204. Summer Lovin’ Series: Week Six, The Science of Sex

Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body. In this episode, Francie talks about... The science behind God’s good gift of intimacy.   The GOODNESS of God in our biology and all the amazing God-inspired wonders that happen on a physiological level in our mind, body and emotions when we enjoy the gift of intimacy.  The fact that there is a grand narrative … the love story of God ... the very Gospel … embedded into the nature of sexuality, marriage, and into the story of husband and wife. How our bodies - our very most private parts, our brains, our hormones, our emotions and our relationships - testify to God’s wisdom, creativity, and genius- all by Him, for Him and for His glory.   Romans 11:36- For EVERYTHING comes from Him- and exists by His power and intended for His glory.   A prayer to see God’s good design on our bodies:  God, it’s clear that there’s so much resistance in this area.  But I know you to be a God of breakthrough, healing and restoration. I ask for your re-alignment in my mindset on sex, my body, and the gift of intimacy in my marriage.  Help me to discover your view, your intention for my body, my sexuality, my family and my household. Help me embrace that my body is GOOD. Help me to see and celebrate your power, goodness and wisdom that is revealed in my body- this temple in which you delightfully dwell.     Keep learning with Francie!
