BONUS: Let’s Talk About the “S” Word: Sex, Shame & Body Confidence for Christian Wives with Brittany Braswell & Lacy Lain

Most Christian women were never really taught how to think about sex, only what to avoid, fear, or feel ashamed of. So when marriage arrives, intimacy often comes with confusion, insecurity, and the lingering feeling that your body isn’t “enough.”
In this honest (and slightly uncomfortable—but in the best way) episode, Shaela opens the door to the real, grace-filled conversation Christian wives have needed for years. She breaks down the connection between body image, shame, spiritual formation, and intimacy, and why so many women struggle to feel confident when the lights go off and the covers come off.
If you’ve ever wished someone would talk about sex without making it weird, clinical, or worldly… this one’s for you.
What's inside:
Why so many Christian women feel awkward or ashamed talking about sex
How purity culture shaped our beliefs about our bodies (and how to heal)
The link between body confidence and intimacy in Christian marriage
Why feeling “not attractive enough,” “not confident enough,” or “not spiritual enough” affects married intimacy more than you think
How your fitness, self-talk, and emotional rhythms influence your sex life
How to invite God into places of insecurity, embarrassment, and disconnection
God designed intimacy to be good, not guilt-inducing. Healing begins when we gently confront the lies we’ve believed about our bodies and sexuality, and replace them with biblical truth:
Your body is good (Genesis 1).
Shame was never God’s design (Genesis 2:25).
Intimacy in marriage is holy, not embarrassing (1 Corinthians 7).
Spiritual maturity doesn’t mean avoiding hard conversations—it means inviting Jesus into them.
Episode Takeaway
Your sex life isn’t separate from your spiritual life or your health journey. When you heal shame, nourish your body, and grow your confidence, intimacy becomes lighter, freer, and more connected.
This is not about being “sexy.”
This is about being whole.
