Raising Purity

Upcoming “Pure Relationships” Workshop for Singles

November 5, 2009 | 0 Comments

For those living in the Chicago land area, I will be conducting a workshop for singles on the topic of purity and relationships.  Here’s the relevant information, and the blurb from the registration website:

In a society that has long ago abandoned any meaningful commitment to chastity and virtue, honoring God with one’s sexuality can be a daunting task. Sadly, for many Christian singles today, absolutes in the realm of sexuality have remained entirely too elusive. What exactly is purity? Can it be defined objectively? How far is too far, anyway? What are we to make of dating–should we kiss it goodbye, embrace it, or find a middle ground? Why did God create human sexuality in the first place? Our failure to find objective, biblical answers to these questions has left the church in a state of moral uncertainty. In this workshop, Pastor Gerald Hiestand offers a biblical theology of human sexuality, and provides an objective definition to the subjective concept of purity. Participants will be challenged to rethink their understanding of human sexuality in light of the image of God.

Gerald Hiestand is the author of Raising Purity: Helping Parent’s Understand the Bible’s Perspective on Sex, Dating, and Relationships, and has conducted numerous purity workshops. Gerald serves here at Harvest as an Adult Ministries Pastor and the Director of Harvest’s Adult Christian Education. He has degrees from Moody Bible Institute and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is the executive director of the Society for the Advancement of Ecclesial Theology.
