Hi friends, welcome back. It's such a privilege that you would share a few minutes of your day

with me here. Thank you for being here. I want to start out with a testimony from one of our listeners.

Hi, Francie. Thank you for your ministry. I've been married 27 years and due to lots of sexual

pain in my childhood and sins in our early marriage, sex

has been a challenge for us. You wouldn't know it given that I've raised six children,

but I've learned a lot from your podcast and I've heard about sex and sexuality in a way

that I've never heard it before. It's given me much peace, excitement, and hope for infusing

life and love and

passion and joy and freedom back into our sex life. I'm looking forward with hope to the future

and to the time we still have together. So grateful for your honesty, passion, and words of life.

I'm so grateful for this listener and for each of you who have been so transparent

with your stories as you send them in, I'm constantly amazed at the power of God's truth

and God's heart and God's intention and the wisdom of God in our bodies to really bring healing

as we bring to the forefront of our thinking and our mind and let him renew our mind

and our thinking with what's true and lovely and good and admirable and praiseworthy and

really allow him to transform our thinking and our living. And this mama just really encouraged me

with her great experience that she's had as a very experienced mother and experienced wife,

the way she is continuing to lean into God's heart to pursue more with a hope for the future,

knowing that there is always more in Christ as we grow as we lean into his healing for us

and the restoration that he has to offer us.

So I hope you enjoy today's conversation. We are going there on

sex toys. It is a topic I get asked about a lot. And so I'm praying that today offers you a bit
