"Creating a Marriage That's Both Holy and Hot"

Join us as we dive into our November Book Club read, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson! The book revolves around Pip's high school senior project. Pip takes on an advanced challenge, aiming to solve a potential murder involving 2 high school students, Annie + Sal. Partnering with Sal's brother Ravi, they delve into the investigation while Pip records her journey in her high school journal. We discuss the book's twists, character preferences, and the intricate plot, while exploring both the engaging and clichéd aspects. The last-minute revelations and character complexities left us intrigued, leading to a mix of positive and critical reflections.

Disclaimer: This conversation frankly discusses sensitive topics relating to sex and marriage that may not be age-appropriate for younger viewers/listeners. In this month's podcast, Dean sits down for a conversation with Sheila and Keith Gregoire. Sheila is no stranger to the Impactus podcast, and we are happy to have her husband with us this time as well! Sheila is the face behind Bare Marriage, a website and blog dedicated to Christian marriage and sex. She is the author of nine books, including best-sellers The Great Sex Rescue and The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and is a much sought-after speaker on these topics. She lives in Ontario, Canada, with her husband Keith, who co-authored a new book, The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex, with Sheila. They have been married for over 30 years and have two adult children and two grandchildren. The Gregoires are passionate about changing the evangelical conversation about sex and marriage to line up with Kingdom principles. They desire to bring research and data to this conversation, and to undo some of the harmful and toxic Christian teaching on sex that exists out there, and to bring sexuality back in line with the Scriptures and the way of Jesus. In this podcast, Dean and the Gregoires have an absorbing and in-depth conversation about some very tricky topics, exploring such questions as: If sex is truly a gift from God, why do many Christian women feel like it is anything but?  Why is our theology of sex so important? What are the 5 most important contributors to a frequent and healthy sex life in a marriage? What are some of the most damaging teachings about sex out there in Christian circles, and why are they so damaging?  How has “purity culture” teaching affected marriages? What is a healthy Kingdom view of sexuality? What are some lessons about sex that Christian men need to un-learn? What does it mean to be “Christ-like” in your sex life? Join us for this important and impactful conversation! ----------------------------------------------  Website: https://impactus.org/ Check Our Resources for Men: https://impactus.org/resources/ ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media Faacebook Instagram.com LinkedIn Twitter This Is Me TV

If you haven't listened to the first episode in this series, I encourage you to check out that episode first, get to know Brent and Nicole's story, then return to hear today's episode as we dive into the nature of addiction.  We discuss statistics and real-world case studies regarding the pornography industry that reveal the magnitude of its harmful effects on society and on individuals alike. Brent and Nicole then unpack terms and concepts such as the cyclone of addiction, the shame cycle, and neurochemistry of the brain that all point to God's intricate design for His creation. Check out the various resources mentioned throughout this episode: ·      Restoring the Soul podcast: Part 1 with Tony Anderson, and Part 2 with Tony Anderson ·      Fight the New Drug ·      The Social Dilemma ·      Pure Desire Ministries, through which Brent and Nicole help men and women heal from unwanted sexual behaviors and their repercussions   As you listen to this conversation with Brent and Nicole, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor: We refer to the statistic that 49% of rescued sex trafficking victims were forced to participate in the production of pornographic material. How ought that knowledge affect decisions to consume that pornographic material?   How does the pornography industry harm our perceptions of others as individuals made in the image of God? Why might “rigid, disengaged homes,” per Brent's description, often become an environment in which many individuals become sex addicts? What habits can you establish to “live in this world of technology… but do it in a healthy manner,” as Brent says? What sin struggles have prompted you to feel shame and hide from God and from fellow believers?   Loads of Additional Resources on this topic Problematic Sexual Behavior (Men): Books: Laaser, M.

join us for a very chaotic roller coaster ride of an episode while we talk about one of our favorite books: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. It is SUCH a good book!!! Hailey's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClvReAIm6RO1kZZFn9Sj1rA

What if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her? From the authors of The Great Sex Rescue comes this evidence-based book grounded on surveys of over 28,000 women to offer moms a fresh, freeing, and biblically grounded message of sexuality and self-worth for their daughters that is less about the don'ts and more about the dos. Don't mind the fact that Will and Josh are fathers, they did the best they could, but definitely learned a ton. This isn't your average parenting book: no pat answers or overly broad principles here. No cliché prescriptives or toxic teachings that your daughter will have to unpack and recover from as an adult, like so many of us have. Buy her book: https://a.co/d/2vHBZ1AGuest Bio:Sheila Wray Gregoire is passionate about changing the evangelical conversation about sex! A popular speaker, marriage blogger, and award-winning author of seven books, including The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex, she wants to challenge Christians to go beyond pat answers on marriage to reach real intimacy. Sheila believes in authenticity, and gives real solutions to the very real and messy problems women, and couples, can face. She and her husband Keith spend a lot of their time touring North America in an RV, speaking at marriage conferences, hiking, and birdwatching. The parents to two adult daughters, you can usually find her in Belleville, Ontario, where she's either knitting, blogging, or taking her grandson out for a walk.Support the showTo learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics

