December 02, 2021 Spiritual and Sexual Development + the Power of Lipstick
It can be extraordinarily difficult to break free from the framing and meanings that we were handed in childhood. It is easy to perpetuate these systems unwittingly as adults because it is what we know--it's the water we are swimming in.
The process of waking up to the way we are participating in unhealthy systems requires a lot of self-confrontation, faith, and courage. It means breaking free of the systems we know and taking the more courageous path of offering our partners and children something better than what we received.
In this NEW podcast episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Paul Duane of The Soul Anarchist podcast for an engaging and powerful discussion of everything from the evolution of Jennifer's understanding of and relationship to God to the power of lipstick and high-waisted jeans.
Listen to the full episode to learn more about:
* The stages of moral, spiritual, and sexual development
* Gender role ideology and how it impacts our perception of God
* Obedience and integrity
* Jennifer's spiritual journey
