We are inundated with negative, objectifying messaging about our bodies in the church and by our culture. As a result, most of us live disconnected from our bodies. When we struggle with pornography, sex addiction, or experience sexual betrayal , many of us experience even more disconnection from our physical bodies and maybe even a load of shame about this vital part of who we are.
Dr. Dave Janvier is a licensed therapist, certified sex therapist, and spiritual director who works at the intersection of faith, neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual formation. What he brings to this episode may reframe almost everything you have been taught about your body, desire, and what God actually intended sexuality to be.
Kristin and Dr. Dave explore:
What it means to be embodied — and why most of us, men and women both, are profoundly disconnected from our bodies
How the church's legacy of body-shame and flesh-as-sinful thinking has deepened the very wounds it was trying to prevent
The healing power of the ancient Hebraic understanding of a unified, integrated self
Why sex addiction is, at its root, an intimacy disorder — and why acting out doesn't mean someone is too into their body; it means they're not embodied enough
How betrayal trauma fragments the nervous system in specific, predictable ways — and what integration actually requires
What scripture reveals about what God's design for sexuality and why sexuality and spirituality cannot be separated
A live grounding practice you can use today, in your body, right now
Your body is not the enemy. It never was. And the path back to wholeness is more integrated, spiritual, and grounded in hope than you may have been told.
