In this engaging conversation, Angela Griffith, known as The Christian Sexpert, shares her journey into the field of sexuality and the impact of purity culture on women's sexual health. She discusses the differences in how men and women experience sexuality within the context of Christianity, the importance of addressing sexual coercion, and the need for better sexual health education. Angela emphasizes the role of sex toys in enhancing intimacy and the importance of creating safe spaces for sexual education, particularly for those raised in restrictive environments. The conversation highlights the ongoing cultural shift within the church and the need for open discussions about sexuality.
A challenger of the status quo and a disruptor of what has always been, Angela Griffith is known as The Christian Sexpert to over 100,000 social media followers. She has dedicated over 20 years to the study of human sexuality and God's design for sex. Her passion is coaching women to discover a healthier relationship with their God-given sexuality.
Angela's relationship with Jesus started at age 19 and while she wasn't raised in purity culture, she did get a heaping helping of it at college after her salvation experience. She has a unique perspective on how purity culture impacts marriages.
She uses social media as a way to change the narrative from inside the house. She sees the damage of purity culture but knows that God tells us He wants us to have abundance in all areas of our lives – including sex. She is a sex and intimacy coach and uses her social media platform to provide the sex education you wish you had received. She has created multiple products designed to improve the sexual and non-sexual intimacies in your marriage.
She will have you reaching for pearls to clutch, make you laugh, make you blush, and make you search your Bible, asking, “Is she serious? It really says THAT?”
She and her husband have one child. She is a leader for the international women’s ministry Natural Christian Mommas, a homeschool mom, a lover of all things glitter, and ready to set you on a new path with your husband, telling you to, “Go have good sex!”
