In this episode we discuss whether our sexualities are something we're born with or whether our childhood development and cultural influences play a part in shaping our desires.
We also talk about some of the damage that can be done if we follow all our innate desires, and discuss the doctrine of original sin and what that means for us. And we point to the goodness of God in helping us understand what's best for us.
