Podcasts about rethinking sexuality

I recently had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on Gary Thomas' podcast. If you've been around Delight Your Marriage for a while, you know what a dear friend Gary has been to this ministry. Not only is he a best-selling author and speaker, but he's also been so generous in inviting us to share on his platform in the past. And this time? I got to be part of a panel alongside two truly amazing women: Juli Slattery—President and Co-Founder of Authentic Intimacy and author of several life-changing books, including God, Sex, & Your Marriage and Rethinking Sexuality. Debra Fileta—Creator of the #1 faith-based relationship advice blog TrueLoveDates.com and author of True Love Dates: Your Indispensable Guide to Finding the Love of Your Life and Married Sex: A Christian Couple's Guide to Reimagining Your Love (among many others). We came together for a powerful discussion about helping wives awaken to intimate pleasure—such an essential and often overlooked topic. The wisdom and insights from these women were just incredible, and I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation. Here were some key takeaways from our panel discussion: The Challenge of Awakening Sexual Fulfillment For so many women, the journey toward enjoying sex in marriage isn't a simple switch—it's a process. If you've spent years saying "no"—whether because of purity culture, past wounds, or just never learning that sex is a gift—it makes sense that "yes" doesn't come easily. And you are not alone in this! How Husbands Can Help Their Wives Awaken to Pleasure Men, you've likely never been discipled in how to help your wife step into her own sexual enjoyment. Many husbands enter marriage assuming their wife will naturally embrace sex, but the reality is, she may feel lost, hesitant, or even afraid. This is where your role as her safe place matters deeply. Here are some questions that Debra suggested as conversation starters on sex: What's something you're looking forward to in our sex life? What's something that makes you nervous or unsure? What beliefs about sex do you want to hold onto, and what do you want to let go of? Overcoming the Weight of Purity Culture Many women who "did everything right" and waited for marriage still find themselves struggling. Why? Because purity culture often framed sex as something to avoid, not as a gift to embrace. As Juli Slattery puts it, "Just because I waited, doesn't mean I know how to start." That's the truth. And if this is you, grace upon grace, my friend. Sexual wholeness isn't about following a list of dos and don'ts. It's about stepping into the fullness of what God has given and allowing Him to reframe any distorted views we carry. The Power of Emotional & Spiritual Connection Debra Fileta says, "What you do above the sheets paves the way for what happens under the sheets." I could not agree more. Emotional and spiritual safety fuels physical intimacy. Husbands, if your wife doesn't feel safe, known, and whole-heartedly cherished, her body won't naturally respond to you with desire. So, before you think about sex, think about: Playfulness in everyday life (it builds intimacy!) How you affirm and admire her body How well she feels known and cherished by you It's Not About You, It's About Her A massive shift for many husbands is realizing that sex in marriage isn't just about "getting my needs met." If your wife doesn't feel safe, it's no wonder intimacy feels like a duty rather than a desire. You have an opportunity to disciple your heart in a new way. Instead of seeing your wife as the "acceptable outlet" for your sexual needs, ask: "How can I be the safest place for her to enjoy intimacy?" When she feels safe, she will want to engage. Not out of obligation, but because she feels free to. How to Move Toward More Desire in Marriage Wives, rather than wondering and praying, "Why am I broken?" for not wanting intimacy, instead ask, "How can I cultivate a desire for intimacy?" Some ideas: Non-sexual sensual touch with no pressure Playfulness in your daily life (This is huge!) Embracing a "turning a dial" rather than "flipping a switch" approach to intimacy    Addressing Past Trauma & Emotional Wounds Even in strong marriages, past sexual trauma or unhealthy conditioning can affect intimacy. And let's be real: just having a great marriage doesn't mean sex will be effortless. For some, the body's response to past wounds will still show up. That's okay. It's part of the journey. Healing takes time, patience, and sometimes outside help. If this is part of your story, give yourself permission to process what's needed. The Role of Faith & Hope in Sexual Fulfillment God is a God of hope. If your marriage has felt disconnected, there is hope. If you've never truly enjoyed sexual pleasure, there is hope. Your story isn't over. Pursue wholeness—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—and trust that intimacy can be more fulfilling than you ever imagined. Final Thoughts Husbands: Emotional and spiritual intimacy first, pleasure follows. Wives: You are not broken. Your pleasure matters. Both: Intimacy is a journey, not a destination. Keep taking steps, and trust that God is working in it all. Friend, you are not alone. Your marriage can grow, your desire can awaken, and your intimacy can thrive. Keep leaning in, keep growing, and keep trusting that God has more for you than you even realize. Be blessed! Love,   Belah & Team  

