Summary
If you've ever been taught that purity means ignorance…
That modesty means shrinking back…
Or that submission means silencing your voice…
This episode is a breath of fresh air, and a bold invitation to something better.
Francie picks up where she left off in "The Lies We've Believed" series with a powerful reframe: moving beyond fear-based rules toward a new foundation of sexual wholeness. One that honors God, blesses your body, and invites joy.
She shares her journey of healing from shame and disconnection, and the three pillars that are reshaping her, and so many women's, sexual discipleship:
Education – Learn the beauty of your body, your design, and God's intent
Celebration – Say thank you for what God made good
Integration – Bring your sexuality into your spiritual life, every day
If you're ready to let go of fear and legalism, and live fully as a woman made in God's image, this episode is for you.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friend, before we jump into today's episode, I want to personally invite you to a brand new growth course masterclass that I'm teaching on Wednesday, November 12th. It's called Becoming Confident with Sexual Communication. If talking about sex feels awkward, intimidating, or just plain confusing, especially in the bedroom. |
| 0:22.7 | You are not alone. |
| 0:24.0 | I have been there. |
| 0:25.5 | But here's the good news. |
| 0:26.7 | This part of your relationship is meant to be a space of joy, playfulness, and celebration, not shame or silence. |
| 0:35.0 | In this 90-minute class, I'm going to walk you through practical ways to |
| 0:38.9 | move from feeling unsure or stuck to becoming a woman who has tools to speak up with confidence, |
| 0:46.1 | clarity, and joy in the bedroom. We'll cover why sexual communication matters and how shame |
| 0:52.1 | shuts us down, how to bless your own body and speak |
| 0:55.5 | life over your spouse, some simple, sacred ways to express desire without fear, and how to use |
| 1:02.8 | playful language, flirty text, and fantasy to build deeper connection. And that's just the tip of |
| 1:08.0 | the iceberg. Whether you're newly married, decades in, or somewhere in |
| 1:11.9 | between, this is for you. The live session is Wednesday, November 12th. But a replay will be available if you |
| 1:19.1 | can't join us in real time. You can sign up now at francy winslow.com. And I can't wait to walk this |
| 1:25.6 | journey with you. Hey guys, it's Francie. |
| 1:29.0 | Welcome back to Female by Design. |
| 1:31.3 | Today's podcast is a bit of an response to a series that I did a few weeks ago on the lies I've believed, the lies around modesty, purity, and submission. |
| 1:47.7 | Again, all of those things are good. Purity, |
| 1:54.7 | modesty, submission. There is beauty, truth, goodness, wisdom in those principles. |
| 2:03.4 | Right in the middle of those principles, though, are also some severely distorted ideas that have led to serious consequences for me and for countless women when we get wrapped up and |
| 2:09.8 | misunderstandings around modesty, purity, and submission. And what happens is the life force of a woman |
| 2:16.4 | gets diminished, squashed, silenced, and shamed. |
