Feeling like the “good girl” who waited—but still struggling with sex in marriage? You’re not alone. This conversation is gonna blow the shame wide open and speak truth over your God-given design.
EPISODE SUMMARY: Y’all. This one has been a long time coming—and it’s worth every second. I finally got to sit down with the one and only Carlie Palmer-Webb (yes, the Christian Sex Educator!) and wow. We went there.
From why Christian women feel shut down around sex, to how purity culture missed the mark, to what the Bible really says (and doesn’t say) about things like masturbation and vibrators—we rip off the layers of shame and get real about reclaiming God's very good design.
We talk about why sex is not just for him, how to embrace your sexuality without compromising your values, and how spiritual intimacy and sexual pleasure were never meant to be separate. This one is for every woman who's wondered, "Is it just me?" (Spoiler alert: it's not.)
WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:
Why Christian women often feel like something’s wrong with them sexually—and where that comes from
The HUGE difference between sexual desire and lust (and why that matters!)
Why shame-free sex ed for Christians is so needed
What embracing your sexuality actually looks like (hint: it’s not about flaunting it)
How to talk to your kids about their bodies without freaking out
A powerful take on vibrators, solo exploration, and what honors God in marriage
The truth about Satan’s attack on intimacy—and God’s power to redeem it ALL