God calls all of us to surrender our sexuality to him to be sanctified by his redeeming love.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

She then shares her own story with pornography addiction and how God turned a source of brokenness, pain, and trauma into a passion through which she helps other women navigate similar struggles. You can connect with Joy by following her on Instagram: @joyskarka.   Check out the various resources mentioned throughout this episode:  Authentic Intimacy, the ministry Joy works for that offers online groups, resources, and more  Java with Juli, Authentic Intimacy's podcast with the ministry's president and co-founder Juli Slattery  Rethinking Sexuality: God's Design and Why It Matters by Dr. Juli Slattery  The Girl Defined Show: Freedom from Porn & Sexual Struggles for Women with Joy Skarka  As you listen to this conversation with Joy, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor:  Quoting Juli Slattery's book Rethinking Sexuality, Joy says, “Every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one.” Do you agree? Why or why not?  How might a lack of education from the church result in a poor or even harmful understanding of sexuality?  Joy talks about how addiction to pornography can start so subtly. What are some ways we can proactively guard against developing such addictions?  If we truly understand that the point of being a Christian is to be made more like Christ, how does that understanding affect our contentment in Him alone, regardless of relationship status, circumstances, etc.?  Who are the trustworthy mentors in your life with whom you can discuss heavy topics like the ones covered in today's episode?

Many Christian books talk about sexual issues within broader works on marriage, but few resources comprehensively and biblically guide couples on sexual intimacy. Navigating sex in marriage has always been tricky, and research overwhelmingly suggests that the pandemic has further complicated intimacy in marriage. In her new book, God, Sex, and Your Marriage, Dr. Slattery applies a biblical framework to the practical challenges in sexual intimacy and helps couples by addressing questions like: Why do we struggle in this area of marriage? Is your love life mediocre? What would you like married couples to know? Can you and your spouse talk openly about sex? Why is this important? Does sex create more conflict than unity? What are some key points for our audience? Has shame sabotaged your hope for intimacy? What are some key points for our audience? Dr. Juli Slattery is a clinical psychologist, author, and co-founder of Authentic Intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality. In addition to speaking, she hosts the podcast Java with Juli. In 2020, Juli launched Sexual Discipleship®, an online platform to equip Christian leaders for gospel-centered conversations about sexual issues. She's the author of twelve books, including Rethinking Sexuality; Passion Pursuit; and Sex & the Single Girl. She and her husband Mike live in Akron, Ohio, and have three grown sons.

In part 6 of this series, we are discussing the paradigm shift that says truth and love must coexist, with Pastor Michael Rauls.  This is the sixth paradigm shift from the book Rethinking Sexuality by Dr. Juli Slattery, which is what this entire series is based on. We dig into what the gospel says about this issue and how we, as Christians, can walk this out daily. We hope this message is so encouraging and helpful to you!Show notes are found at: youareworththefight.com/pod/rethinking-sexuality-series-part-6

The paradigm shift we are focusing on today with guest, Gretchen Hill, is that God invites us to pursue sexual wholeness! In this episode, we bring the hope that though we are all sexually broken, there is hope that we can all pursue sexual wholeness! This idea of paradigm shifts in the area of sexuality is directly from Dr. Juli Slattery's book, Rethinking Sexuality. Show notes are found at: youareworththefight.com/pod/rethinking-sexuality-series-part-5

