If you find yourself here then I probably need to let you know how this all works. Peasant Princess is a sermon series out of Mars Hill Church in Seattle by Pastor Mark Driscoll. The series deals very candidly (though not explicitly) with marriage, sex, men, women, children and so-forth through the lens of the biblical text Song of Songs. Its ideal for married couples to view the sermon and talk about it, and then post any comments, stories or questions that seem helpful to the group. There isn't any reason that a single man or women wouldn't gain much from going through this series (nothing wrong with preventative maintenance ), though anybody under 17 might want to check with mom and dad.
The idea is that we view one sermon a week starting the first full week in January. This may look like a Friday or Saturday night or whenever, yet again it would be preferred that couples watch it together.
Look forward to seeing you all on the blog!

Hey, really enjoyed this message. It is so good that the church is talking about this topic. Recently I read a really good book, called Red Hot Monogomy, written by a Christian couple. It was to encourage Christian couples in their love life. For awhile now the world has stolen this gift from us, its time to start taking it back for God.
I think think that the first time that my wife and I were in an environment where sexuality was conversed about openly amongst Christians was at a Marriage conference at Imago Dei in Portland. It was beautiful, tactful, realistic and balanced. It was a Mennonite couple (of all things!) that lead the conference, Cliff and Joyce Penner, who have authored a number of books including The Gift of Sex and How to get Your Sex Life off to a Great Start, I've haven't read their books, but they were a great host couple for the conference.
Thanks for the head up on Red Hot Monogamy, I'll have to check it out on Amazon.
We loved it! Learned some new things about SOS...:) He did a great job of being very practical about it. I liked that he didn't super-spiritualize the book, but made it very fundamental. Good teaching, good stuff!
