Title: Dr. Jerry Chip MacGregor – “Interview on Sex”
Dr. MacGregor is interviewed by Ron, a student, in regards to Christian sexual behaviour. This is part of a multi-day lecture series. Chip collected anonymous questions from the student body. He addresses the concepts of how far is too far, loneliness, guilt, abstinence, forgiveness, masturbation, what to do if a couple crosses the line sexually, and the spirituality of sex. He provides three keys to integrating spirituality and sexuality: a dynamic relationship with God, drawing standards outside the heat of the moment, and discussing standards as a couple. To recover, he recommends discussing faltering with God, reestablishing relationship with God, and correcting the behaviour. Finally, he discusses the effects of sexual abuse. [MacGregor served as Associate Vice President of Student Life at TWU in the early 1990s. He has also been a pastor, author, and literary agent.]
