#386: What's the Secret To Getting the Marriage & Intimacy You Want? Go Vertical Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

He never saw it coming. It was the night of Dave and Ann's tenth wedding anniversary and if asked how their marriage was doing, Dave would have given them a 9.8 /10. But instead of a celebratory kiss, Ann whispered, "I don't have any feelings left for you."

In this episode, Juli talks with Dave and Ann Wilson about how Ann's efforts to "help" her husband only served to undermine the very connection she was trying to create.

Guests: Dave & Ann Wilson, Hannah Nitz

#385: How To Wrestle With God Over Questions of Sex & Sexuality Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Juli and Hannah discuss the pain caused by misapplied Christian teaching and when we don't allow others to wrestle with sexual pain and brokenness.

Come deconstruct with us for 40 minutes or so. Yep, that's right. If we can't ask hard questions about the principles we've shared in the last two episodes, then we're only representing the truth of God and not the heart of God, which is to invite you to wrestle with His word and with Him until you're satisfied—and He is the only One who can satisfy.

#384: Bonus! Do You Empower Your Husband or Enable Him? (The Difference is BIG) Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

Nobody said marriage would be easy. It takes great courage, strength and self-control to be the woman God has called you to be in your marriage. While some of us are tempted to use our power to control or manipulate (a temporary fix at best), others shrink back and say, "I guess this is as good as it gets." But neither of these responses honor God or build intimacy with your husband. Ready to try a better way?

P.S. Who is Juli's special guest? It's her hero himself: Mike Slattery is on the mic!
