Friend, this chat is critical. As we attempt to reframe our view of sex, we are missing the mark if we continue to focus on a narrow and limiting view of “sexual activity” vs. the oneness and meaning that comes through “sexual intimacy.” Let’s unpack the differences, think about how we got here and how we find a way forward. And, let’s embrace a lifestyle of love making, where intimacy permeates every aspect of a marriage. We’ll dig into these topics: The traditional view of sex as solely sexual activity is limited and fails to capture the depth and beauty of sexual intimacy. A more aligned with design view of sex, sexual intimacy, which involves vulnerability, communication, and connection, and extends beyond the bedroom into all aspects of a marriage. Practicals for creating a lifestyle of love making prioritizes intellectual, physical, and emotional intimacy, creating a more integrated and fulfilling experience. Encouragement to have open conversations in your marriage about your sexual experiences and work towards deepening their sexual intimacy. 101 Course: Strong Foundations to Starting Well CLAIMING A HEALTHY VISION FOR MARRIED SEX To build a love that lasts, you must begin with a strong foundation.

Let’s pause and get on the same page. Language plays a crucial role in shaping culture and creating a sense of familiarity and understanding. And, a word used quite often in our conversations here is integration. What does it mean and why does it matter? In 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 we see, “May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together - spirit, soul, and body - and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ.” We are all on a journey toward more wholeness, more integration. Let’s define integration under our Biblical lens, particularly as we look at our bodies and sexuality through a more celebratory view. Let’s continue to uproot misconceptions and shame that lead to disintegration and disconnection as we learn to lean in to the stirring of God toward more healing and wholeness.

Your female body is an extravagant gift from God. He gave you a beautiful body and He’s called you to steward it well. Stewardship starts with knowing your body. And knowing that your female body was created for pleasure. When you look at the way you were designed, you can marvel at the Creator who made you with such a huge capacity for pleasure. I want to hold open, celebratory conversations about the female body and have a different kind of conversation about pleasure. Friend, we’re continuing to lean into the Word of God and the works of God and see the beautiful design of the female body. Rest is key to your ability to receive relaxation, tap into your five senses and experience pleasure. Let’s discover the beauty of the feminine joy you were created to walk in.

Let’s have a practical chat, rooted in spiritual truth as we answer a recent listener question. Francie, my physical well being often suffers at the expense of serving my children. How do I take time for myself at the expense of my children when the Bible is so clear about placing the needs of others above my own? Many of us have fallen prey to the trap of dualism - the idea that some things are sacred and some things aren’t. We tend to categorize certain activities as spiritual, even more important, and diminish the needs of the body. Let’s unpack what integrated living looks like. Friend, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Your body and the Spirit go hand in hand, so what does it look like to glorify God with your body? It involves caring for your body, nourishing your body and even seeking rest when needed. Running yourself into the ground is not wise nor is it honoring. When you choose to rest, which may look like going at a slower pace or choosing more simplicity in your day, you are modeling wisdom for your children (and your community).

The topic of sex so often shuts us down. The thought of learning or growing isn’t even an option when it’s a no-go territory. Yet, we learn about creation in two ways: through God’s words (the Bible) and through God’s works (His creation, which includes you and me). The body is His design. When we look at the beauty of our body and how it works, we can see the heart of a good Creator. In this episode we’ll unpack common fears and practical thinking to challenge those fears so that we might overcome them and boldly celebrate all of God’s creation, which includes our bodies and our sexuality. Let’s see more of His works, which are very good. Friend, we don’t have to be afraid. You’re Invited: Keep learning with Francie! Join the Discipleship Circle group mentorship.

In all seasons, we face circumstances that remind us that things aren’t as they should be. Can we be honest about the struggle and walk with authenticity? In this teaching episode, we’ll look at suffering and longing through the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who embodied love and trusting God in less than ideal circumstances. Jesus came in a body. And, this is no accident, sweet friend. Your body is significant and serves great purpose. As we reflect on the Christmas story, how can we bring His light and hope through our bodies? Even in the midst of struggle, uncertainty and walking through things that are not as they should be, don’t be afraid of the dark places.

In this episode, we address a common struggle faced by so many of us - the overwhelming exhaustion that often leaves us feeling too drained for intimacy. It’s real! Life's demands can leave you physically and emotionally depleted, and at the end of the day, sex might feel like just another exhausting task. But what if we could change this narrative? What if we could reframe sex as a source of nourishment, a pathway to renewal, and a means to receive rather than just give? In this conversation we’ll explore the powerful links between sex and sleep, and learn how to shift your mindset to see intimacy not as a chore but as a vital source of rest and connection.
