Episode 142: No, Christians Don't Always have Better Marriages and Sex Lives--a response to Josh Howerton

Send a text

Last month Josh Howerton, lead pastor at Lakepointe Church in Dallas, wrote a Twitter thread sharing research with 5 reasons Christians are doing better than the media gives us credit for. Matt Chandler, head of The Acts29 Network and lead pastor at The Village Church, retweeted it.
The problem? The research he uses doesn’t say what he says it says.

Links to things mentioned:

Josh Howerton's article
The Institute for Family Studies report that he references
Knix in Canada
The Great Sex Rescue
The Gilad study that found that religious women had difficulties with domestic violence
The Life Saving Divorce analyzing what the Institute for Family Studies found about religiosity and abuse
