Episode 4 - "Thou Shalt Be Thirsty" with Lyvonne Briggs (Sensual Faith)

If God made all things, then that includes butt plugs and orgasms. So why is there so much shame dished out in the Lord's name? Lyonne Briggs, a.k.a "Pastor Bae," joins us to explain that colonized religion is the reason for the division between divinity and us all having a dirty good time. Lyvonne Briggs is an Emmy award-winning body and sex positive woman spiritualist, preacher and writer. She's also the host of the "Sensual Faith" podcast, which is also the title of her new book. Lyvonne has been featured in Essence, Cosmopolitan and The Washington Post. And Sojourners magazine named her one of its "11 Women Shaping the Church" in 2019.
