    Send a text Hey friend! Today we’re excited to be answering a fantastic listener question that came in recently (we love when that happens!): 👉 How do I have healthy friendships with the opposite s*x—especially in the Christian world? If you've ever wondered how to navigate these relationships without the awkwardness or crossed wires, you're not alone.

    Feeling Sexy Ep. 21: "Christian Sex Therapy" —When You Need More Than A Book [RTH Episode #36]

    Send a text Hey friend! There are many wise, wonderful Christian counselors out there. We love them. We work alongside them. But here’s what most people don’t realize… 👉 S*x therapy is not part of standard counseling training. That means even highly skilled, licensed counselors may not be equipped to navigate the deeply personal and often complex world of sexual concerns. That’s where Christian s*x therapy steps in. In this episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast, Josh & Cassie open up Chapter 21 of Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire and unpack what Christian s*x therapy actually is, when it helps, and how it integrates solid theology, neuroscience, and relational healing. Josh—co-author of Feeling Sexy—is a board-certified Christian s*x therapist who developed the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling (NICC) model. NICC rests on this beautiful truth: 🧠✝️ The Author of Scripture and the Designer of your Nervous System is the same person—Jesus. In this episode, Josh & Cassie dive into: What makes Christian s*x therapy different from general counselingWhy s*x therapy can be a game-changer for couples who feel “stuck”When it might be time to reach out for more support (and why that’s not failure—it’s wisdom)Reading a book can spark awareness. Listening to a podcast can bring clarity. But sometimes, we hit a place where we need more. That doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re ready.  Key Takeaways: If you’ve read Feeling Sexy and still feel stuck, you’re not broken—you’re just ready for deeper supportChristian s*x therapy honors both the sacred and scientific aspects of sexualityJesus cares about your wholeness—including your s*x lifeReceive Christian S*x Therapy: https://mycounselor.online/christian-sex-therapy/ Download the First 11 Chapters of Feeling Sexy for FREE!: https://joshcassie.com/feeling-sexy/ Grab Your Copy of Feeling Sexy: Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman's Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire Connect With Us: 🌎 Website: https://mycounselor.online/ 🌴 Our LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/joshcassie If you think Christian s*x therapy might be your next right step, visit MyCounselor.Online and explore what’s possible.

    Feeling Sexy Ep. 20: "Sex Positive Church" —Reclaiming S*xual Freedom God’s Way [RTH Episode #35]

    Send a text Hey friend, we need a s*x revolution in the Church. For far too long, the enemy has twisted s*x into something shameful, secretive, and confusing. Yes, culture distorted it—but the Church has also lost ground. Too many believers were handed two broken options:  👉 the world’s way—hyper-s*xualized, self-focused, and empty  👉 or a purity culture that left us wounded, ashamed, and unsure And the fallout? Women carrying body shame, s*xual anxiety, performance pressure, low desire, p*rn struggles, trauma, and questions they never felt safe asking. Instead of dancing in the freedom God designed, many Christian couples are tiptoeing around landmines. But the good news: you have the power to change that. In this episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast, Josh & Cassie (Certified Christian S*x Therapist and s*x educators) dive into Chapter 20 of Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire and cast a bold, hope-filled vision for a S*x Positive Church—one rooted in truth, healing, laughter, and joy. In this episode, you’ll learn: What a s*x-positive, Christ-centered church culture actually looks likeHow to practice Righteous Flirting—uplifting others without being weird or over-s*xualHow to start honest, healing conversations about s*x within the Church Every woman can start a revolution—a Spirit-led uprising that reclaims what Jesus already won. And Jesus? He’s all for it. He wants His bride free, unashamed, and radiant. Key Takeaways: S*x is not the enemy—shame isHealing happens when truth replaces silenceYou can help change the culture—starting right where you areThe Church needs wisdom, courage, and grace-filled voices supporting each other. When we reclaim sexuality as sacred, embodied, and good, we help set others free too. And the revolution starts with women who are willing to speak, heal, and lead with love. It starts with you.
