Episode Description
As Christians, we are often unclear about God’s views on sex and intimacy. It can be a struggle to make sense of our temptations, shame, brokenness, longings, or desires. What is more, Christian churches and families are often divided in the nuances of sexuality, neglecting Jesus’ most important call to be unified as His body.
Mark and I often talk about the significance of surrender, but how should that impact our sex life?
My friend Dr. Juli Slattery is deeply familiar with both topics and is here to help us connect the dots between surrender, sex, and sexuality. She is the President and Co-Founder of Authentic Intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God’s design for sexuality. She has authored twelve books, including her newest book, Surrendered Sexuality: How Knowing Jesus Changes… Everything.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Christians can’t ignore the topic of sex and sexuality
- Practical steps to surrender in the area of sexuality
- An encouraging word for anyone struggling with sex
- And more!
It was truly a pleasure to have Juli back on the podcast for this conversation about surrender and sexuality.
