Welcome! Yes, everyone is welcome.

At Sexual Wholiness, NakID Ministries offers a place of community discussion where we will all get to talk about sticky subjects regarding our sexuality in Jesus. Part of the name of NakID involves our identity — our identity in Jesus, our sexual identity, our culture, and others. Is sex enough to define us? Is Jesus someone we can identify with? Why is sexuality important to who we are, and in what ways is it sometimes unimportant? What does it mean to have sexual desires as a Christian?


We hope that this becomes a place of community discussion, not a read-only blog. You can comment anonymously or publicly, where you and your thoughts will be treated with respect and care.


Love and delight,

Sexual Wholiness writers

When I Came to Biola

I just want to say that I did not sign up for this. I’ve been among the Church my entire life, but my biblical knowledge had only been stretched as far as: “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so…” So when I came to Biola, I had no intention of finding the most controversial topic on campus, grabbing it by the horns and dealing with it head on. The last thing I wanted was to be at a school that has a tendency towards homophobia, to have one of my best friends at Biola identifying as bisexual, and realize that God was calling me to stop hiding behind the scenes and start speaking up for people who have been thrown in a closet and told they can’t come out until they change.

Before I really had a notion of what God was calling me to do, He broke me. I felt like I was going insane. I was crying around three or four times a day, I was constantly pissed at people, and I had no idea what to do about it. After some time I found out there was someone on campus that could be a great help to some of the crazy ideas I had floating around in my head. I had lunch with Atticus, and even though he was still mostly closeted at that time, and I happened to be a naïve, straight, baby Christian, we decided it was time to do something on Biola’s campus.

On that day when Atticus and I decided to start this ministry, we embarked. We began a journey that we only had a vision for; we had no experience or true understanding of what we were attempting to undertake. We were both scared. To begin something so controversial—and for me, having such a young walk with the Lord—I felt like there was no way I could do this. And really, I’m straight. How does this even impact me? So I would try to walk away from it, and through many strange circumstances I was shown that I really had no choice. My brothers and sisters were hurting; I had to be someone who was willing to try, even if I didn’t have all the answers.

As we planned this semester, I am overwhelmed by how God has prepared me to be a leader in this ministry. Sure, He still hasn’t given me all the answers, not even close. I have spent many a night rattling my brain and trying to answer the toughest questions out there. But I find no rest there. I do, however, find rest in a community where we work together to be the body of Christ. But this takes each person resisting the temptation of letting fear grab hold of them, and instead, willing themselves to embark with the rest of us. It takes courage to be a part of and commit to a community of sinners. You have to be humble and be willing to look at your own sin in the face. But you also get the opportunity to find the kind of acceptance we all desire, just for being a human made in God’s image. So I am asking you, whoever you are, to step out in faith and know that we are a community that seeks Truth in love. 

Embark with us.
