Episode Summary: In this episode, Francie Winslow invites us to reflect on our relationship with pleasure and sexuality through the lens of God’s design. Drawing from scripture and her personal healing journey, Francie explores how shame, cultural narratives, and misbeliefs have distorted our understanding of intimacy. She shares practical insights into reconnecting with our bodies, valuing pleasure as a divine gift, and embracing a garden vision of intimacy—naked, unashamed, and deeply connected to God’s heart.
