Helping Women Embrace their Bodies and Sexuality

Why do we fall? This is a deep question and we can’t ever fully answer the “why” questions. But it’s worth the conversation. In this episode, Stephen and I dive deep into the emotional and spiritual tangles that we all face. We begin by talking about the roots of our emotional programming and then move on to the emotional-spiritual connection and the complexities of stumbling and falling; it’s not just about sin. Emotional maturity is just as vital. Finally, we aim to provide some practical wisdom for facing emotional pain and the power of community in our healing and recovery journey. Even though we fall, we can get back up! For daily thoughts to help on this emotional growth journey, visit DoctorMarriage.org.  Topics Covered in this Episode:Interconnectedness of emotional and spiritual aspects of human behaviorDevelopment of emotional program in childhood and its influence on adult behaviorCommon disconnect between strong spiritual knowledge and emotional strugglesBiblical concept of sin and falling short of the glory of GodInfluence of parental values and language on emotional program developmentChallenges of navigating relationships and emotions in childhoodRecognizing and addressing unresolved emotional issues in relation to spiritual struggles and addictionsUnderstanding the connection between spiritual and emotional programs for maturity and healingExploring breakdowns in the emotional program and addressing emotional painSeeking community support for emotional healing and maturity

Understanding God's Design for Sex in Today's Confused Culture

Today’s podcast covers a LOT of territory, including the complexities of masturbation, its connection to our emotional health, and the differences between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset when it comes to living in victory over sexual sin.  Our guest today is Matt Cline, founder of Restored Ministries. In our conversation, we explore the significant role emotional well-being plays in navigating sexual brokenness. We emphasize the importance of understanding our emotions to discover genuine happiness and connection. We also explore the intriguing concept of scarcity versus abundance in the context of our sexuality. Matt's perspective on how a scarcity mindset can lead to feelings of isolation is eye-opening, and he highlights how adopting an attitude of gratitude can help us perceive our lives more abundantly. To cap off the conversation, we point listeners to some valuable resources provided by Restored Ministries, including the Pure Freedom Community and the Pure Victory Podcast, which offer support to those on this path.  To learn more about Matt and his ministry, visit RestoredMinistries.ca.
