    207. Summer Lovin’ Series: Week Nine, Sex Toys and Vibrators

    Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body. What’s okay for Christian marriage in the bedroom?  Maybe that’s the wrong question. Married sex can be a playground, filled with creativity and adventure. In this episode, we’ll reframe the question and perhaps help you process and give yourself permission for a little bit of adventure and freedom in your marriage bed. God created you in a wonderful way and designed married intimacy as celebration. The bodies of a husband and wife are designed to fit together perfectly and there isn’t a mandate saying you need to add anything. Sex toys are simply tools that you can introduce to your married intimacy “menu.” Consider these thoughts on sex toys as you process what is good for your marriage. Keep learning with Francie!

    Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body. Are you tuned into your female body? Often, even bringing up the topic of the clitoris or vagina can cause Christian women to shut down. As Bonny shares, when you have education about something, it becomes less scary. And, yet, most women don’t have much understanding of their genitalia. Bonny breaks down the science and the scriptures to give you permission to know your body and understand how your amazing female body works. In this chat we talk about anatomy, desire, low drives/high drives, growth mindset, loving your female body, arousal, orgasm, communication and shifting gears toward more mutual satisfaction in the bedroom and so much more. Bonny is the mentor we all want on these topics. More about Bonny Burns: Bonny Burns works to empower the wife with low sexual interest, little sex drive, and possibly a sexless marriage through science, scripture, and stories.  She writes at oysterbed7.com and podcasts at Sex Chat for Christian Wives.

    204. Summer Lovin’ Series: Week Six, The Science of Sex

    Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body. In this episode, Francie talks about... The science behind God’s good gift of intimacy.   The GOODNESS of God in our biology and all the amazing God-inspired wonders that happen on a physiological level in our mind, body and emotions when we enjoy the gift of intimacy.  The fact that there is a grand narrative … the love story of God ... the very Gospel … embedded into the nature of sexuality, marriage, and into the story of husband and wife. How our bodies - our very most private parts, our brains, our hormones, our emotions and our relationships - testify to God’s wisdom, creativity, and genius- all by Him, for Him and for His glory.   Romans 11:36- For EVERYTHING comes from Him- and exists by His power and intended for His glory.   A prayer to see God’s good design on our bodies:  God, it’s clear that there’s so much resistance in this area.  But I know you to be a God of breakthrough, healing and restoration. I ask for your re-alignment in my mindset on sex, my body, and the gift of intimacy in my marriage.  Help me to discover your view, your intention for my body, my sexuality, my family and my household. Help me embrace that my body is GOOD. Help me to see and celebrate your power, goodness and wisdom that is revealed in my body- this temple in which you delightfully dwell.     Keep learning with Francie!
