SWM 155 - Hookup Culture - When You Take Relationship Out of Sex. Check out the blog post here for more details and links.

We live in a world that has learned to separate what God never divided.

Hookup culture is the next stage of sex stripped of meaning - where bodies meet, but no one truly connects.

I’m continuing this series exploring how, when we remove aspects of God’s intent for sex, we end up with all the examples of sexual immorality we see in our world.

Last time, I tackled what removing covenant from sex gets you: sex before marriage, and the fallout from that choice.

Today, we’re going to push that even further and look at hookup culture. At first glance it might seem like sex before marriage taken to the next level - but that expansion comes with new problems.

This isn’t just the removal of covenant - it’s the removal of the relationship itself.
