The Parallel

Sonata Allisonthe-parallel.captivate.fm
Safe spaces to talk about sexuality within the church building and in the community have been scarce for a long time. In this show we will speak about a wide range of topics having to do with Christian Sexuality, from a biblical perspective, that does not condemn you but inspires you to want to love Jesus well with the way you live out your sexuality.
