What credibility rating woud you give Christianity as a source of wisdom about sexuality or finance? Do you feel the Bible holds wisdom the world needs, or are you inclined to think of biblical teachings about money and sex as outdated? It is a common and understandable response to the moral failings of Church leaders, to throw out the credibility of the whole tradition. However, Paul, in his letter to the early Church across Asia Minor, provides very specific counsel about how we are to respond to sexual and financial immorality by Christians, especially leaders. In Ephesians 5.1-20 he outlines why God does not want or expect us to partner with people who are unsafe to be with romatically or financially. He then provides a vision for cutting unhealthy relationship ties and continuing to walk with Jesus, step by step.  Podcast be Heather Cetrangolo, 12 October 2025
