Episodes

Genesis 6: When Sex Becomes a Cosmic Problem | Ep. 155 07.10.2026

Genesis 6 gets weird fast. The sons of God. The daughters of men. The Nephilim. A world so corrupted that God grieves what humanity has become. But what does any of this have to do with sex, and why should it matter to us now? In this episode of The Naked Gospel, Wailer and Adena step into one of Scripture’s strangest passages and explore the possibility that Genesis 6 gives us a glimpse into a mu...

Genesis 4–5: Temptation, Porn, and Lasting Freedom | Ep. 154 23.09.2026

What does it actually mean to “rule over” sin when temptation feels overwhelming? Continuing their journey through Genesis, Wailer and Adena move into Genesis 4 and 5 to examine Cain, temptation, desire, and the devastating consequences of allowing sin to take control. God’s warning to Cain, “sin is crouching at the door... but you must rule over it”, raises an important question for anyone who ha...

Genesis 3: The Fall, the Curse, and God's Better Story | Ep. 153 09.09.2026

Genesis 2: The Marriage Story Hidden in Genesis | Ep. 152 26.08.2026

What does Genesis 2 really teach about men, women, and marriage? As Wailer and Adena continue their walk through Genesis, they move beyond familiar interpretations and uncover the deeper story woven into humanity's creation. Together they explore why Adam was formed outside the garden, what Eve's creation reveals about feminine strength, and how marriage reflects God's own nature. Along the way, t...

Genesis 1: Reclaiming God's Design | Ep. 151 12.08.2026

What if sexuality isn't merely a biological reality or a moral issue? What if it's one of the clearest ways God reveals Himself through humanity? In this episode, Wailer and Adena begin their journey through Scripture's teaching on sexuality by returning to the very beginning—Genesis 1. Together they explore God's first command to humanity, the meaning of being made male and female in the image of...

Welcome to The Naked Gospel 22.07.2026

What if the conversation around sexuality has been missing the most important piece?
