You’re Allowed to Want It: Permission to Initiate Intimacy // Summer Minisode 2

Have you ever felt awkward, ashamed, or even “too much” for wanting your husband? For asking for intimacy? For daring to go first? Girl, you’re not broken—you’re brave. And in this mini-soad, we’re ripping off one of the biggest lies that’s kept Christian wives silent in their bedrooms for way too long.

💬 EPISODE SUMMARY: In today’s Summer Minisode, Michelle is tearing into a topic that makes a lot of Christian women squirm: initiating sex. Somewhere along the way, we were sold the idea that desire in women is shameful, even sinful—but that’s not what God says. You’ll hear powerful truth about why desiring your husband is not desperate, and how initiating intimacy is actually a beautiful, bold expression of connection and honesty in marriage.

This bite-sized truth bomb is ripped straight from the Naked and Unashamed 31-day journey—a must-have for Christian women ready to ditch performance and reclaim passion.

✨ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why initiating sex doesn’t make you desperate—it makes you connected

• How cultural and church narratives have misled Christian women about desire

• Why your desire is designed by God and has a holy place in your marriage

• Ways to step into boldness even if it feels awkward or unfamiliar

• A reminder that your voice and needs belong in your bedroom
