Send us a textLanguage wields more power than we often consider, particularly when it comes to sexuality.As we've noticed, the words we use to discuss topics like abortion - 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' - carry substantial weight and can reveal underlying worldviews. We've also seen a fascinating evolution in how society talks about gender transitioning, shifting from 'sex change operation' to 'gender reassignment surgery', and now, 'gender confirmation surgery'.So, we're going to delve into these linguistic nuances and explore how changing terms reflect changing societal attitudes.But it's not just about linguistics.The conversation takes a deeper turn as we consider the very foundation of our understanding of gender and sexuality. In a world that has seemingly redefined these terms without concrete scientific proof, it's important to approach this discussion with compassion and grace.For those who are caught up in this societal shift, and for those who have undergone extreme body alterations, we extend our deepest empathy. Remember, it is only through God's words that we find the truth.Tune in as we navigate these complex waters, seeking truth and understanding in every conversation.Sacred By Design Women's Retreat 2025 - Register Today!

Send us a textAre you hiding parts of yourself out of fear or shame, most notably in relation to sexual sins and insecurities? You're not alone.We'll venture back to the Garden of Eden, exploring the original concept of being 'naked and unashamed', and how our perception of vulnerability has been distorted since sin became part of our world.This episode serves as a sanctuary to inspect our fears, acknowledging that it's normal to feel endangered as we expose our truest selves, and how experiences of shame often amplify this apprehension.Trusting in societal norms that equate strength with solitude can lead us astray. In fact, we challenge the misconception that the 'better' you are, the less you need others.Instead, we promote interdependence and community, asserting that the healthiest, most attractive, and godly among us are those integrated individuals who are not afraid to reveal their true selves to reliable friends or spouses.For those wrestling with sexual integrity and recovery from unwanted sexual behavior, this discussion highlights the importance of unearthing the parts of ourselves we've often buried. Join us, as we confront the falsehood that has kept us prisoners and embrace the liberation of being wholly known and loved.Sacred By Design Women's Retreat 2025 - Register Today!
