"SEX" yes we said it : Catch the vision with Kari Clewett

Vision Beam Episode: Kari Clewett on Sex, Faith, and Healing After Betrayal

In this eye-opening Vision Beam episode, JP sits down with Kari Clewett—psychologist, sexual therapist, couples counselor, and YWAM elder—to explore the intersection of sex, faith, and healing in today’s church. With honesty and warmth, Kari shares her personal journey and professional insights, challenging long-held taboos and offering hope for those navigating intimacy and betrayal.

Sex, Shame, and the Church

JP and Kari address the discomfort that often surrounds conversations about sex, especially in Christian communities. Kari recounts her experiences as a sexologist and therapist, highlighting the embarrassment many feel even when seeking healthy, faith-based resources. She notes that while secular culture may appear more open, honest conversations about sex are rare everywhere—often replaced by humor or avoidance.

Kari believes this silence and shame have left a void, allowing harmful narratives and misinformation to take root. Her mission is to help the church reclaim its voice on sexuality, offering a vision where sex is seen as a sacred, God-given gift that strengthens marriages and families.

A Vision for Restoration

A key moment in the episode is Kari’s “moonshot” vision: to help a million people rediscover the value of sex as God intended. She explains that when couples embrace intimacy with respect and openness, it transforms not just their relationship but also their families and communities. Kari wants to see the church become a place where sex is discussed honestly and positively, breaking cycles of shame and misunderstanding.

Books and Real-Life Impact

Kari and JP discuss her two books. Her first, Buenexo, explores God’s design for sex and is available in Spanish, with an English version on the way. Her latest book, Traición (Betrayed), addresses the pain of infidelity from multiple perspectives—those betrayed, those who betray, and those supporting them. Drawing from her own experience with betrayal and divorce, Kari offers practical, compassionate guidance for every stage of healing.

She blends scientific research, biblical wisdom, and her own story to help couples and individuals understand what happened and how to move forward. Kari’s approach is both empathetic and actionable, equipping listeners to find hope and restoration.

A Hopeful Message for Listeners

Throughout the episode, Kari’s passion for helping others is clear. She describes how sexual therapy can revive marriages and how honest conversations can break the cycle of shame. Her message is simple but powerful: by understanding sex from God’s perspective, we can build stronger relationships, healthier families, and more authentic faith communities.
