Episode Summary iEcclesia concludes a two part episode on an important topic that effects everyone, particularly teenagers and young adults. Host Patricia Rakopoulos and guest Dr. Albert Rossi tackle this difficult issue from the Christian Orthodox perspective as well as from a psychological perspective. The show begins by discussing how we can take on a better image of sex considering the many temptations that are present in today's society as well as in ourselves. Dr Rossi offers a very poignant personal example on how feelings and temptations are very much a struggle and that we have to battle almost daily against them. Also discussed is the issue of masturbation and its effects from a spiritual perspective. The show wraps up with final thoughts from our host as well as from our guest.
