Sex and Sexuality with Rachel Gilson

Today we're tackling the topic of sex and sexuality with Rachel Gilson. Rachel lives in the Boston metro area, working for Cru on the leadership team for theological development and culture. She has a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She's the author of Born Again This Way: Coming Out, Coming to Faith, and What Comes Next, and her writing has been featured in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, and Desiring God, among other places.  We know the nature of today's topic is heavy. If you have questions or you need to process after listening, please take time to send a text to a friend in your local church. We are praying the Lord will use this conversation to cause you to move towards his Word, to cry out to him in prayer, and to walk in confession with women in your local church body.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is God's purpose and design for sexuality?  In the midst of your sin and your failings, how does it encourage you to remember what God's heart and posture is toward you? Do you struggle to believe that Jesus is better than the sin you are drawn toward? What verses might help you to remember Christ's worth and goodness? Consider memorizing these. Is there an area that Rachel mentioned—prayer, gentleness, truth, grace, Bible study—that you want to grow in? Who could you reach out to to help you with this? What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week's episode?   SPONSORS SEBTS offers flexible degree options that empower you to study the Bible deeply and teach God's Word.

Today we have the joy of hearing from Caroline Saunders on the topic of clothing. In this conversation, Caroline points us to the hope we have as those who are clothed in Christ. If you don't know her, Caroline is a writer, teacher, and writing teacher who believes in taking Jesus seriously and being un-serious about nearly everything else. Caroline lives with her husband Luke and their three funny kids in north Mississippi, where Luke pastors a church and the kids run wild in the lobby. Caroline loves to help others know and enjoy God and his Word, which you'll hear in this conversation! We pray this conversation with Caroline causes you to consider how you can put on the Lord Jesus Christ and trust him as you step into the closet and choose what to wear. May his righteousness be your covering today and every day. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Are there any biblical passages or points from this episode that have shaped your view of clothing? How does understanding that you have been clothed in Christ transform the way you view your clothing? Have you ever experienced insecurity in your clothing or how you look? If you could go back, what truths would you tell yourself in those moments? How might beholding God change how you look at yourself and what you wear? What might you implement or change based on what you learned in this week's episode?   SPONSORS SEBTS offers flexible degree options that empower you to study the Bible deeply and teach God's Word.

In today's episode we're talking about food with our friend Irene Sun! Irene was born in Malaysia, and she is the author of two kid's books. She studied liturgy and literature at Yale University (MAR) and the Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (ThM). She now teaches her four boys at home with her preacher husband, Hans. We pray this conversation with Irene causes you to consider the provision we have received in Christ and to “eat with him,” as Irene said, as you go about the rest of your day.   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Describe (if you're comfortable sharing) some of the struggles you have with food. What is the purpose of food, and what does the Lord communicate through his provision for us? What does it mean to eat with Christ? How might this transform the way you think about food? How might you come alongside other women who are wrestling with their relationship to food?

