Can they lead worship? Can they teach? Can they be pastors? In this Patron-sponsored post, I share three observations from my church experience and scripture about a woman’s role in church.
The last few articles I’ve been releasing mini glimpses into the content of my upcoming book Live Free – making sense of male sexuality. The book is a conversation about my own journey and what it means to live sexually whole and free as a man. This book is for men, by a man.
But I wanted to pause and acknowledge that lust isn’t just a man’s problem. Women struggle with it too.
What if you find yourself in a relationship where you both connect, it seems as though you both like each other, but you’re not sure. How do you know if the other wants more? And if you’re the girl, how do you go about finding that out? Should you have a “define the relationship” talk?
In this post I share a few pieces of advice, from my experience, that I believe can be incredibly helpful to those caught in this kind of situation.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
