talking 'bout porn...

an email i sent out today:

Friends...

The other week I wrote some of you & let you know that I've had the opportunity to speak several times at The Chapel recently, particularly around the topic of pornography & intimacy. Thanks to many of you who have taken some time to pray for me...your prayers have been felt & encouraging. Some of you go to The Chapel and heard me in the morning, but I thought you might be interested in talk I gave at Illuminate. Anyway, I wanted to give you the links to the two different talks that I gave so that you can take a listen if you so desire:

Reconstructing Intimacy: Intimacy with Others
I co-preached this sermon with one of our Sr. Pastors, Paul Sartarelli. The main topic I spoke on was accountability.

Reconstructing Intimacy: The Fallacy of Intimacy with Self
I shared this talk with our Illuminate service, an evening service offered at The Chapel. It's sort of a service for young people, but we really have a range of ages there. But it allows us to to be a bit more outside the box with sermon style, so it's definitely a different style of sermon that what Paul & I did in the morning. I've made a photo album on Facebook so that you can see most of the slides that I used...they're in order, but you'll have to use context clues to figure out when I was showing them : ) You can look at them here:

And the song we sang in response at the end, if you desire to really embrace the experience, was "Grace Flows Down." You can listen to it online here:

The sermon is the January 20th one found here:

I'd love to hear your feedback & thoughts on either of these. For a variety of resources we're making available along with this series, you can go to http://www.the-chapel.org/purity

Hope this finds you well...
