Episode Synopsis

What do you do with a gift you never really learned how to use? We often treat sex like the expensive china we registered for but never use—beautiful in theory, awkward in practice. But sex isn’t just skin-deep.   In this episode, Heather and Jamie talked about how our minds—and marriages—need renewing. Jamie shares the invisible legacy of trauma passed down through her family, while Heather opens up about the pressure to “perform” intimacy without ever being taught what godly sexual intimacy actually looks like. Let’s renew our minds together!    Show Notes: Book Recommendations: Embodied by Gregg Allison The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Wray Gregoire How and When to Tell Your Kids about Sex by Stan and Brenna Jones   Want to connect with a pastor?
