Let’s talk about Genesis 3. You know, the moment everything fell apart. The snake. The fruit. The choice. The ache that’s been rippling through humanity ever since.

At Christ-Centered Sexuality, we believe that what happened in Eden didn’t just break a rule—it broke us. It fractured our connection to God, to each other, and even to ourselves. And yes—that includes our sexuality.

Here’s the short version of what we believe:

Humanity was created good. We were designed for wholeness, communion with God, and joyful intimacy with one another. Everything in Genesis 1–2 points to a world brimming with goodness, purpose, and beauty—including our bodies, our relationships, and our sexuality.

But we rebelled. Out of our own free will, we turned away from the God who made us. We rejected His authority, His goodness, and His design. And that rejection? It didn’t just result in bad consequences. It corrupted our very nature.

Now we’re broken. The Fall didn’t just tweak our behavior—it damaged every part of who we are. That includes our minds, our desires, our bodies, our relationships, and yes—our sexual longings. We’re no longer the kind of people who can have the kind of relationship with God that He intended. We lost the ability to be whole on our own.

We’re all under sin. Not just some of us. Not just “those people.” All of us. We’re born into a world already bent out of shape, and we carry that distortion in our own hearts. That means we’re all in the same boat: deeply in need of redemption, and completely incapable of earning it.

And this is where things get real—because when it comes to human sexuality, the Fall explains a lot.

It explains why our desires don’t always line up with God’s design.
It explains why intimacy can feel both beautiful and confusing.
It explains why we carry shame, ache, longing, and misdirected hope.
It explains why even when we want to honor God, we often feel torn.

Our sexual brokenness is not the problem. It’s a symptom of the deeper fracture: that we’re not whole anymore. And we can’t fix that by sheer willpower, good behavior, or pretending we’re fine.

But here’s the hope:

Jesus came to do what we couldn’t.
To take our corrupted nature and make it new.
To heal what’s been fractured.
To restore what was lost.
To make us whole again.

So when we talk about sexuality at CCS, we’re not just handing out rules or pointing fingers. We’re trying to take seriously both the depth of our brokenness and the depth of God’s redeeming love. We believe our sexuality matters—not because it defines us, but because it reveals how deeply we need Jesus to make us new.
