In this series we have seen how sex, our sexes, and marriage are all part of God’s design to communicate his desire for relationship with us, but what if we know we’ve missed the mark? What if our sexuality has been tainted, abused, or even broken? “Does My Brokenness Matter?” – part 5 of 6 in our Biblical Sexuality Series - will begin to address these questions and set you on a path for wholeness in Christ.
