What happens when we find ourselves facing a temptation or battle? Well, God provided us with an answer! As Joseph did with the wife of Potiphar and David did with Goliath, we are to prepare for the moment. If we do this and forget about ourselves, we are able to win those battles and find a way out.

While the title may sound deceiving, it is not a battle between male and female. This new series involves dealing with a worldly idea of sex versus a Heavenly one, a Battle of the Sexes, if you will. Why is sex such a struggle for most people? This episode, we try to put it all in a different perspective and explain why God made sex the way He did.

It's a wrap! We looked at Romans 12:2, which speaks of a world image. What then is our image to look like? Romans 8:29 answers that question by informing us that we are to be in the image of Christ, a total opposite of the worldly image. How is this done? By a transformation of the mind, an extreme makeover that leads to the true iDeal.

Clifton Curry, youth minister at Glenville Baptist Church in Wichita, KS, contributes his thoughts as we move into the fourth part of our series. We look at why most of us often want Jesus in our life but not in our lifestyle. Sometimes we create self-inflicted pain by striving for what society calls ideal, so we dive into Ecclesiastes this episode to drive home the point that God wants everyone to enjoy and rejoice in life.

This week we clarified the difference between entertainment and escapism. Several new areas, such as work-a-holics and sports addicts, were brought into the conversation. Many of these things can be a way for one to escape the reality of a flawed relationship, including our relationship with Christ. Our challenge this week is for us to take the time to look at our lives as God sees us. We looked at I Samuel 16:7 and explained how God looks at the heart.

This week we extend the conversation about the ideal situation and discuss how it affects you.  Do you bend your moral standards to be more like the ideal?  What do you escape to when in fact your situation is not ideal?  We visit Psalm 139:13-17 and try to answer these questions and more as we cover the three areas of intellect, economical level and physique.

This episode introduced our series titled iDeal or No Deal. We discuss areas in which we are apt to measure ourselves with our peers; those 4 areas include our physique, family, economic level and intellect. Who is to determine what is the standard in our life? We dive into II Corinthians to answer that question and discuss ways we can look beyond the worldly definition of iDeal.
