God Designed Your Body for Pleasure — Here's the Theology (Christian Marriage) // 45

Somewhere along the way, many Christian women absorbed this message: Sex is mostly for men. Our role is to be available… responsive… and not want it too much. But that message doesn’t actually come from Scripture. In this episode, Michelle goes back to the beginning—to Genesis—before sin, before shame, and before distortion entered the world. Because when you look closely at God’s design for the female body, something becomes very clear: Female pleasure was never an accident. God intentionally designed women with the capacity for sexual pleasure. That wasn’t added later, and it wasn’t removed after the fall. So why do so many Christian women feel uncomfortable with it? In this conversation, Michelle unpacks the theology, the biology, and the cultural messages that have shaped how Christian women think about sex—and offers practical ways to start rebuilding intimacy without shame. Because pleasure inside covenant marriage is not sinful. It’s part of God’s design.
