158: Understanding Healthy Biblical Sex and Intimacy in Marriage From the Christian Sexpert, Angela Griffith

Hey Friend,

This is the most tangential topic I've tackled on the podcast regarding health. However, it's one that does have a direct impact on our physical well being through a variety of ways, as you'll soon hear. Today's guest is known as the Christian sexpert and we dig deep into what healthy biblical sex Is and is NOT.   And depending on your background, you may be surprised to hear what we discuss. As someone from purity culture, who's heard all sorts of advice around sex in the Christian community, all in the name of what's "biblical", I appreciated this conversation with Angela.    I hope you find our discussion both interesting and helpful!   Blessings, Robin ***   About Angela Griffith: A challenger of the status quo and a disruptor of what has always been, Angela Griffith is known as The Christian Sexpert to over 100,000 social media followers.
