That longing you have to be fully known? God put it there. It's meant to draw you into intimacy with Him. Yet, we try to fill it with people (or things) who can never know us completely. In this episode, Juli talks with Carolyn Weber, author of "Sex and the City of God," about what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

#355: How Apologetics Helps Kids Engage the Culture & Keep Their Faith Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Don't tell your kids what to think about sex, teach them HOW to think about sex. Don't give them a list of rules, give them a biblical worldview that will help them discern and think critically about what the culture is telling them. You can do this, Mama!

#351: Why Our Churches Need To Do Better at Valuing the Voices of Women Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

The women of the Bible have a lot to teach us. Their voices often give us the story behind the story—take Ruth for example, or the birth of Christ from the perspective of Mary and Elizabeth. What do we lose if we lose the voices of women? In this episode, Aimee Byrd joins Juli to share how the male and female voices together give us a complete picture of Jesus and His Bride, and why that's important for our churches today.

#350: Making Time To Make Love (Especially When You Don't Feel Like It) Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

It's hard to prioritize sexual intimacy when you don't understand why God created sex in the first place. Instead, you put up walls when things get hard. When you get busy, sex goes on the back burner. But what if God designed sex to help you stay connected with your spouse during difficult times? In this episode, Juli and her guest share how sex is a gift, and a means to deepen intimacy through every season of marriage. Grab your Java and join us!
