Enneagram and Marriage

As we begin to refine our goals together this month, we're covering the area of sexual intimacy right off the bat with the wonderful sex educator you always wish you had, Carlie Palmer-Webb, MS! Carlie runs the popular Instagram account @theChristianSexEducator to teach people who may not have been given healthy tools about sex the chance to build beautiful intimacy together. We talk about sexual mindfulness, purity culture, low libido, differences in desire, and how we can build up sexual desire together if it's low, in seasons of raising kids, and how sharing the load helps this area to be managed well! Carlie has SO many resources on and off the air including 20 questions to ask your spouse about sex, guides for engaged and newlywed couples, and The Women-Tell-All Learning to Orgasm Guide. Listen up! Show Links: Carlie's Instagram is right here to educate you! The Women Tell-All Guide to Orgasm - Free Resource! Carlie's website and more tools!

So many individuals and couples depend on faith for life's sustenance as well as a purposeful call together in relationships, and yet many times there are often so many faith or cultural disillusionments that send us far away from the rhythms of life wrapped up with God and communities of faith, especially at this precarious moment in culture wars. Prolific author Sara Billups, Enneagram 4 (4-5 pairing) invites us into a deep and curious dive into the past as well as movements for going forward in culture with meaningful, compassionate, and justice-oriented faith rhythms in her brand new book Orphaned Believers: How a Generation of Christian Exiles Can Find Their Way Home, that we talk about together today with you.

Grief hits us all at times - as a world, as a community, and yes, even as leaders, helpers, pastors, parents, or spouses. When grief and the ensuing life-changing rhythms and questions move us to new spaces that our friends, families, and often spouses, cannot fully navigate, what can do we do? And when faith questions arise, where can we go? In other words, you must give your loss and sadness a healthy space to process so you can both honor your story as well as emerge when the time is right for new life and hope again and again. Join us for this very special episode together as we do this very thing with psychologist and Tedx speaker Dr. Mekel Harrish, PhD, Enneagram 4w3 as she shares from both the space of personal loss and her own expertise as a grief therapist with tools for us as well.

Whenever we approach spiritual growth, we look for roots in hurt or pain. Where have we gone off track with God and how does this distance or these wounds affect our relationships? In this new series on digging deep for faith individually and/or as couples, we ask hard questions - questions everyone has asked at some point but may not always feel are heard. Today we welcome powerful speaker, writer, and influencer at Proverbs 31 Ministries, author Kia Stephens as we discuss one of the key questions surrounding faith - what to do when there’s a father wound. Though Kia’s book has a special sensitivity around the huge amount of research detailing that many women have a father wound, this is a conversation all will want to take in if they have a father wound or they have a spouse who has one!
