    Excellent podcast peeps! Tons of great information and I personally appreciate that the focus was so much on solution and less on what ‘the church is doing wrong’. As married people we’ve got to communicate and respect each other. Thanks for making that so clear. That being said, I think the female correlation to this podcast that you were looking for might be that of talking. Not all women want to talk – like my wife – and the more we talk is not always better. I over communicate all the time and it has not helped our marriage, but I keep thinking if I ‘communicate’ more she’ll ‘get it’ and communicate more with me – like I can force her to open up if I do. I’m slowly learning that it’s sometimes just better to ‘be’ and … be still. That’s communication too. Anyway, just a podcast idea to flush out… or not 😉 Thanks for all you do.

    Please invite Juli Slattery to be a guest on a future episode. You quoted her as saying, “We all have a level of sexual brokenness” which is so true. Her ministry has done wonderful things to aid my own healing journey.

      She is great! We actually have had her on the podcast before. Here’s the link: https://puredesire.org/podcast/sexual-discipleship-w-juli-slattery/

    Trevor – I’ll definitely check out Episode 108. There are very few female ministry leaders who openly talk about sexual brokenness. I loved this episode! It cuts to the core of my current struggles. Julie’s Authentic Intimacy ministry and local Pure Desire group has been a blessing. I would love to see Juli on another episode.

    Hmmm. You almost got to where I hoped you’d go in this podcast. You got to the “entitlement” piece which I really appreciate. This is a really good podcast except for what seems like an overuse of the term “need.” You danced around it a LOT the further into the podcast you got. I kept cheering you on and then, you didn’t quite go there. The actual words didn’t come out. Let me reiterate, this is a GREAT podcast. Excellent as usual. But I really wanted to hear the words, “sex is not a need.” I distinctly remember the day my addiction fog cleared and I realized, “I won’t die if I don’t get my release.” Yes, it’s silly and I would never have said it out loud but internally I believed it. It is therefore not a need. It’s a gift God gave us for intimacy, for connecting with our spouse.

    Again, this is a brilliant podcast. Thank you for all you do. I just wish I’d heard the word need a whole lot less.