And, ya’ll stay tuned bc Maggie coming on the podcast to chat with me to share her story in December!  Can’t wait!  1: ValMarie Paper Val Marie Paper all started when Valarie Woerner’s fears during pregnancy had her searching for a prayer journal where she could organize her thoughts and every symptom she could possibly worry about. (She’s a self-diagnosed hypochondriac) When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she used that old journalism degree and skills designing wedding invitations to create her own. In the fall of 2013, about 2 weeks before her first daughter was born, she started selling our 6-month prayer journal. It exploded. It turns out she wasn’t the only one whose prayer time many days consisted of staring at a blank wall running through her to-do list instead of actually praying. They've had them used by famous bachelorettes, Canadian style mavens, and authors with books you’ve probably got on your shelf. Why? Because none of us are immune to distractions in our prayer life and we all need a little help to focus on what matters most to us! Our mission is to create practical tools and content that equip women to cut through the noise of everyday life and find fullness of life in the presence of the Lord. So excited and grateful to tell you about this company Valarie began 5 years ago. Valmarie Paper has graciously given my Friends of a Feather listeners the code FRIENDS3 for 20% off when they purchase 3 or more products (only excluding their Yearly Prayer Journal). This is great for multiple gifts because it brings our $15 journals down to $12! I have used the Fresh Start prayer journal and devotional, I am currently using the 6 month prayer journal, and I’ve already sent the link to my husband for the yearly prayer journal for Christmas!   Here is the link to order: Shop Val Marie Paper  Bonus: The Friends of a Feather HOPE bird At the friends of a Feather Podcast, stories are shared, some of who you may know, some you may know only on the internet! I am grateful that I get to chat with women who have a story to tell, a dream that they are pursuing or a passion to share. Years ago as I was walking through the pain of infertility, a friend gave me a handcrafted ceramic bird.  The simple word, Hope was hand stamped on the side of it.  The bird now hangs on a lamp in my office.  It has been a very meaningful gift to me, a sign of hope, a  sign that like my friends fingerprints on the clay, God’s fingerprints were on my life. I had hope.  Rom. 15:13 says, “ May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” When walking through my difficult heart-yearning time, I needed to trust and hope and I found that.  Encouragement from friends like my friend, Stacey and this little bird she handcrafted for me was a constant visual reminder of the HOPE that Jesus gives, that He was with me in the midst of the trial.   I am pleased to announce that we have partnered with Stacey who is Meredith Design Co to create a one of a kind HOPE bird inspired by the original one she made me seven years ago.  This is an exclusive for Friends of a Feather.  Each one is hand made and hand stamped with the word HOPE by Stacey and only available through our podcast.  We could not be any more happy with this product and that it will be provided to you, the Friends of a Feather listeners.  Consider giving a friend going through a hard time this gift of HOPE.  The release date for the limited edition Friends of a Feather HOPE bird is today.  I would love for you to go check it out at HOPE bird. They are available for a limited time only and will be shipped the week of December 3rd.  Our prayer is that the Hope Bird will become a visual reminder that there is hope in the Lord and that His fingerprints are on your story. Each bird is lovingly handmade and unique... just like you.  Handmade polymer clay. Dimensions approx 3.25 x 2.25 x 1.25 Shipping: USPS First Class Preorders ended Nov. 24th.  Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Want to connect with Wren?

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m doing something I’ve never done in the history of Journeywomen. I’m chatting with two guests at once! Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Holly Mackle and Caroline Saunders on the topic of humor and the gospel! Y'all, there are some episodes of Journeywomen that stand out to me, simply because they feel like a pep talk from your high school soccer coach before a big game, or something along those lines. This episode is one that really struck my heart in ways that I hope I’ll remember for a really long time. In it, Holly, Caroline and I talked about everything from the Biblical backing for humor and how it relates to the gospel, to practical encouragement for those of us, like myself, who tend to take ourselves a liiiiiitttttle too seriously. So you’ll know them a little better, Holly is the curator for the mom humor collaboration entitled Same Here, Sisterfriend which Caroline also contributed to. They’re both hilarious and I can assure you that you’ll want to be best friends by the end of this conversation.   HOLLY’S RESOURCES Invite a couple of friends for a girl’s night (prep yourself with some pre jokes) Definitely Keep Insulting Your Kids With Sarcasm.

Join me for a laugh and a lighthearted chat with Holly Mackle, author and curator of Same Here, Sisterfriend.  Holly believes we as moms and women need to laugh more, which is exactly what led her to curate the book Same Here, Sisterfriend. The book explores the misadventures of motherhood and the hilarity of everyday motherhood.  I loved chatting with Holly and totally feel like this book is well-timed for many of us who tend towards seriousness and heavy-hearted issues. What about the lighter side of life? I love that Holly finds the humor in everyday situations and she's truly someone I wish I was neighbors with because she's simply a joy to talk to.
