On March 14, 2019, we partnered with Christian student clubs at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University to put on an event titled “Let’s Talk About Sex” during their Jesus Week campaign. The event consisted of three short lectures on topics related to sexuality followed by a Q&A. The audio for each of the lectures as well as the Q&A is below.
