In this episode of Naked & Unashamed SLS, Dr. Stacy and Rhonda get real about how money—whether abundant, missing, or mismanaged—shapes intimacy, trust, and power in marriage.

- Unpack the spiritual/emotional meaning of money in relationships

In this provocative episode of the Naked and Unashamed SLS Podcast, Dr. Stacy and Rhonda Spencer unpack one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible—1 Corinthians 7:4. But this isn’t just about sex—it’s about mutual consent, emotional safety, and spiritual intimacy.

They explore questions like:

• Is it biblical to say “no” to your spouse?

• How do couples steward each other’s bodies in a holy and pleasurable way?

• What’s the difference between desire and entitlement?
