Hey friend! Today’s episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast might feel a little… touchy. We’re diving into Chapter 12 of our book Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire, and we’re talking about something that’s rarely discussed in church circles with truth, grace, or clarity: self-exploration, the "M" word, and s*xual shame.

Depending on the community you grew up in, you may have heard one of two messages:

  1. “Self exploration is a normal curiosity—just something private we all explore.”
  2. OR... “Don’t touch that! It’s dirty, shameful, sinful—and God is watching!”

If you grew up with the first message, count yourself lucky. But if you were in the second (like so many of us), this episode is for you.

Josh & Cassie (Certified s*x therapist & s*x educators) bring gentle, honest clarity to a topic that's often wrapped in guilt and confusion. They’ll remind you that:

  • God created your body—including everything downstairs
  • If what you’re feeling is shame, fear, or disgust—it may not be Jesus talking
  • And you are completely normal for being curious about yourself!

This episode is all about breaking off shame, healing your relationship with your own body, and learning to hear God’s voice—not fear’s voice—when it comes to your s*xuality to heal this part of your intimacy with your spouse.

Key Takeaways:

  • What Scripture actually says—and doesn’t say—about self-exploration
  • Shame around s*xuality is often inherited, not Holy Spirit–inspired
  • Curiosity doesn’t disqualify you from holiness—it may be your first step toward healing
  • The difference between shame-based silence and Spirit-led curiosity

If no one’s ever told you this, let us be the first: Your body is not a source of shame. It’s a gift from God, created with intention and purpose—including the parts designed for pleasure. It’s time to silence the lies, confront the guilt, and walk in the kind of freedom Jesus actually offers—one rooted in grace, truth, and joy.
