| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. This is Francie Winslow. I am so thankful that you're here with me today. Today we're going to jump in on the Heaven in Your Home podcast and we are going to just talk about sex. We're going to talk about sex, though, from a different |
| 0:23.6 | perspective than you may be used to hearing about it talked about. We're going to dive into |
| 0:29.6 | what I believe is part of God's design and heart for sex. And we're going to explode some of the |
| 0:35.7 | old ways of thinking and really open up our hearts and minds to the scriptures |
| 0:39.3 | to allow the Holy Spirit to reframe sex for us to really think is there more to sex than what we've been told by the world and sometimes even by the church? |
| 0:49.7 | Is there more to it? Is there more purpose, more vision, more meaning to it than we have been told? |
| 1:01.1 | So before we jump into that, let's pray. Father, thank you so much for this gift of airwaves |
| 1:07.5 | and communication and the opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, and more and more |
| 1:14.0 | understanding of your heart as we gain it. |
| 1:16.7 | We want to know you intimately, God. |
| 1:19.6 | Would you open up our eyes and our hearts and our minds to encounter you on this topic? |
| 1:24.1 | And I pray for transformation in our midst, in our homes, in our hearts. |
| 1:28.4 | From the inside out, would you bring your kingdom of heaven? Would you heal us from old wounds |
| 1:33.3 | and old ways of seeing? And would you restore us to see and to know you in a clear and fresh way? |
| 1:39.6 | And to see and know the gifts that you've given us in a clear and fresh way. Transform us by your Holy Spirit. |
| 1:46.0 | In Jesus' name, amen. |
| 1:48.5 | So what if sex is not really about a man's need or who has a higher drive? |
| 1:54.7 | What if it is something totally different than the world or our past wounds or the whispers of the church ladies who were a little |
| 2:03.9 | disillusioned or our own weariness in our own journey. What if it's different than all of those |
| 2:10.8 | experiences have told us? In a previous episode, I talked about the ways that our sex view has been |
| 2:17.4 | formed. And it is those things |
| 2:19.2 | often. It's the world or our wounds or the whispers of others or our weariness informs us. |
