Nothing Is Too Hard for God: A Raw Invitation to Rip Off Shame and Walk in Freedom

9 // Nothing Is Too Hard for God: Rip Off Shame + Find Freedom in The Collective [solo rip]

Shame will always whisper, “You're too far gone,” but God shouts, “Nothing is too hard for Me.” If you've felt like your story is too broken or your marriage too dry, this is your invitation to rip off the shame and walk in truth—because freedom starts with surrender.

When You’re Limping Through Marriage and No One Knows…

Let’s be real: some days feel too hard, too heavy, and too hopeless. Especially when it comes to intimacy, sex, and the parts of marriage no one’s talking about in Bible study. If you’ve ever thought:

• “Something’s missing in my marriage…”

• “I don’t even know how to want sex, let alone enjoy it.”

• “I’m too messed up from my past to be fully present now…”

Friend, you’re not alone—and you’re not too far gone. This isn’t just a podcast episode, this is a holy wake-up call. The kind that reminds you of one powerful truth:

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?” — Jeremiah 32:27

Let That Sink In: Nothing Is Too Hard

That shame you carry like a second skin?
That disconnection in your marriage?
The trauma you’ve buried deep or the budget that feels impossible?

Not one of those things is too hard for God. Not a single one.

And if Jeremiah—imprisoned and surrounded by destruction—could believe that God still had a plan to restore what looked too far gone, then so can you. Because this isn’t about perfection, it’s about participation. It's about walking in the healing that only Jesus can bring—one surrendered step at a time.

Introducing: Rip It Off, The Collective

What started as a stirring in Michelle's heart has become a sacred space off social media, hosted on Voxer—a walkie-talkie style app where women can talk real about sex, shame, marriage, and intimacy.

Inside the Collective, You’ll Find:

• 🔥 Raw, voice-driven connection (anonymity-friendly but deeply personal)

• 🎙️ Episode deep dives with Q&As for deeper healing

• 💬 Safe space for real talk about the things most Christians shy away from

• 🙏 Prayer, encouragement, and community with women who get it

• 🫶 Ongoing support as you walk through your journey—not alone, but shoulder-to-shoulder

You’ll hear voices of women who are also limping, also healing, and also choosing to keep showing up.

Let’s Break This Down

Here’s your invitation to stop hiding:

• You’re not the only one who feels disconnected from your body or your spouse.

• You’re not the only one who wonders, “Will I ever want sex again?”

• You’re not the only one carrying sexual shame from the past.

💡 But you are one decision away from joining a space where healing gets real.

Takeaways to Tuck in Your Heart

• God’s not done with you. Not your story. Not your marriage. Not your healing.

• Healing isn’t a one-and-done. It’s a constant surrender.

• Community matters. Freedom is found in connection, not isolation.

• You’re not too late. You haven’t missed your shot at intimacy, wholeness, or love.

• Shame has no place here. Not with Jesus. Not in this Collective.

It’s time to step out of hiding and into healing.

When Sex Feels Like a Chore: How Christian Moms Can Reclaim Intimacy in the Chaos of Motherhood

8 // Why Christian Wives Feel Disconnected (and What No One's Saying About Sex) [ft Elyse Rooney]

Sex isn’t a chore—it’s a sacred connection. But when motherhood feels like survival mode, intimacy can quickly slide into the “leftovers” category. If you’ve ever felt like sex is just another box to check, this one’s for you.

Let’s Talk About the Unspoken: Sex and Seasons

We get it—marriage, motherhood, and sex are a whole lot messier than the church is talking about. As Elyse Rooney shared in this episode, the seasons of marriage change constantly. From honeymoon highs to toddler chaos, intimacy doesn’t always look like it did in year one—and that’s normal.

But here’s the truth: just because it’s normal doesn’t mean we settle for disconnection.

What the Church Isn’t Saying Loud Enough:

• Intimacy evolves with the seasons—and that's not a failure, it's growth.

• Sex isn’t just physical; it’s spiritual, emotional, and deeply bonding.

• Christian women need space to talk about desire, disconnection, and healing without shame.

When You’re Tired, Touched-Out, and Tempted to Tune Out

You love your husband. But when the laundry pile’s high, the kids are cranky, and your energy is gone by 8 p.m., sex can feel like a duty rather than a desire.

Real Talk From Elyse:

“I started seeing sex like a task—right up there with mopping floors. But God gently shifted my mindset: I don’t have to do this; I get to connect with my husband in a way no one else can.”

Oof. That hits. And it’s the shift we all need.

So How Do We Redirect When the Connection Feels Off?

Here’s the gold: Intimacy doesn’t just happen. It’s cultivated—often intentionally—in the small, unsexy, everyday moments.

5 Intentional Ways to Reignite Intimacy (Even With Little Kids):

• ✅ Schedule it. Yes, it sounds unromantic. But it works. Put it on the calendar, create margin, and protect that time.

• ✅ Shift your mindset. Move from obligation to opportunity. You get to love him in a way no one else can.

• ✅ Communicate openly. Be honest—even if you’re exhausted or unsure how to say it. Vulnerability is intimacy.

• ✅ Flirt and have fun. Remember what made you laugh together. Go to the park. Ride the “flying fox.” (Americans, think zip line!)

• ✅ Pray together. Spiritual intimacy builds the foundation for emotional and physical connection. Don’t skip it.

Affirming His Masculinity Isn’t Worldly—It’s Biblical

Let’s not forget: the enemy is after our husbands too. And when we hold back intimacy out of resentment, exhaustion, or silence, it lands as rejection—even if that’s not our intention.

You, dear sister, are the only one who can affirm your husband’s sexual masculinity in a godly, grace-filled way.

Let that sink in.

“I get to be the one who sees the softest, most vulnerable part of him. What a privilege.” — Elyse

Healing Shame and Embracing Connection

If sex has ever felt shameful, complicated, or emotionally loaded—you’re not alone. But you’re also not stuck. God designed this part of marriage for joy, pleasure, unity, and holiness.

You can heal. You can rebuild. You can grow in biblical intimacy, even in the chaos of motherhood.
