In the realm of Christian communities, certain topics are shrouded in silence, veiled under layers of discomfort and restraint. One such topic, often considered taboo and rarely addressed, is intimacy and sexuality for single Christians, especially those who have experienced the complex journey of divorce. While the teachings emphasize abstinence and purity, real-life experiences and needs can challenge these ideals. In this brave exploration, we dive deep into the topic that many tiptoe around – sex and the single Christian post-divorce.
Breaking the Silence
In a world where conversations about sex are often reserved for hushed whispers or confined to the confines of marital sanctity, the UnYoked Podcast takes a bold step forward. We open the closet, shed light on the intimate realities of single Christians, and provide a safe space to discuss the often-unspoken challenges and desires. This is not a sermon or a dogmatic discourse. It’s a candid, open conversation that ventures where few have dared to tread.
The Unspoken Struggles
The journey of life after divorce can be a winding road filled with unexpected emotions and desires. Questions arise: How does one reconcile their faith with their longing for intimacy? Is it possible to address these needs while upholding Christian values? Our podcast episode is not here to impose judgments but to provide insights, guidance, and support for those navigating the complex terrain of post-divorce intimacy.

Our world constantly tells us to “do what feels good”, especially when it comes to issues related to sexuality. Sadly, this mind-set always leads to guilt, pain, and heartache. And yet, in the gospel, there is good news for the sexually broken.
Pointing listeners to the grace of Jesus Christ, longtime counselor and teacher David Powlison offers hope for both the sexually immoral and the sexually victimized: all brokenness will one day be transformed. This book casts a vision for restoration that is better than what the world offers – not just fresh resolve, not just flimsy forgiveness, but true, lasting mercy from God, who is making all things new.