Dan and Stephanie are excited to have back as our guest, Sheila Gregoire. While we push back on the modesty and purity movement along with courtship teachings that encourage rules and roles, we speak to the truth of abstinence and reserving sex for marriage while teaching both men and women to respect boundaries versus putting all the responsibility on girls/women.We will discuss the new book, She Deserves Better. The publisher's notes about the book:What if the most common teachings girls hear in youth groups make them more likely to marry an abuser? Less likely to understand consent? And more likely to blame themselves if they are assaulted?Parents want their daughters to thrive--to be strong, confident, and equipped to step into the life God has for them. But is the church working against them? Armed with data from an all-new survey of more than 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue, Sheila WrayGregoire, Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, and Joanna Sawatsky, reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today in their new book She Deserves Better: Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, andSpeaking Up.They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire: the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime girls for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep them from setting healthy boundaries.This book tackles tough topics like:• The dating rule that works best—except when it doesn't(and why we need nuance)• How we can talk about clothing choices without causingbody image issues or blaming girls for boys' thoughts• How to talk about saving sex without idolizing virginity orcreating sexual anxiety• How we can protect our daughters from a church hurtthat could send them fleeing the faith• And so much moreAbout Our Guest:Sheila Wray Gregoire is the face behind ToLoveHonorandVacuum.com, the largest single-blogger marriage blog. She's also an award-winning author of nine books, including The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex, and a sought-after speaker. With her humorous, no-nonsense approach, Sheila is passionate about changing the evangelical conversation about sex and marriage to line up with kingdom principles.Sheila lives in Ontario, Canada, with her husband. They have two adult daughters and two grandbabies.

Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic I should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org.   Show Notes: In January 2023, Pensacola OCF hosted a one-day workshop to discuss sexual brokenness and unwanted sexual behaviors like pornography addiction and to introduce solutions for healing and wholeness. CAPT Brent & Nicole Breining, USN (Ret.), led sessions throughout that one-day workshop, and they join me today on the podcast as we begin a series of episodes focusing on similar topics. Brent and Nicole share their story and the impact that porn had on their marriage in this episode, and their remaining three Crosspoint episodes will cover topics such as the nature of addiction, the shame cycle, and the neurochemistry of the brain. Having reached a breaking point in their marriage in 2012 and recovered since then by God's grace, Brent and Nicole talk about why that addiction placed such a strain on their marriage, how God worked through accountability partners in their healing process, and more. Above all, their desire is for listeners to understand there is hope and that God can restore anyone struggling with problematic sexual behaviors. Brent retired from the Navy in 2017 after a distinguished 27-year career, and he currently serves as a Foursquare Institutional Chaplain with Pure Desire Ministries, through which he helps men walk in sexual purity and break free from unwanted sexual behaviors. Nicole received a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from the University of Illinois and a Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, going on to work as a hospital pharmacist for 25 years. Nicole also has been working with Pure Desire Ministries, leading their betrayal and beyond groups for spouses for about three years. Both Brent and Nicole are accredited pastoral professionals. As you listen to this conversation with Brent and Nicole, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor: How can the church establish a culture of grace, especially as applies to this topic of addiction? Brent refers to Ephesians 5:25, which says “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” How does this verse shape your view of emotional intimacy in marriage? Brent talks about the iPhone's contribution to an increased accessibility to pornography in recent years. What steps can you take to ensure your own devices aren't contributing to addictive behaviors? How does our freedom in Christ set us free from the shame of our secrets? Nicole talks about realizing her husband's struggles with pornography prompted her to react in sin as well. If you've been hurt by someone else's sin, what's the value of not using their sin as license to sin in response? If you're struggling with addictive behaviors, sexual or otherwise, what positive habits can you establish to replace those behaviors? Why is assessing your heart posture in all things so critical?   Loads of Resources on this topic Problematic Sexual Behavior (Men): Books: Laaser, M. (2004).

Join Alicia and Tori for a special Spooktacular Halloween episode, where they cover Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Do podcasts really solve crimes? If you followed the story of Adnan Syed, a case made famous by Serial, a podcast produced by the creators of This American Life, you know all charges against Syed were recently dropped. This exoneration arrived over 20 years too late for the victim's family, Syed's family and friends, and Syed himself. After listening to the first season of Serial for the 32nd time, we were left wondering – did any good come from opening this can of worms, or did the podcast only cause more pain than necessary to those affected by the murder? Let's talk about it. Then, on to our book.   Solving a real-life murder mystery nearly cost Pippa her sanity, her family, and her life. She vows to leave crime cases in the hands of the police, but when a close friend goes missing, she must decide if she's ready to risk it all … again.   The Book: Good Girl Bad Blood by Holly Jackson.   You're listening to LIT Society.    LET's GET LIT! _____ Listen to our episode on A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson: https://www.litsocietypod.com/a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-by-holly-jackson/   Kari here!

