Sensual Faith Podcast with Lyvonne Briggs
Greetings, beloved ones. My name is Lyvonne Briggs, and I am a body and sex-positive womanist preacher, speaker, and author. I am the host of Sensual Faith, a sacred space for you to uncover your spirituality, recover your sensuality, and discover your sexuality. If that sounds good to you, and that feels good to you, then you’re in the right place. For those of you who desire to feel at home in your body, who want to love God and love sex, who want to indulge in sensual pleasure without shame, tune in bi-weekly on Thursdays, and follow the conversation online using #sensualfaithpod. Let’s co-create this juicy, delicious community together, and remember, faith should feel good. Follow me on all social media, check out my platforms, and visit my website, www.lyvonnebriggs.com, to contact me for speaking, teaching, preaching, and more!
