The Purity Culture Lie That Followed You Into the Bedroom // 44

So many Christian women quietly believe this lie: Good Christian girls don’t desire sex. Maybe no one ever said those exact words out loud. But somewhere along the way you absorbed the message that desire is dangerous, arousal is embarrassing, and wanting intimacy makes you less “holy.” So you learned to suppress it. And then you got married… expecting everything to suddenly switch. But suppression doesn’t turn into confidence overnight. It turns into confusion. In this episode, Michelle dismantles one of the most common beliefs Christian women carry about sex and walks through what Scripture actually says about desire, intimacy, and God’s design for marriage. Because the problem isn’t your body. It’s the theology many of us unknowingly built around it. And the good news? What was built can be dismantled.
