HEADS UP: If you have children, grab some earbuds for this episode as it discusses some topics that you may not want your little ones to hear.
Kat Harris has a vision for all women to know their beauty, identity, and value. It was born out of the years she spent asking difficult questions as a single Christian woman who is saving sex for marriage, her wrestling with narratives she grew up with in the church and how they conflict with the world she lives in today. Writing a book, especially on the topic of sex, was the dream she never knew she had. It has revealed all her insecurities and yet grown her confidence in a God who gives us space to ask difficult questions and explore our dreams.
Even if you are married, don’t skip over this interview!
My conversation with Kat Harris is going to make you think deeply about our culture, sexuality, and the messages we as women absorb about our value, beauty, identity, and sexuality.
Kat has spent the last several years wrestling with these topics and even questioning whether she’s the woman for the job of writing about them. Her courage to run after a dream she didn’t know she had, when it opens her up to so much criticism and speculation, offers us an opportunity to examine our own strength and desire to run after something that might make us feel vulnerable too.
Give it a listen for some key takeaways, like:
- The importance of dealing with our own wounds and disappointments first before thinking we can “save” other people,
- What can happen when we aren’t regularly taking our thoughts captive as Scripture talks about,
- And that it’s in the desert, in our questions and doubts, that God meets us and walks toward us.
