Female by Design

You can't give away something that you don't own yourself. When it comes to talking to your children about their body, their gender and their sexuality the stakes seem increasingly high.

And, while you might be looking for the best formula for sharing a Biblical worldview, let's start the conversation with a strong foundation about what your body reveals and why your body matters.

In this series, we will unpack a solid foundation and understanding of theology of the body. This understanding provides a framework for a foundation to support you as you teach your children a valuable dialogue that goes beyond a "sex talk" or a "puberty talk."

Let's be informed so we can form our children's hearts and minds about their body, their gender and their sexuality in a way that helps them navigate their own journey and also be a light in the world.

Intimacy doesn't always mean or need to be intercourse.

In fact, with the stressors of a busy life, you may need a way to switch gears and connect even if you are tired or in a rut. In today's episode, you'll learn about connecting intimately through sensual, erotic massage. Let's lean in to intimate touch. Sensual massage can be a powerful way to gain confidence and an effective way to communicate about touch as you build connection with your spouse.

Join my real-life sex mentor, Dr. Jennifer Degler, as we answer your questions about sexual pleasure and orgasm. We cover a range of topics, including sexual arousal, becoming more orgasmic, self-stimulation, constructive ways to talk with your spouse about sexual pleasure and what to do when things are hard.

We're answering your questions because this is all God's territory.

You'll hear practical, straight talk and be encouraged to walk in more freedom as you pursue sexual intimacy in your marriage. Whether you've been married six months, six years or sixty years, listen in and learn about how your body works.

About Dr. Jennifer Degler:

Psychologist, life coach, author, speaker, wife, and mom, Dr. Jennifer Degler is passionate about helping people create healthy, successful relationships. As a lifelong Kentuckian and UK graduate, she bleeds blue for the Big Blue Nation. You won't find her in a coffee shop (she thinks coffee tastes like dirt), but you are likely to find her kayaking and hiking with her high school sweetheart husband, Jeff, as they enjoy their newly empty nest. Her fabulous and funny adult children, Josie and Jake, delight in telling their friends that their mom runs a sex shop when, in reality, she founded CWIVES, a ministry to help Christian wives make their sex lives sizzle. Sex shop, ministry–sounds just the same to us too.

Your body matters. Yes! And, part of your feminine body includes the monthly arrival of your period. Is it possible to reframe the way we view our period? Rather than thinking of our period as something we dread or try to cover up, how can we reframe our thinking to bless the way God has made us as women? How does our period reveal unique image bearing qualities and why does it matter? This is a unique conversation, but it's really important to you and to our daughters.

There is a more beautiful narrative than you might even imagine.

How do we lean into sex during exhausting, hard, or stressful seasons? Even during seasons when sex is far from your mind and you just want to fall into your bed with exhaustion at night?

In this episode, you'll hear about the ways sex can actually be a "get to" that allows your body to be flooded with feel good hormones to benefit a season of hardship, exhaustion or stress. God has created your body so wonderfully that sex can allow for tremendous stress relief, especially during seasons when you need comfort.

Listen in and hear encouragement to help you think about "the more, the more" in your marriage and how frequency in sex can provide incredible health benefits in addition to strengthening your emotional connection.

Have you considered the value of having a mentor to help you grow your womanhood, femininity and your sex life? We tend to live pretty independently, but that's not how God created us to live. We are created for community. It is easy to embrace the idea of mentorship when it comes to spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible study, child-rearing…but what it would look like to have a mentor that can help you live more fully alive as a woman, in your sexuality. This is all God's territory!

Listen in for some good ideas for inviting another woman into your life to explore the theology of the body, the beauty of the way God created women and how to celebrate sexuality and sexual pleasure. It can be as simple as deciding to read a book or listening to this podcast together.