The paradigm shift we are focusing on today with guest, Heather Bruce, is that we are ALL sexually broken! While our sexual brokenness may look different, we are all broken in this area, and need to turn to Jesus to find wholeness. We also dig into our perception of purity, and discuss what purity actually is and is not - and the truth about purity just might surprise you. These paradigm shifts we are tackling in this series are all from Dr. Juli Slattery's book, Rethinking Sexuality. Show notes are found at: youareworththefight.com/pod/rethinking-sexuality-series-part-4

Do you believe the gospel is written within our sexuality? Alli and Pam are joined by Pastor Michael Rauls as they discuss that statement, which may sound a little wild the first time you hear it, but is absolutely true! This is the third paradigm shift from the book Rethinking Sexuality by Dr. Juli Slattery, which is what this entire series is based on. There are seven paradigm shifts that are vital to "rethinking our sexuality" in order to understand God's design for sex and then teach that to our children, and this one is so huge friends. Listen in to learn more and discover for yourself the truth of this statement. Show notes are found at: youareworththefight.com/pod/rethinking-sexuality-series-part-3

Part 2 of this series is all about Chapter 3 in the book Rethinking Sexuality, which focuses on the truth that every sexual issue is a spiritual issue.  In this episode, Alli and Pam are joined by Worth the Fight team member, Vicki Boutwell. They dig into this topic discussing where we get our truth from and what we truly believe about sex - do we believe what culture says about sex or what God says about sex? Listen in now!

This series is focused on the book Rethinking Sexuality by Dr. Juli Slattery, so this season will be a little different than previous ones! We'll have 7 parts to this series, each tackling a paradigm shift that must take place in order to truly rethink sexuality. Part 1 of this series is about sexual discipleship. Never heard of it or want to learn more? This one's for you, because this is a term that we, as Christians, should all be aware of in our relationships! Join Alli as she discusses with Pam Cunningham and Brandon Phillips about this important shift. Purchase Dr. Juli Slattery's book: https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Sexuality-Gods-Design-Matters/dp/0735291470Podcast show notes: 

In Episode 14 of the SheRecovery Podcast, Crystal chats with Dr. Juli Slattery of Authentic Intimacy. In this interview, Juli defines three narratives that build the framework of our sexual lives (for better or for worse): Cultural, Purity, and Spiritual.

You're not going to want to miss this incredible, information-packed episode with Rosie Makinney from @fightforloveministries. Rosie dives right into how the spouse who's been hurt by their spouses pornography usage can find healing despite the grief, betrayal, and broken trust that comes with this issue. Not only does she go into some of the science behind what's going on in the spouse who's watched porn's brain- but she chats about body image and why there's absolutely no need to compare ourselves with the airbrushed women and men on the screen.  This is a big subject to tackle, but Alana and Paris want you to know that you are seen. Your trauma and grief are very real. And there is hope to come through this deep season with an even stronger relationship than before!  If you don't already be sure to follow us on Instagram, @kingdomsexuality, to see weekly sex positions, challenges, giveaways, and so much more!

Join us today to learn how to share Jesus' love with those who've experienced the pain of sexual brokenness! Our guest will place our sexuality in the broader context of God's heart and work for us on earth; offers a framework for seeing the whole picture instead of focusing on one problem; and provides practical steps to implementing sexual discipleship.

The one-and-done "sex talk" doesn't work, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to your kids about sex. When it comes to sexuality, your kids are growing up in a completely different world than you did. You probably won't find much success in just telling them what to think about sexuality; you're going to have to show them HOW to think about it. Sound hard? It is. Need help and encouragement?

Should you ask your spouse about their previous sex life? What if you find yourself thinking about sex with your former spouse-is that a problem? And, what if your spouse is thinking about sex with their former spouse-should you be concerned? What if there are clear differences in your sex life now and then-what do you do with that and how do you keep it from being a problem? Healthy marital sexuality is important to the vitality of any marriage. More and more, married couples are engaging in re-sex, that is, a second or subsequent sexual relationship. Whether the story is death, divorce, or relationship dissolution, one or both partners has had a sexual relationship with at least one other person prior to the current marriage. Dr. Juli Slattery joins Ron Deal to have a conversation about sex.

