Lest anyone was unsure just exactly how liberal and wicked Sojourners had become, the magazine and now website which was founded by theologian Jim Wallis and offers daily commentary and reporting from a progressive perspective, we’ve been given a pretty good idea.
While typically seen simply as a website/ movement that is economically leftist and socially centrist, talking about poverty, climate change, and student loan forgiveness from an evangelicalism perspective, Sojourners, or Sojo, is in actuality a cauldron of moral relativism and satanism. It is rife with op-eds from hellbound pagans embracing the wickedness of the culture while promulgating every sort of aberrant teaching unless the sun, particularly when it comes to LGBTQ issues, abortion, and sexual moral relativism.
Case in point: a recent article by Jennifer Martin. According to her bio:
“Jennifer C. Martin is a dirtbag Christian and a polyamorous writer living in Richmond, Va., with two of her three partners and two children. When she’s not trolling on social media, she enjoys baking, yoga, and gaming. She graduated from Lee University in 2009 and is now a member of the United Church of Christ.

Martin writes a book review of Washington Post columnist Christine Emba’s Rethinking Sex: A Provocation, where Emba argues that the trivializing of sex and a consent-only approach to it has been damaging to society, and instead it ought to be joyous, celebratory, and have certain boundaries. Emba is a former nondenominational evangelical who later converted to Catholicism, and argues that for sex to be healthy, it ought to affirm gender roles, reject casual sex, keep the kink to a bare minimum, if at all, be monogamous, and that there must be limitations on it.
SoJo author Martin basically rejects all of that. She disputes the notion that healthy sex has really any boundaries at all, writing “I don’t think we need limitations in order to have good sex” and “we ultimately differ on what constitutes healthy sex.” This is because Martin has given herself over to every form of wicked depravity, along with their cuckolded, effeminate husband/ partners. She writes in her review:
“My sex education consisted of crass comparisons of my virginity to a “wrapped present” for my future spouse that would be forever lost if I chose to unwrap it, a pledge to stay chaste until marriage, and of course, a True Love Waits ring. While today’s schools may teach a still-inadequate sex education that focuses merely on safe sex and maybe consent, mine never did.
Today, I identify as a polyamorous Christian — or a Christian who happens to have multiple partners, including two who live with me and my children. To arrive here, I have had to re-examine the intersection of sex and faith and what it means to have ethical sex. I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian home and was expected to maintain my purity until marriage. I got engaged at 19, married at 20, and had two children by age 25. My attempts to live out traditional sexual ethics led me to oppress parts of me that often fell in love with other people, or parts of me that were attracted to other genders. Ultimately, my husband and I found love outside our marriage while still maintaining love inside our marriage. We did this while also maintaining our deeply held faith.

” For people who have been raised in a liberal, feminist, educated environment where they were made to feel as if having sex was no big deal and that casual sex was an expected part of dating, and later found all of this quite lacking, Emba’s book might be extraordinarily refreshing.
….(But) Emba’s book offers no examples of healthy open relationships, nor examples of people who actually enjoy what Emba refers to as “problematic” kinks, despite the fact that we do exist.…The way we think about sex certainly needs to change, but I don’t believe that it will change for the better if we take Emba’s advice to completely reject sexual liberation and continue to ignore our own sexual desires around non-monogamy, kink, same-sex couplings, or casual sex when there are people who are engaged in them in a consensual and healthy manner every single day.
The fact that Sojourners is promoting this rejection of monogamy and promotion of casual sex and kink shows how far they’ve come, and how far they’re likely to continue to fall.
