A Live Two-Day workshop for church leaders and ministry teams taught by Mary Whitman Ortiz, Certified Relationship Coach and Christian Sex Educator
The Truth:
Sexual Brokenness Hurts People. It’s Time to Break the Silence, and Bridge the Gap
Sexual brokenness is a silent crisis in every church, often ignored until it erupts into public issues like infidelity, shattered marriages, or other devastating revelations. These moments can leave ministry leaders feeling ill-equipped, blindsided, and unsure of how to respond.
Many pastors and ministry leaders feel uncertain about addressing sensitive topics like sexual intimacy, assuming these conversations belong solely in a counselor's office. Not all counselors represent a godly perspective on dealing with sexual issues, and this often creates a gap in ministry—leaving couples and individuals without the guidance they need to find true healing.
The Solution:

The Sexual Wholeness Workshop bridges the broken silence between pastors and their people, offering ministry leaders practical tools, biblical insight, and compassionate strategies to address sexual brokenness within their congregations. It empowers leaders to guide individuals and couples toward healing, restoration, and God’s design for intimacy.

![What if the reason sex feels off…
isn’t because something’s wrong with you—
but because of what you were 'unknowingly' taught to believe?
Messages like:
❌ “Sex is just for men”
❌ “Desire is dirty”
❌ “Your body isn’t yours anymore”
❌ Silence = shame
These hidden beliefs shape how we show up in marriage, whether we realize it or not.
? In Episode 1 of Permission to Enjoy Intimacy, we’re uncovering the roots of your view of sex and why it still matters today.

You were never meant to carry shame into the bedroom.
Let’s replace the lies with truth that brings freedom.

![Never did I ever think I’d become a Christian Sex Educator.
Honestly? I was the least likely person.
But after walking through sexual shame, painful intimacy, a divorce, and a remarriage with physical and emotional struggles—I had to start asking hard questions.
? What does God really say about sex?
? Why didn’t the church teach us more than just what not to do?
? Is healing even possible?
My story is real, raw, and filled with hope—and I just shared it in a new video. If you’ve ever felt confused, ashamed, or stuck when it comes to sex in marriage... you’re not alone.
✨ There’s a new story waiting for you. One of wholeness, freedom, and joy.
