It’s often overlooked but your sex problems may be the result of a spiritual attack.
In this episode, Mary and Katieann discuss how hopelessness about ongoing sexual struggles in marriage can stem from a “foreboding spirit”. That is described as an outlook dominated by fear and an impending sense of doom. They contrast God’s timeless, life-giving design for marital intimacy with the world’s performance- and self-focused approach that often brings shame, confusion, and pain.
They explain how sexual struggle cycles are intensified by early misinformation, shame-based messages, isolation, resentment, and attempts at quick symptom fixes rather than addressing root causes.
Beyond emotional and physical factors, Mary and Katieann emphasize “spirit, soul, and body” wholeness and the importance of checking spiritual alignment. To do this, identify if you have made agreements with negative narratives. Then, renounce the lies you’ve believed and the attention you gave the lies. Repent for empowering them, declare God’s truth, and actively look for joy, freedom, and peace as part of an ongoing faith walk toward restoration.
