Did y’all know that I have a podcast?
Even after talking a lot about being one of four hosts of Sex Chat for Christian Wives, I still have people now and then on my Facebook page or here on the blog saying, “What, you have a podcast?”
More often, I’m sure there are those of you who have thought to yourself, I should check out that podcast sometime, but you haven’t done it just yet.
Maybe you don’t even know how to get to a podcast! Where would you go to listen? If that’s you, please go read Podcast Listening for Beginners on the OysterBed7 blog.
And perhaps a few of you are actually tired of me talking about this podcast and wondering why I’m pushing it so much.
Wherever you are regarding my podcast with three other marriage and sex bloggers, let me share on today’s High Five Saturday reasons I love this podcast and, more importantly, how it can really help your sex life.
1. We deliver content on-the-go.
To read this post, you had to stop everything enough to be able to focus on the words and take in the message. And honestly, this is my favorite way to deliver content! I’m at my core a writer.
But I’m also a very busy person — with my work, household management, parenting, and other pursuits — taking up quite a bit of time. So I’ve found that one of the best ways that I can receive information I want is to listen to it while on-the-go.
If you were to see me in the grocery store, or while doing at laundry at home, or in the midst of getting ready for my day, you’d likely notice headphones in my ears … because I’m listening to podcasts. Some many of you wives are also on-the-go all the time, and our podcast provides an easy way for you to get information you need and want, while still getting everything most a fair amount of your to-do list done.
2. We have varied perspectives.
Bonny of Oysterbed7, Chris of The Forgiven Wife, Gaye Christmas of Calm.Healthy.Sexy. and I all have the same foundational viewpoint of sexual intimacy in the marriage bed. But we come from different backgrounds, different personal stories, different ways that God has worked in our lives to help us reach holy and healthy sex in our marriages.
So when you listen in to Sex Chat for Christian Wives, you get four sources of wisdom for the price of one. And together, we reach women who also come from varied backgrounds and varied personal stories. I suspect your personality or perspective is well represented by one or more of us.
3. We give practical advice.
Inspiration and life principles are great, but sometimes it’s a struggle to know how to apply that insight in your own life. On Sex Chat for Christian Wives, we share all kinds of ideas and tips about improving the marriage bed. We talk authentically about what works and what doesn’t.
Sure, we could spend a half-hour talking about the theology of sex and providing encouraging and inspirational thoughts — and we do talk about these important things — but we want wives to have real-life takeaways from every single episode.
4. We make you laugh.
We certainly make ourselves laugh. Just check out latest episode on Sex Is Funny. But we also make listeners snicker, laugh, and guffaw … which we consider a great service to you and to marriage beds.
I’m fully aware how much deep heartache and ongoing frustration exists around the subject of sexual intimacy in some marriages. I would never want to minimize that. However, Christians can also become so serious about sex that we forget that it’s supposed to be fun. And talking about it in a fun way, when appropriate, can inspire couples to take more of that tone in their own marriages.
5. We give away stuff.
As of February 14, 2018, we’ll have been podcasting for a full year! (Cue the balloons and confetti!) To celebrate, we are hosting an amazing anniversary giveaway.
Twenty-two (22) runners-up will each receive free shipping for life from Marriage Spice, an online Christian marital aid store. Three (3) runners-up will receive free shipping for life from Marriage Spice plus a bundle of e-books from us: The Busy Life Diet by Gaye Christmus; Unlock Your Libido by Bonny Burns; Intimacy Revealed by J Parker; and Behind Closed Doors by J Parker.
And one Grand Prize winner will receive a $150 Gift Certificate from Marriage Spice! Whoa. That’s a lot of money you could invest in stuff for your bow-chicka-wow-wow.

I got a set of headphones just so I could listen to y’all while cooking :D. I also downloaded a bunch of the episodes that I listen to when I’m driving by myself or just me and the baby (no older child!) I’m really enjoying the podcast, thank you for doing it.
Wow, thanks! So good to hear.
I really appreciate the post about praying for your sex life. What a great example of how it can get better and how God answers prayer. Thanks for sharing.
Also, I entered. Happy one year anniversary!
Thank you so much!
Yes! I love podcasts because I can get other things done while listening to the information. I discovered yours last fall and love it. My husband and I even listened together while watching the World Series together (volume down on the game & up on the podcast—don’t worry we were cheering for your ‘stros) Thank you, thank you! Love both the podcast and your blog.
Thank you! For listening and for cheering on my ‘Stros! 🙂
Is it bad to admit I get really excited whenever a new one comes out?! It’s like waiting for the next episode of your favorite TV show. 😀 your podcasts are encouraging in more ways than just sexual intimacy. A lot of what you say is applicable to other areas of life. I think my favorite part is how down to earth and relatable you are. Please never change. 😉 Congrats on your first year.
Bad to admit? No, that just made my day! (And I needed it, because it was also mammogram day. 😉 )
