New Sunday, originally uploaded by Relevant Church, Tampa.

So we are a week into the 30-Day Sex Challenge and we have just begun a new Sunday. As I write, we are in the midst of our second service of the day and the room is packed with people who are working through the challenge - some married, some single, both learning their individual needs and how to meet the needs of the person they are in relationship with. There are also many people here that are searching for who God is and what He may want to say in their lives.

It occurred to me as Paul was speaking on “Your Way. Right Away.”, that so much of our understanding and recognition of who we truly are and what our deepest emotional needs are is innately linked to who God is, how He designed us and what He has done for us. I believe that is the ultimate starting point for us to be able to find value in our selves, our singleness and any relationship that we have.

I’m taking the challenge - Mike

We just received this from Mike

I have had some interesting conversations with work colleagues and friends alike on this challenge of ours. Every person I have talked to seems to have the same question for the singles challenge, “How can you truly progress in a relationship without knowing about such a large part of the relationship with physical and sexual chemistry?” Having been a sexually active single adult male, I have to admit that the thought had crossed my mind. Recently, prior to the 30-day sex challenge, I decided to leave sex out of the scenario and really focus on the woman I was interested in. I have discovered, at least in my own life, that I rushed to see how compatible I was sexually with my past relationships rather than truly getting to know the person I was with and deciding if we were really compatible as a couple.

If you haven’t considered giving this challenge a try I would highly recommend it. All there is to lose is 30 days of some hibidty-dibity, but if you have the results that I have had then you might be surprised to see how truthful you can be with yourself about your relationships. What I mean by that is simple. Before, I took this step of leaving sex out, I had been in several long term relationships where sex had been more of a focus than honestly looking at our personal differences to see if our relationship could stand on it’s own two feet without one of us having to be on our back. Good Luck.

Our favorite news story so far

We have had multiple news outlets cover our challenge.  The best one so far was from Mike and Juliet in the morning on FOX.  It was about an 11 minute piece, and we feel they did an excellent job of telling the whole story.  The hosts even appeared to know the material we were presenting, which was awesome.  Go here to check it out!

As you are probably aware, we have had tons of media coverage lately. Whether it’s the front page of the TBT or a national story running on fox news, people are paying attention. We couldn’t be happier, because the more people paying attention, the more relationships change for the better. If you’d like to keep tabs on what’s being said, just go to our youtube page.