Meghna Mahambrey is an award-winning instructor and Ph.D. candidate who studies, teaches, and conducts research on all things romance and sex. Early in her career, Meghna wondered why nobody else seemed to be asking the questions she had around relationships and sexuality. So she spent years getting the answers, and now she helps others bridge the gap between research and real-life through SPARK Relationship & Sexuality Workshops, educating the community on matters close to their hearts (and hips). What Brett asks: [03:36] How did you get into this work? [05:59] Did you feel the cultural influences and constructs from your parents and lineage? [14:28] What shaped you during this period of your life during your early career? [20:47] What was it like questioning the social constructs that everyone else believed in? [23:18] How do you take the steps from teaching into going deeper with these subjects? [31:50] Would you be willing to share more about your first relationship? [33:57] What happened when you saw your situation in a textbook? [39:28] How did music play a role in your life? [45:45] How are you using Spark to educate the community on this subject?

In this episode I talk about the areas in life I have noticed pretending becomes very tempting for us women. In church, on social media, and in the bedroom are three topics of faking it that I focus on. Lastly I share what the Bible has to say about taking off the mask and boasting in our weaknesses.  Quotes: Dr. Juli Slattery from her book Rethinking Sexuality 

Rethinking Sexuality - Matt Cassidy and Juli Slattery

Georgene Rice invites Julie Slattery, PhD. clinical psychologist, author, speaker, president and co-founder of Authentic Intimacy, to share about her book, “Rethinking Sexuality: God’s Design and Why It Matters.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode of the Undone Redone Podcast, Tray and Melody sit down with Author Juli Slattery to discuss sexuality. Juli explains how sexuality is often misinterpreted in the church and that only 10% of Christians enter a marriage without some form of sexual experience from a previous relationship. Juli then discusses what to do for Christians that reach marriage with or without baggage and say "Ok... Now what?" We encourage our listeners to check out her new book "Rethinking Sexuality" and visiting her website https://www.authenticintimacy.com/ for more resources on properly defining God's view of healthy sexuality in marriage.

Dr Juli Slattery of Authentic Intimacy joins Carolyn and Jennalee this week to talk about rethinking our sexuality. We talk about why God created sex, and if He is pleased with it. We talk about sex within marriage, and how to enjoy it the way God intended us to. We talk about all the things the church has told us about sex, and what a real Biblical narrative is about it. Dr Juli can be found at www.authenticintimacy.com 

EPISODE 4 We must be clearly aware that there is a spiritual battle going on around us. We can better preserve the reality of holy sexuality if we realize that it is under attack in the spiritual realms. As Christians, we engage in the battle to help people because we care for them. This is not really a battle between political parties or cultural interest groups. It’s a battle for God to be lifted high and win the hearts of people for whom He died.   What we talked about [3:15] Juli Slattery states, “It’s not enough to be vaguely aware of some spiritual battle in the ‘heavenly realms’ (Ephesians 6:12). How can we fight what we have not acknowledged? How can we stand against an enemy if we don’t recognize his impact in our lives?” Dr. John weighs in. [5:23] How does Jesus describe the enemy? [6:28] Dr. John relates stories of clients who were exposed to pornography at around age 8 and talks about how that effects the mind. [7:43] When Jesus began his public ministry, he read from Isaiah 61:1: “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” What does his statement tell us about the world we live? [8:33] John Eldredge commented in his book Waking the Dead, “If we are in an epic battle, then the language of the Bible fits perfectly. Things are not what they seem. We are at war. The war is against your heart, your glory.” God created us for greatness. [11:47] Juli Slattery wrote, “Satan has convinced us that sex can be separated from its inherent spiritual and relational significance. We buy his lies when we say, ‘sex is just sex.’” Do you think that a current example is sexting? [13:15] The four different kinds of love. [17:05] What are some of the other strategies used by Satan? Russell Moore explains how the devil works: “The devil works in two ways: by deception, ‘You will not surely die’ (Genesis 3:4), and by accusation, ‘who accuses them day and night before our God’” (Revelation 12:10). [21:09] What insights might Daniel’s life offer us some understanding on this topic of how we live between two worlds? Daniel offers us insight into the struggle of living in the world as a follower of Jesus in three areas: our worldview, our appetites, and our identity. [24:48] Insight on this comment from Juli Slattery: “We fight the spiritual battle around sexuality because we care about God and about people.  We are fighting for people, not against them.” ACTION ITEM: How can we help people come out of the dark shadows of their secrecy and shame?   Books mentioned this episode Rethinking Sexuality by Dr. Juli Slattery (https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Sexuality-Gods-Design-Matters/dp/0735291470/) Waking the Dead by John Eldredge (https://www.amazon.com/Waking-Dead-Glory-Heart-Fully/dp/0785288295/) The Four Loves by C.S.

