The Book

“With warmth and wit, Joy McMillan fearlessly tackles the subject of sexuality.   She delivers solid, biblically-based teaching, and doesn’t flinch from addressing pressing topics like promiscuity and pornography.  As a counselor, I see many Christians whose lives are impacted through misunderstanding God’s purpose and design for sex.   Joy addresses common sexual misperceptions and struggles with an engaging style and refreshing honesty…”

Carol Boothroyd MA | Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist

Praise for XES

• • • • •

“Great sex is less about how you position your pelvis and more about how you position your heart” 

In a society where it seems sex is talked about everywhere but within the four walls of the church, and is sizzling everywhere except the marriage bed, it appears we may have a problem on our hands. With her signature warmth and transparency, Joy takes on the myths and mysteries of sex and marriage within the Christian subculture.

Through the lens of raw faith, and with the compassion of one who’s tasted the shame and regret of sexual brokenness, Joy sets out to debunk some of the lies we believe, expose truth we may have missed and, with refreshing candor straight from the trenches of motherhood, she encourages us to wholeheartedly pursue God’s best for our marriages.

You’ll discover…

• Why sex is under attack and what you can do to fight back

• How the church has unknowingly misrepresented God’s heart on sex

• How to cultivate a safe environment to speak openly about sex with your spouse

• Why carving out time for intimacy, even when you’re not in the mood, has the potential to transform your marriage and improve your overall wellbeing

• Practical ideas & helpful resources to take your intimacy to the next level

What if the loudest battle you’re fighting isn’t a What if the loudest battle you’re fighting
isn’t around you, but within you?

In this episode, I share six phrases that help me reset my mind when anxiety, overthinking, or the need to control takes over.

Because what we dwell on matters more than we realize.

#OhGoodGriefPodcast #GuardYourHeart #YourMindMatters
If your mind feels loud lately, this one’s for you If your mind feels loud lately, this one’s for you.

Because what we think about shapes how we feel.
How we feel shapes how we act.
And how we act shapes our lives.

This episode is about learning to manage our minds
with intention instead of letting them run on autopilot.
