| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. This is Francie Winslow, and I'm so glad that you're here with me on the Heaven and Your Home podcast. I am excited today because we are going to jump in to a really specific conversation on what has formed our view of sex or our sex view, as I'll call |
| 0:24.6 | it in this episode. Before we get any further, though, I want to pause like normal and just invite |
| 0:30.5 | the Lord into this conversation. Whatever you're doing, just keep going and just open up your |
| 0:35.5 | heart to the Lord for a minute while we come to Him in prayer. |
| 0:39.6 | Father, thank you for the opportunity to get to know your heart on this very core subject. |
| 0:46.7 | We invite you into this topic to rewire our thinking, to reveal your heart, to renew our minds |
| 0:53.4 | so that we can see this gift how you see it, |
| 0:56.3 | the gift of sex, the gift of our bodies, the gift of marriage, and our calling to partner |
| 1:01.3 | with you in mission on this earth. Father, be glorified in this podcast, in these conversations |
| 1:08.5 | that we're having, and bring revelation of your heart to us. Set us free, |
| 1:14.1 | God, to see the goodness that you have given us and to be free from the lies of the enemy around |

| 1:26.1 | In Jesus' name, amen. Okay, so I am really passionate, |
| 1:31.6 | you guys. I'm really passionate about us re-seeing sex, about us revisiting this concept of being |
| 1:38.8 | image bearers and what it means that our bodies are good and God made them and our sexuality is good and our gender is good |
| 1:47.2 | and married sex is good and all of it is a gift that has a larger purpose. They are all parts of the |
| 1:54.5 | story that God has written on our body so that we can know him better so that we can glorify him |
| 2:00.2 | fully on this earth. And there is so much to unpack around that. But before we can know him better, so that we can glorify him fully on this earth. And there's so much |
| 2:03.0 | to unpack around that. But before we can begin to reimagine this gift of sex according to a |
| 2:08.4 | biblical view, before we can even allow him to reform our thinking, I think what is necessary is to |
| 2:15.4 | pause and examine the lens through which we see sex. As I have spoken to |
| 2:22.1 | women, really all over the country in different countries, thanks to Mops International and them |
