From the Bible

So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Mark 10:6–8

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

Strong Wives - Bonny Burns Honeycomb & Spice - Chris Taylor Hot, Holy & Humorous - J. Parker


Marriage within the Christian faith encompasses the whole person-body, spirit, and mind. Sex Chat for Christian Wives exists in that sometimes tricky, always sacred intersection. Hosted by Bonny Burns, J Parker, and Chris Taylor, this is a conversation among friends who believe that sexual intimacy is a profound gift meant to be explored and enjoyed within a covenant marriage. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair to a candid kitchen-table talk, where laughter and grace are always welcome. You’ll hear them draw from scripture to frame a positive, theology-based view of sex, while also diving into remarkably practical advice for everyday married life. The discussions are grounded, addressing real questions and challenges with honesty and without shame. This podcast moves beyond vague principles to offer tangible tips and perspectives that can transform a couple's intimate connection. It’s a unique space where faith, health, and sexuality are woven together, affirming that spiritual and physical intimacy are beautifully and intentionally linked. Tune in for thoughtful, compassionate dialogue that empowers wives to embrace this dimension of their relationship with freedom and joy.
