Imagine someone throwing you into the ocean and you gotta stay dry.

Coming to you from Silver Spring, Maryland, welcome to Inverse, a Bible-based conversation on life principles, contemporary issues, and thought-provoking perspectives.

Now here's your host, Justin Kim, with Inverse.

Hey friends, my name is Justin Kim and you are on Inverse.

And in the studio with me are my friends Jonathan, Sebastian, and Callie.

And we've been talking about biblical sexuality for the last 12 weeks and today is the last episode on this topic.

So we want to encourage you to if you haven't watched go to hope TV dot org slash inverse and catch up binge watch and we can we were there the highs and the lows and then we covered some funky stuff, funky topics and very, very good topics.

Also, go to inversebible.org where you can actually download the Bible study guides as well.

We are looking at the topic of purity, purity.

They can take our lies, but they can take our freedom.

Well, if you're watching from Scotland, you can let me know how my accent is.

If you recognize the accent, you can tell me where it's coming from, but I'm saying the word purity like it's...

All right, So let's go to Genesis chapter 39.

We'll cover looking at the topic of purity and we'll have a prayer.

Heavenly Father, we just thank you so much that we can laugh and that we can have joy as we study your word.

Lord, we wanna invite you to bless our study, that you will help us understand some of the principles that you've given us, not just us, but all of us watching and studying with us as well.

And thank you, Lord, that you are the Lord of holiness and purity and that you have a plan for all of us in this direction.

Lord, we commit ourselves to you now and invite you in Jesus' name.

Sebastian, what are some highlights that you remember from this season as you look back on the last 12 weeks?

Well, I think definitely the Song of Solomon about marital sexuality and oneness definitely sticks out.

And also the episode we did on when things go wrong.

I think we live in a world where that's very familiar.

And so understanding not only God's parameters for divorce, but the fact that it's not always the only alternative.

We have covered these really high ideals.

But we also brought them pretty real down, down, down earth.

And seeing how they, some ideals work well and some really don't.

And we see how to, how to live in that tension.

And scripture still needs to prevail, but sometimes it takes a little bit more time and a little bit of whatnot.

Tenderness of heart, right, as Siku would put it.

So I think those were some highlights, And overall, I think it's just great to have walked away with some really practical principles that kind of expose different perversions and diversions away from...

So, I think that that is so useful and practical because in reality, in 13 weeks, like you're not going to be able to address every question, every dynamic and minute situation that may emerge.

But having some principles to really identify and apply to your situation will tease out some guidance that I think will help people through some very complex situations that, you know, as our world changes.

Depending on your constitution, you may be in a world where sexuality is everywhere.

You're bombarded with it, and you're maybe here in an ocean of sexuality, or you may be of a culture where you have, this is the first time you've ever encountered this, you can't believe that there is a Bible show talking about sexuality, and this is a shock to you.

And we find that Bible, the Bible, scripture, talks a lot about sexuality, and it is part of the human condition, especially on this side of heaven.

And we wanna look at some principles on how to navigate, especially in our tech-heavy and media-saturated, image-saturated world, and with all these relationships that are around us, What are some practical, this is gonna be a very practical episode on how to maintain your Christian purity and your, you guys are laughing, your virginity and your concepts of pureness in this world.

So let's go to Genesis 39 and go to verse 7.

Genesis 39 verse 7 and Kelly, can you read it for us?

And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.

But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.

There is no 1 greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me, but you, because you are his wife.

How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?

So it was, Ashley spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her to lie with her or to be with her.

But it happened about this time when Joseph went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment saying, lie with me.

But he left his garment in her hand and fled and ran outside.

And so it was when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them saying, see, he has brought into us a Hebrew to mock us.

He came into me to lie with me and I cried out with a loud voice.

And it happened when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled and went outside.

This is 1 of the Joseph narrative is 1 of some people's favorite parts of scripture.

This is 1 of the crazy stories of Joseph.
