#36: What Kind of Love Are You Making?
If there is one place in the Bible that gives women permission to have fun, to explore and to enjoy sexual pleasure, it’s the poetic Song of Solomon. Join us for a candid conversation about why many married women dread sex, yet how the Song of Solomon gives women freedom and permission to say no to sex, to initiate sex, to enjoy sex, and to feel sexy.
Guests: Linda Dillow & Elena Thomason

A Woman's Greatest Dilemma, Part 3
Unlike our grandmothers, today’s Christian wives no longer believe that loving and respecting a husband means being essentially mute and supportive. Women have realized the freedom in thinking for themselves and using their gifts, talents, and strengths. Now the problem isn’t a woman finding her voice in marriage, but the tension of using her power in a manner that builds intimacy with her husband rather than destroying it.
In this post, Juli shares five ways to use your power to build intimacy in your marriage instead of tearing it down. Not married? This wisdom is relatable and beneficial for any woman in her relationships.

Rethinking Sexuality
The Christian church has largely avoided honest conversations about sexuality — so we usually don't know how to have them. The "Rethinking Sexuality" curriculum will teach you how to think biblically about sexually and equip you to have conversations that point people to Jesus as their Lord, Savior, and Healer.

Make sense of sexuality.
Many Christians believe that their sexual choices and beliefs are a separate category from their spiritual pursuits. We simply assume that God doesn’t speak into our sexuality – that He allows us to make those choices for ourselves.
This is a destructive lie. In fact, sexuality and spirituality were designed to be inseparable. Our sexual beliefs and behaviors are a reflection of what we truly believe about God. Every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual question.
Engaging in sexual conversations is a necessary part of the Great Commission (making disciples). People need help understanding their sexuality within the context of God’s character and biblical teaching.
