What We're About

Authentic Intimacy is a non-profit organization designed to minister to women on all topics related to intimacy in marriage and intimacy with God. We are addressing sexual intimacy within the framework of marriage but also speaking into the emotional and spiritual intimacy of women using practical examples and everyday language.

What you'll experience here is unlike what has been offered anywhere. Our goal is to build a community of women who feel safe addressing their questions and struggles with intimacy. We're not afraid to talk about the "tough" topics, and we promise that our interactions will always be God-honoring, friendly, and conversational.

Do you ever wonder if there's hope? If love really exists in a world so wrapped up in lust? Or maybe you have shut the doors to your heart but know that "this isn't how life is supposed to be." There are so many women who have these kinds of questions but don't know where to go – or who to ask. That's why we're glad you found us.

Our intent is to empower you with God's perspective and to help you understand your unique role and beauty as a woman. We invite you to come back to our site to participate in our blogs and online forums. . You can ask your questions about life's most significant heart issues and get the answers that are right for your situation. We're working on a wide variety of articles and videos, interviews and special features to help you work through what your heart desires… Authentic Intimacy.