Summary + Guest Bio:On episode 19 of the She is Kindred podcast, Britt chats with award winning author, blogger, speaker, wife, and mom - Sheila Wray Gregoire. Sheila shares her story with equal parts humor and deep vulnerability on a subject that is often not discussed openly in Christian circles: Sex and Marriage. Together, they wade through the ways that we can build healthy sex lives while also navigating sexual dysfunction and inequality. She charges the Church to provide better education and encouragement for newlyweds as they explore what it means to have a thriving, enjoyable sex life together. Sheila Wray Gregoire is a popular speaker, marriage blogger, and the author of eight books, including The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex. She loves encouraging women in their relationships, both with God and with their husbands, children, and friends. Her passion is for marriage, and she and her husband Keith speak together at marriage outreaches and at FamilyLife Canada marriage conferences. Sheila believes in authenticity, and gives real solutions to the very real and messy problems women, and couples, can face. You can usually find her in Belleville, Ontario, where she's constantly texting her two young adult daughters and knitting. Preferably simultaneously.In this episode, Britt talks with Sheila Wray Gregoire about: The discrepancy between what the Church teaches on sex and the reality of our experiencesThe Great Sex Rescue published the first and largest survey of Evangelical women (20,000) on satisfaction regarding sex and marriage. It showed that popular Christian resources and books written on improving sex and marriages were doing more harm than good. Vaginismus: what it is and what predictors that have been found for itBritt shares her own personal story and the long journey to pain-free sexStrong sex life takes responsibility of both husband and wife.Resources mentioned in this episode: 00:30 https://tolovehonorandvacuum.com/ Marriage, Sex, Family, Faith00:50 Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex00:55 31 Days to Great Sex03:00 The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended47:15 Gift of Sex47:20 The Great Sex Rescue, Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex, Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex53:10 Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel TruthFollow @sheilagregoire and share this podcast!Quotable:"We've turned sex into male entitlement and female obligation,  and that really increases the rate of sexual pain and primary vaginismus, which is really damaging. This is not the way God talks about sex. It is the furthest thing from the way that God talks about sex." - Sheila Gregoire"In Jesus's ministry, He brought countercultural equality. Why wouldn't it translate to sex and marriage? It's not just about sexual function, it is also about sexual equality." - Britt SmithSupport the show

Sophie Salveson survived a stroke at 19. It's not the way any freshman wants to end their first year of college. She was a writer, actor, and singer. The stroke stole her right side limbs, her speech, and her access to language. Over the past 10 years she fought back through PT, OT, speech therapy. She learned to stand, walk and speak again. And she continues to make progress. In the previous episode (http://strokecast.com/ExpandedPractice) I spoke with Marabeth Quinn, Sophie's Mom, and Danielle Stoller, one of Sophie's Physical Therapists. This week, we hear from Sophie and Marabeth and learn more about Sophie's journey. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/Sophie.   Click here for a machine-generated transcript Song Many people with aphasia find it easier to sing than to speak. Early treatment sometimes involves getting folks to sing their name or sing a greeting. Or even sing a song deeply embedded in their memory, like Happy Birthday. It has to do with the way music and song live in different part of the brain. Aphasia isn't the only place music as an impact. In episode 106, I spoke with Brian Harris of Medrhythms about his work using music to bypass limitations of the motor cortex and help people significantly improve their gait. This is an amazing video of Sophie from 2020. You can hear her sing, "A Change in Me" from Beauty and the Beast. Now, I really want to hear Sophie's Eponine. Maggie and Michael Sophie isn't the only stroke survivor with a passion for theater. I talked with Maggie in episode 38. Since then she has acted in a theater company fill with folks with disabilities. She continues to make progress on her documentary, The Great Now What. Here's the trailer: Michael Schutt was on the show in episode 124 talking about creating his solo show to share his stroke story. COVID lock downs meant planned performances didn't happen. He pivoted it into a radio play available on line. You can listen at http://ALessonInSwimming.com. Sophie's Book Recommendations The first book Sophie really read for pleasure after her stroke was "Shatter Me," by Tahereh Mafi.* It came with a powerful endorsement -- her sister's. And connecting about the book with her sister was a powerful incentive to read it, no matter what it took. Sophie's current favorites include "Good Girl's Guide to Murder," by Holly Jackson and "Elsewhere," by Gabrielle Zevin. * Pick up a copy or find them at your library and tell Sophie what you like about her favorites. Hack of the Week Keep trying. Speaking with aphasia is tough, but the only way out is through the key is to keep trying and to keep working on it. I've found it best top to try doing a thing with my affected hand three times before switching to my unaffected side. By trying three times, I'm reminding my brain that my left hand is still there and has a job to do. By stopping after three failed attempts, I stave off frustration and can try again another day.

(CW: Sexual Content). In this episode we are joined again by Sheila Wray Gregoire, the author of The Great Sex Rescue, to talk about her two newest books, The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex (both published by Zondervan). In our conversation, Sheila explains why she was motivated to revise her Good Girl's Guide from ten years ago, and why she wanted to add a companion volume for guys too. She situates her new books relative to prominent evangelical books on sex from the past, noting several problematic features within them. Our discussion with Sheila was informative, thought provoking, and hilarious, and it highlights well the ways that Sheila wants to change the way we talk about sex in the church. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Grace Sangalang Ng, and Dr. Logan Williams.
