Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“In this present moment when we are experiencing a cultural free-fall from Gods Word, both in public life and in many sectors of the church, this resource provides a much-needed voice to declare Gods unchanging purposes and design for the exercise of the sexual gifts he has given to us as those created in his image. The format lends itself to classes, small groups, and Biblical counseling instruction; and the content is presented in such a way as to encourage thoughtful reflection, meditation, and profitable discussion. Gods Design for Sexuality is an important resource as we seek to be faithful in our ministry and callings.”
Tom Sullivan
Pastor of Seven Springs Presbyterian Church, Glade Spring, VA; ACBC Certified Biblical Counselor; adjunct faculty, Graham Bible College
“Being conversationally comfortable with the subjects of sex and sexual identity is difficult for many Christians. But in our modern culture, it is a vital part of discipleship and cultural engagement. As Martin Luther said, If you preach the gospel in all aspects with the exception of the issues that deal specifically with your time, you are not preaching the gospel at all. Harvest USA has put together an excellent curriculum to equip you to understand these subjects well so we can engage your culture effectively.”
Brad Hambrick

“God's Design for Sexuality in a Changing Culture is an accessible tool that builds up the Church to think biblically about sexuality. The video platform and discussion guide provide a natural pathway for engaging in meaningful discussion around this critical topic.”

“As a counselor, I am grateful to send countless individuals to Harvest USA for help. Harvests biblical approach is insightful and clarifying. It sustains the weight of a persons sorrow and has the power to break the enslavement of sexual sin. Gods Design for Sexuality now comes to us. Although this resource targets Sunday schools and small groups, my hope is that it would reach into counseling offices and Christian homes alike. I guarantee that it will be on hand in both of mine.”

Sometimes, in matters of sexuality, it feels like the church has pitched its tent in the middle of a landslide. Heres helpsolid, realistic, authentic, and biblical.”

“Messages regarding human sexuality abound in every area of todays culture. This video series provides an invaluable tool for discipleship in the local church. Each lesson examines a different aspect of this pervasive cultural issue in the light of biblical truth. Church leaders who desire to help Gods people address the issue of sexuality with gospel integrity will find this video series a necessary part of their discipleship ministry.”
Stephen T. Estock
Coordinator, PCA Committee on Discipleship Ministries
“Harvest USA understands the enormous significance of God making us sexual beings and the consequences that follow when sin disrupts our sexual desires. How much more amplified are the consequences to society when culture rejects God's authority over creation and sexuality. God's Design for Sexuality in a Changing Culture is a sturdy resource that will equip churches to be ambassadors of truth, grace, and freedom in a culture that's awash in sexual confusion.”
Andrew T. Walker
Director of Policy Studies, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, author of God and the Transgender Debate
