Sexuality, Identity and Christianity: Who am I? Sam Allberry

Why do we often look to sex to build our sense of worth and value? Does sex bring us the fulfilment we are looking for? Is one’s sexuality too fragile to build an identity on? What is something more lasting and empowering and freeing than our sexuality to determine who we are?