The post Rethinking Sexuality appeared first on First Christian Church at Brock Hall.

Jim and Cole talk all things sex and how our sexual relationships reveal what we believe about God and whose in charge of our lives.

Adam Holz talks about the Golden Globes awards, The Escape Room, On the Basis of Sex, and A Dog's Way Home. Then, Dr. Juli Slattery discusses sexuality: rethinking the subject and finding wholeness in God's Word.

  Dr. Juli Slattery, president of Authentic Intimacy, joins us for this episode. Her most recent book, Rethinking Sexuality: God’s Design and Why It Matters, challenges us to think about sexuality in new ways. We talk with Juli about sexual brokenness, why the enemy likes to attack our sexuality, and how we can pray about our sex lives (even during sex!). From the Bible What does God have to say about brokenness and how we can fight the enemy's attacks on us (even in the area of sexuality)? And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Dr. Juli Slattery

Clinical psychologist and author, Dr. Juli Slattery, joins the show to talk about her new book, Rethinking Sexuality. She dives into how Christians can reclaim sexuality in a broken culture and gives deep insight on the topic.

Who comes to your mind when you think about mentors or disciple-makers? Who comes to mind when you think about sexual discipleship? Anybody? Whether or not we realize it, we are discipled by the world. We learn the significance of sex, its importance (or lack thereof), and how to approach it by the world. We need another way. Our friend and co-laborer in the Kingdom, Dr. Juli Slattery, author, speaker, and podcaster walks us through a beautiful start of this conversation and some highlights in her fantastic new book, Rethinking Sexuality. We are real, we are gospel-focused, but because we can't ever keep things too serious, we talk about ridiculous but important-to-us things: How the gateway drug to alcohol is Mountain Dew (you know we are right), clean mullets, singing the Circle of Life at the top of your lungs, Morning Ninja Steve, and what if everything you ate tasted like bananas? It's a fun game of "Would you Rather," and a deep talk with our friend Dr. Juli Slattery. Highlight: "The [disciple-maker] grit doesn't come from this view of, 'I have so much to offer somebody else.' It comes from, 'I have encountered God in such a powerful way that I am just a leaky vessel that I want the Lord to pour through.'"

What sexual discipleship is and is not; the difference between sexual discipleship and sexual education; how to put it into practice. Quoted in this episode: Rethinking Sexuality, by Juli Slattery

All boys together? Nudge nudge. The belief that all male institutions are breeding grounds for homosexuality, has been a constant one. But what does go on behind the doors of the executive boardroom or the communal changing room? Is homosexuality the elephant in the room? The serpent in the grass? Or is it all just homosexual wish fulfilment fantasy? Justin Bengry explores all male institutions and their links with homosociality and homosexuality. Speaker Justin Bengry is an Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. His work has appeared in several journals and books including History Workshop Journal, The Queer 1950s: Rethinking Sexuality in the Postwar Years, and in the forthcoming Queer British History: New Approaches and Perspectives. He is currently working on a new book The Pink Pound: Queer Profits in Twentieth-Century Britain.
