If willpower alone isn’t enough to stop numbing, what is? In this episode, Chip and Leanne explore why true healing starts with understanding the function of our coping behaviors—not just trying to “fix” them. They share the first steps to recognizing an unhealthy coping pattern, decoding what it’s really telling you, and shifting from avoidance to awareness. This episode is all about embracing discomfort as the key to freedom and learning how to break the cycle for good.

What's God Got To Do With It? With Leanne Ellington

Healing from the Inside Out—Breaking Free from the Need to Numb  (With Dr. Chip Dodd)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/49950652-b6c8-4d85-ad9a-b2b2001707dc/transcript

This week on What’s God Got To Do With It?, we’re talking about something that’s often avoided in church spaces—but deeply needed: sex, intimacy, and God’s true vision for marriage.

I’m so excited to welcome Sheila and Keith Gregoire to the podcast. Sheila is the voice behind BareMarriage.com and the author of over 11 books, including the eye-opening The Great Sex Rescue and her latest release, The Marriage You Want.

Together, Sheila and Keith have been helping couples move past shame, harmful theology, and broken intimacy scripts to build marriages rooted in mutuality, emotional safety, and real connection.

If you've ever struggled with what you were taught about sex, submission, or showing up in your marriage—this conversation is for you. And because there’s so much to unpack, we’ve split it into two powerful parts. 

In Part 2, we explore how to heal the emotional and sexual wounds that hold couples back—and what it really takes to rebuild intimacy through safety, connection, and faith. Sheila & Keith also share practical tools for transforming conflict, communication, and closeness in a way that honors both God and each other.

 This episode is all about going deeper into what happens when your marriage has experienced hurt, disconnection, or mistrust—and how to rebuild intimacy from the inside out.

Let's Talk About Sex & Marriage: Healing Intimacy Wounds and Rebuilding Connection With Sheila & Keith Gregoire (Part 2)

In Part 1, we unpack the harmful marriage messages many women were taught in the name of faith—and how they often distort God’s true design for intimacy. Sheila & Keith help us reimagine a more sacred, emotionally safe, and God-honoring view of marriage built on mutuality, connection, and truth.

This episode is all about unlearning what’s not serving us—and making space for a new, life-giving vision of marriage.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of self-criticism, fear, or anxiety, this episode is for you. Leanne walks through what it really looks like to take your thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and how both Scripture and neuroscience give us the tools to renew our minds. You’ll learn practical steps to identify toxic thought patterns, replace lies with truth, and rewire your brain to align with God’s peace and purpose for your life. This isn’t about “thinking positive” or faking it till you make it—it’s about getting honest with your thought life and letting God transform it from the inside out.
