Despite sexuality being part of our human makeup, we don’t talk about it, and instead there is often shame around sex & sexuality. However, God made sex, God made sex good, and there is a whole erotic love poem in the Bible. And as we will come to see, the connection between sex & spirituality is deeply interwoven in the scriptures. To do this, we are going to talk with a sexologist who is also a Christian: Sandra Basham.
Sandra is a Christian, and an accredited pastor for the Foursquare Church of Western Australia. A practising counsellor, and is also a qualified forensic sexologist. She is currently undertaking Phd to further her research into sexology. She has a private practice where she specialises in sexual trauma and abuse, and relational sexual problems. Previously, she has been a senior lecturer in humanities and social science, and was previously on the board for the Western Australian sexology society. She also knows quite a bit of Hebrew, and you’ll hear her incorporate Hebrew into the topic as it pertains today.
