The lies the enemy tells us about our bodies, our worth, and our sexuality
How shame can affect emotional and physical intimacy
How God desires for you to experience joy, connection, and pleasure in marriage
Practical encouragement for healing and restoring intimacy with your spouse
If you want to understand intimacy from a biblical lens, this episode is filled with truth and grace.
