Podcast Interview: Dean Robertson, Biblical Scholar, Keynote Speaker, and Author

Hello, Loving Without Boundaries (LWB) community!

I am truly delighted to share my latest podcast interview with Dean Robertson, a retired evangelical minister, biblical scholar, and author of “Sex Was God’s Idea: An Honest Look at Biblical Sexuality And the Rightful Role of Women”. I am so glad that Dean reached out to me to inquire about having a candid and illuminating conversation on our Loving Without Boundaries podcast. I often share that I am a “recovering Catholic” having gone to Catholic school for all twelve years of my schooling. In that teaching, I was indoctrinated with many unhealthy concepts, such as sex negativity, shame around sensuality, lack of boundaries, and that “all deviant homosexuals were going to hell”, among other damaging thoughts. It was so refreshing to have a candid conversation with Dean as a Biblical scholar with highly different interpretations of the Bible (which I had attempted to read to cover to cover in my youth), spirituality, and women’s autonomy and owning their own sexuality. Dean, I am so glad that you reached out to me to have this honest, breath-of-fresh-air chat! I applaud your courageous work around sex, pleasure, owning our worth within all genders, and how it can relate beautifully to our spirituality. Keep going! I am cheering you on.
