How do you navigate conversations about sexuality and identity without letting fear, politics, or the pressure to have all the answers get in the way of loving people well?

This week, Juli sits down with Laurence Koo to talk about why questions of identity can feel so overwhelming, and how you can walk alongside someone even when you don't have all the answers. They also challenge the way we think about the "culture wars," explore what it means to see sexuality through the lens of the gospel, and offer a refreshing perspective on singleness, marriage, and authentic community.

"I guess I'm just one of those women who can't."

That's exactly what our guest believed early in her marriage when she struggled to experience orgasm. Have you ever thought the same thing? And what if you're wrong?

What if there are things you just haven't been taught about your body, your anatomy, your arousal, and the way God designed you for pleasure?

This week, we tackle the myths and misconceptions surrounding female orgasm and offer practical steps and encouragement for women who want to experience MORE in the bedroom.

God's not embarrassed by this conversation–so pull up a chair and join us!

What if God isn't asking you to fix every feeling before you come to Him? What if you could bring Him your anxiety, your frustration, your insecurity—even the parts of yourself you wish weren't there?

This week, Juli's talking with Dr. Alison Cook about learning to notice what's happening inside us without immediately judging, fixing, or shaming our inner thoughts. Plus, you'll hear how understanding our own inner world can change the way we show up in marriage, parenting, and our relationship with God.
