268: How to Love Through Our Sexuality, with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife

For so many Christian couples, sexuality and spirituality can feel like they’re at odds. We’ve been taught that to be holy means to suppress desire—but what if our sexuality is actually one of the most powerful ways to love?

In this deeply insightful episode, we talk with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife about how to integrate faith, desire, and embodiment. We explore how repressing our sexuality keeps us disconnected, how true intimacy begins with self-honesty, and why learning to love through our sexuality is a profoundly spiritual act.

You’ll hear about:

• Why sexual integration, not suppression, leads to spiritual strength

• How ego, fear, and control distort connection—and what it means to love from the soul

• The difference between sex as validation vs. sex as communion

• How couples can cultivate that eros energy—aliveness, joy, and freedom—in their marriage

Whether you’ve wrestled with shame around sexuality or you just want a richer, more connected relationship, this conversation will inspire you to see your body and your marriage in a whole new light.
