#402: If God Made My Body "Good," Why Does It Cause So Much Pain? Feb 17, 2022

#401: Why "Love is Love" Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Black Lives Matter. Love is love. Women's rights are human rights. A thread of truth—truth deeply rooted in Christianity—runs through these claims. How do you champion biblical truth while (lovingly) rejecting the lies that our culture has packaged with it? Juli and her guests gather to help you do just that.

#400: If God Is Good, Why Doesn't He Take Away My Sexual Addiction? Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

At the root of every struggle with ongoing, unwanted sexual sin is a lie about God—and it keeps you from the very things that bring transformation: connection with God and others. Hear how God meets you in the messiness, why your anger is a good thing, and God's promise to complete the good work that He started in you.
