Girl, if your past feels like a chain around your heart, whispering lies into your marriage and intimacy—this one's for you. Whether it's shame from what you've done, what was done to you, or what you were never taught… Jesus says, “That is not your landing place.” It’s time to let God rewrite the story.
💔 EPISODE SUMMARY: This week, Michelle gets real about the heavy baggage so many Christian wives drag into marriage—past sin, unspoken shame, and deep confusion about God’s design for sex and intimacy. But friend, your past is not the whole story. You were never meant to stay stuck there.
From Isaiah 43 to Philippians 4, this episode is a Spirit-filled wake-up call to unpack those hidden hurts, invite the Holy Spirit into your healing, and believe God when He says He makes all things new. 💥
💡 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
Why silence and shame are partners in keeping you stuck
How your past might be shaping your present intimacy
The difference between explaining your pain and letting it define you
How Scripture teaches us to renew our minds and reject lies
The power of naming your shame and surrendering it to Jesus
Why it’s okay (and biblical!) to get support through counseling or devotionals
What “Naked and Unashamed” offers for your healing journey
🙌 CALL TO ACTION: Don’t stay tangled in shame, friend. Write down that one lie from your past that’s still shaping your intimacy—and then ask Jesus to rewrite it with His truth. 💌
