"I like to say that Christianity was sort of the air I breathed." "I really didn't start questioning a lot of those narratives until my mid-to-late twenties when I moved to New York City." "We're gonna ask. We're gonna doubt. And it was scary." "Most things I had learned from Christian culture felt as though to be a woman in the church was to be a liability." "But in that space, I encountered a more loving, expansive God than I could have ever imagined." "My body isn't bad." "I think what happens in the church is that we flatten sexuality and make sexuality just about sex." "There's a holistic mind, body, spirit invitation from God about who we are." "I think sexuality is so much more than sex."  "If God is not ashamed of sex, we should not be ashamed of sex." "I came to the concluding that sex is more than one physical act." "I just think God is very concerned with our hearts." "We're constantly too much and not enough." "God can handle questions."   What has your story gifted you? Freedom Being a woman "For a long time, it felt like being a woman felt like my greatest liability. And now through my story, I've realized, it's my greatest asset." "God created me woman and what a beautiful thing. That's not holding me back." "I get to be a woman in this culture and today for such a time as this."   Resources mentioned in the episode: CONNECT with Kat Harris BOOK: Sexless in the City Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRefinedWoman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therefinedwoman/   "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!"
