Welcome to "Sex and Sensuality for the Churchy," the podcast where we explore topics related to sex, love, and relationships in the context of faith and spirituality. In this episode, we will be discussing some recent headlines that have caught our attention.First up, we'll be delving into the controversial documentary, "Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told" This documentary takes a deep dive into the history of Freaknik, an annual spring break party for HBCU students that was held in Atlanta during the 80s and 90s. We'll be discussing the impact of this party on black culture, sexuality, and music, and exploring the controversy surrounding its upcoming release.Next, while there's a lot of fear around the release of Freaknik we'll be addressing the issue of sex abuse scandals in the church that are often covered up. Unfortunately, this is a topic that has come up time and time again, and we'll be discussing why it's so important for religious institutions to address these issues head-on and create a safe space for victims to come forward.Finally, we'll be discussing the case of Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi's divorce settlement. Despite his ex-wife reportedly asking for half of his fortune, she received nothing because Achraf's wealth is mostly in his mother's name. This brings up the question of how our relationship with our mother often impacts our romantic relationships in adulthood.Join us for this thought-provoking episode as we explore these headlines and the impact they have on sex and sensuality in the church.Support the showSign up for the host, LuzCelenia's mailing list HERECLICK HERE to join our PRIVATE FB Community, Sex and Sensuality for the ChurchyWatch on YouTubeAs always,BE AS RADIANT AS THE SUN!

Welcome to episode 11 of Sex and Sensuality for the Churchy, where we’ll be discussing unrealistic expectations in relationships and the dangers they can bring.Many people enter into relationships with certain expectations, whether it be about love, trust, communication, or even material possessions. While it’s natural to have expectations in any relationship, the problem arises when these expectations become unrealistic.Unrealistic expectations can come in many forms, such as expecting your partner to meet all your emotional needs or expecting them to always know what you’re thinking. These types of expectations can put a significant strain on any relationship and often lead to disappointment, frustration, and even resentment.So, how do we avoid having unrealistic expectations in our relationships? One key is to communicate openly and honestly with our partners about our needs and wants. It’s important to understand that our partners are not mind-readers and cannot always meet our every expectation.Another important step is to let go of the idea of perfection. No one is perfect, and no relationship is without its flaws. Accepting imperfection can help us approach our relationships with more realistic expectations and a greater sense of understanding and empathy.Support the showSign up for the host, LuzCelenia's mailing list HERECLICK HERE to join our PRIVATE FB Community, Sex and Sensuality for the ChurchyWatch on YouTubeAs always,BE AS RADIANT AS THE SUN!

Are you familiar with the scripture Mathew 16:24, "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me"? How was that taught when you heard it? Too often we are told we have to sacrifice for the church, our partners, our children, our parents, our jobs, etc., and this scripture is used to justify giving of ourselves even to the point of extreme pain and call it love. Is that what the scripture means? Why are you martyring yourself?Credits:Opening and Closing Song: Neon feat.
