Finding the Hero in Your Husband Facilitators – Ruth and Casey Jane

Get to Know Ruth

Hi there I’m Ruth. I discovered Authentic Intimacy OBS groups a couple of years ago and they have been so helpful.

A few years back I had reached a point where I had no interest in sex whatsoever. As you can imagine that wasn’t a great situation for my husband! I’d tried quite a few things over the years (including HRT / testosterone) but nothing had worked and I’d essentially given up. It was at that point that I started the Passion Pursuit Course – and it made such a difference! It changed my attitude towards my husband; our relationship improved considerably. I discovered God’s plan for sexual intimacy is much bigger and broader than I’d thought. My whole perspective changed and I started enjoying our times of closeness again.

However that wasn’t the only thing that changed, I can’t quite explain it but my relationship with God deepened as I invited him into these personal areas of my life.

The other great benefit was being in community with other women in the group, walking alongside one another. It was a safe place to share and be honest; our stories varied but we supported and encouraged each other. It was so special and I believe it’s the way God made us to be.

I can’t say that everything is perfect now. I’m still very much on a journey but things are definitely much better. So I’m excited to be doing Finding the Hero, I’m ready for further transformation!

Get to Know Casey Jane

Hi I’m Casey Jane!

I have such a heart and a passion for the ministry of Authentic Intimacy and all of its resources, and I am so excited to be co-leading this session of Finding the Hero with Ruth!

For so many years I struggled with reconciling Biblical Truth about sexual intimacy with the internal dialogue/narrative that the purity movement had woven into my thought process. Participating in a Passion Pursuit OBS five years ago was a major turning point for me, and I was finally able to start making significant progress in this struggle. I learned about God’s unmistakable desire for intimacy in marriage, how much power I truly hold as a wife, and what it looks like to steward that well. I am forever grateful for the strengthening of my marriage, the personal growth in my relationship with the Lord, and the safe community of women who walked alongside me.

I’ve found that each new season of marriage brings its own unique difficulties (we’re never completely done are we?) but having a foundation based on Biblical Truth means not having to start from square one with each challenge- Praise The Lord!

What others are saying about Finding the Hero in Your Husband:

Everything in this book was filled with golden nuggets applicable in my marriage. The last chapter really hit home, about looking from the rear view mirror, being intentional, faithful, and running this race with endurance. I also loved: the fellowship, diving deeper into book by discussion during each group, and seeing other people’s perceptions and stories.

This was a great book study. I loved sharing with other ladies, which created great accountability to the other women to read and apply the principles. The community was like-minded and everyone was interested in allowing God to work in their hearts for His purposes. Also, having intergenerational discussions was such a blessing. I’m a newlywed and I felt so humbled to be able to learn more about marriage from women who have been married for 20+ years.
