  • What Women Ask Us (In Person)

    What Women Ask Us (In Person)
    Oct 30 2024
    What do women want to know about sex when we're face to faced with them? While we have regular listener question episodes, we wanted to address FAQs we get when speaking to a group or working with individuals or small groups. So get ready for six common questions and our answers. Sponsor Better Help can match you with a licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited therapist who shares your faith foundation. Access care through messaging, live chats, phone, and/or video conferencing. Check them out HERE. Our episode is also sponsored in part by Married Dance, a marriage-focused Christian sex toy store. From the Bible Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.1 Corinthians 6:9–11 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.Psalm 103:11–12 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (not Acts 2:38 or John 3:16...though those are great too!) But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:20–24 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.Psalm 30:11–12 Resources Episode 194: Creative Timing (Quickie) - Sex Chat for Christian Wives5 Times of Day to Make Love - Hot, Holy & HumorousWhy She's Too Busy to Have Sex - Knowing Her Sexually (for husbands)Episode 122: Self-Care for Wives - Sex Chat for Christian WivesEpisode 191: What Is Sexual Betrayal and How Can You Address It? - Sex Chat for Christian WivesEpisode 18: How Will I Ever Trust My Partner, Again? - Hope For WivesRebuilding Intimacy in Marriage (When Trust Has Been Damaged) - Hot, Holy & HumorousEpisode 185: Women's Freedom from Porn, with Juli Slattery & Joy Skarka - Sex Chat for Christian WivesThe Intimacy PyramidApproach Your Sex Life Like It’s a Jigsaw Puzzle - Honeycomb & SpiceEpisode 141: How to Do Oral Sex - Sex Chat for Christian WivesIs It Okay to Say No? - Hot, Holy & HumorousThe Back Door (my take on anal sex) • Bonny's Oysterbed7Is Anal Sex Okay? - Hot, Holy & HumorousWhy Don't Men Fess Up About Having the Lower Drive? - Hot, Holy & HumorousEpisode 133: How to Talk to Your Husband About Sex - Sex Chat for Christian Wives Our Speaking, Coaching & Communities Learn more about J Speaking to Your GroupJ's Higher Desire Wife CommunityContact Bonny about SpeakingLearn more about Coaching with BonnyChris's Intimacy Mentoring Preorder THE HIGHER DESIRE WIFE (J.

  • Talking to Kids About Sex, with Karissa Curtis

    Talking to Kids About Sex, with Karissa Curtis
    Sep 24 2024
    We welcome Christian sex therapist Karissa Curtis to discuss talking to kids—our own and others in our church—about sex. Sponsor Thanks to Married Dance for sponsoring this episode. From the Bible I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. John 17:14–18 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
