Bad Theology Won't Fix in the Bedroom: What Purity Culture Left Behind // 37

You’ve prayed. You’ve tried. You’ve shown up—maybe in lingerie—and it still doesn’t make sense. Sis, you are not broken. You were just never formed for this. ✨ Episode Summary: In this raw and powerful follow-up to our conversation on exhaustion and intimacy, Michelle Castro takes us deeper into the real reason so many Christian wives feel stuck in the bedroom—and it’s not for lack of effort. From purity culture’s silence post-“I do” to the confusion we carry into marriage, this episode is a bold wake-up call: the problem isn’t you—it’s what you were (and weren’t) taught. Michelle gets real about shame, bad theology, and why surface-level advice like “have more sex” is missing the whole point. With passion and grace, she invites us to slow down, examine what we’ve believed, and step into God’s truth about desire, marriage, and biblical intimacy. 🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why “just try harder” isn’t healing your intimacy issues The damaging oversimplifications of purity culture How performance-based thinking keeps you stuck in shame Why formation > behavior when it comes to biblical intimacy How to start asking the right questions about sex, faith, and marriage Why confusion is not failure—and how truth brings freedom A practical next step to begin healing: the Naked & Unashamed 31-day journey 👉🏻 CONNECT WITH MICHELLE 💰 Save 10% with Budget Besties Simplified Budget System - use code MICHELLE ☕️ Buy Me a Coffee - Love the podcast, consider supporting RIP IT OFF 📖 Naked & Unashamed: A 31-Day Journey - save 10% with code SAVE10 💌 Free Download: 5 Lies Christian Women Believe About Sex & Marriage ⭐ Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts - Help other Christian wives find healing and biblical truth about intimacy. 📲 Instagram: @ripitoffpodcast 📩 Speaking & guest inquiries: [email protected]
