Unraveling the Grip of Shame on Our Sex Lives with Matthias Roberts

About this sermon

Welcome to our first episode in our For the Love of Sex series! We’re excited to break open this topic and find ways to cultivate what sexual health means for each of us and lay down toxic perspectives surrounding sex in our lives. Today we’re talking about sexual shame and how that can show inside and outside the bedroom. Matthias Roberts is a psychotherapist, author and podcaster. He wrote a book on sexual shame called “Beyond Shame: Creating a Healthy Sex Life on Your Own Terms” and is committed to helping people find freedom feeling shame around sex. Jen and Matthias discuss: • A working definition of what sexual shame is • How Matthias’s perspective on sex shifted after coming out in a Christian fundamentalist home • Questions to ask ourselves to develop our own sexual ethic • How sexual shame can affect every area of our life • Ways to stay curious and let go of shame about sex • Matthias’s queer theological perspective on sex The ways shame can seep into our lives is surprising. Join Jen and Matthias as they unpack, with a compassionate lens, how to stay curious and work toward kicking the shame-filled parts of our sex life to the curb. * * * Thank you to our sponsors! ➤ Chime | Sign up for your Chime Credit Builder Visa Credit Card today Chime.com/ForTheLove ➤ Thistle Farms | Visit ThistleFarms.org and use promo code FortheLove to get 15% off your order ➤ Jen Hatmaker & Friends Cruise | Book your spot now at JenHatmaker.com/cruise #ForTheLove #ForTheLovePodcast #JenHatmaker _________ CHECK OUT Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/beyond-shame-matthias-roberts/1132529563 ➤https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unraveling-the-source-of-our-sexual-shame-jay/id1258388821?i=1000576371625 ➤https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-vulnerable-with-dr-bren%C3%A9-brown/id1258388821?i=1000391341377 ➤https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sex-god-and-the-conservative-church-tina-schermer-sellers/1133777768?ean=9781138674981 ➤https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pure-linda-kay-klein/1127682962?ean=9781501124822 ➤https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/normal-gossip/id1597761181 ➤https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/holy-runaways-matthias-roberts/1142861058?ean=9781506485652 CONNECT with Our Guest! ➤ Website: https://matthiasroberts.com/ ➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthiasroberts ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthiasroberts/ ➤ Twitter: https://twitter.com/matthiasroberts ___ ➤ JEN HATMAKER BOOK CLUB - Join the sisterhood! https://jenhatmakerbookclub.com ___ WATCH more videos from Jen: ➤ For the Love of Small Wins series: https://bit.ly/FTLsmallwins ➤ For the Love of The Enneagram series: https://bit.ly/FTLenneagram ➤ Happy Hour: http://bit.ly/JensHappyHour ➤ Monday Mornings with Jen: http://bit.ly/MondayMorningsJen ___ CONNECT with Jen! ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmaker ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ ➤ LIKE Jen on Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmaker ➤ SUBSCRIBE NOW on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker?sub_confirmation=1 ➤ VISIT: http://jenhatmaker.com/ ___ For more “For the Love” . . . ➤ SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastApple ➤ LISTEN on Spotify: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastSpotify ➤ HEAR IT on Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastStitcher ➤ LISTEN on iHeartRadio: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastiHeart
