#267: Are You Having Sex or Building Intimacy? Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

You can be sexually active without being sexually intimate. But is that God's best? Our sexuality is designed to be laced with spiritual and relational significance, but we have all been impacted by sin, busyness, and the cultural trend to see sex as simply something that we do (or worse: a "duty"). Pull up a chair with Juli, Linda and Yvette as they discuss the difference between sexual intimacy and sexual activity.

#266: Your Marriage, God's Design Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

What do you want out of marriage? If you're like most of us, you hope for love, companionship, passion and other good things that happen to be self-serving. But our guests in this episode, Aaron & Jennifer Smith, contend that "like everything that God gives us, [marriage] is not intended for us only." Grab your coffee, pull up a chair and be challenged to think about marriage in a way that transcends what you hope to get out of it.

Whether you're divorced or widowed (or you know someone who recently has been), grab your java and pull up a chair for an honest conversation about the difficult moments, the beautiful moments, and the daily life in between.

#263: Experiencing Sexual Pleasure, Part 2 May 20, 2019

Show notes

Sex with your husband sounds nice…but the busyness of day-to-day life leaves you feeling disconnected. In part two of this conversation, Juli and her guest move from talking about getting your body ready, to getting your emotions ready! The emotional aspect of your marriage is an important part of the "sexual desire triangle". Being intentional about building an emotional connection with your man (talking, date nights, taking a "sex-cation") will create intimacy that spills over into the bedroom.

#261: Bravery Means Being the Real You May 06, 2019

Show notes

You're braver than you think. Bravery doesn't always mean running into a burning building. For most of us, it means getting up in the morning, acknowledging our brokenness, and being our best, authentic selves. It means doing hard things, sharing our stories, and letting others see our brokenness too. Join Juli and her guest as they talk about what makes us brave and how bravery makes us beautiful.

Show notes

Why is there so much confusion in the Church about sex? If God's word is clear on this issue, why do so many great minds disagree? Join Juli and author Todd Wilson for a conversation about why we struggle to see the beautiful and coherent narrative of sexuality in the Bible.
