Welcome!

We are so excited to bring this Gospel Centered Sexuality conversation to you!  May God be glorified by the work of our hands!

FMM is 100% donor supported.  Please consider financially supporting our work; pray that God would give us increasing wisdom and boldness as we move through these uncharted waters.  Pray for the body of Christ to welcome this conversation.  Our work is growing and we need volunteers.  Lastly, we encourage you to share FMM, and its work, with your sphere of influence.

It starts with a conversation – yours.

“when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” ~ Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Please keep in mind that FMM’s videos are delivered in a recovery or restorative framework.  For the purpose of forming Gospel Centered Sexuality (GCS), please view the videos with a preventative mindset.  The content listed below has been selected to establish an understanding of GCS and the necessity of maintaining healthy intimacy skills for cleansing conversations throughout life.

AGENDA: During class Friday evening, we will review key points from the content.  Saturday and Sunday we will watch the main videos together and pause for discussion along the way.  Saturday’s discussion time will include practicing the Reflective Listening exercise to begin modeling emotional resilience in the home.  Would you please help us develop relevant content by completing this GCS Pre – Event Survey

Recommended assignment for each video:

• Watch the video and make a note of three things that stood out to you.
• How does this information impact you personally?
• List two ways this information can be used in service to others?
