The Nuanced Life

Today we consider the shared agreements that govern communities and institutions. First, Beth shares an experience from a spiritual gifts class, and Sarah discusses the Advent season. Both conversations segue into our main focus, which stems from Sarah's frustration about dress clothes.  We end by sharing an excerpt from Aaron Stamper's advent sermon.  Hosted on Acast.

Living in (and Dressing for) Community

In response to an awesome note from a sexually frustrated listener in Canada, we talk about what it's like when sexual partners are not on the same page. It's not abnormal for long-term relationships to go through periods where one partner or the other just isn't feeling it for whatever reason. We talk about what that means physically and emotionally for both partners.  Why Sex Therapists Don't Care About OrgasmsTo become a supporter of the show and get access to regular bonus content, visit our Patreon page.  Hosted on Acast.

We are also thrilled to share that you can  preorder your copy of our book (coming in February!).Thanks to our sponsor, Modcloth.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
