Why do our sexual struggles create more shame than other sins we struggle with? Why do so many of us feel lost and unfixable as we strive for freedom? And what if healing doesn't begin with fixing what's broken- but surrendering to the One who can?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Juli Slattery to talk about her latest book, Surrendered Sexuality: How Knowing Jesus Changes Everything. In this conversation, we discuss how more rules or pressure flat out don't work and will never create the transformation we truly desire. Juli breaks down the mindset shift between purity and integrity, why sexual sin feels heavier than other sins, and how postmodern culture has deeply shaped the way we think about sex, marriage, and identity—even in the church.
We also dig into the root of why so many of us resist God and how it prevents us from healing. Juli shares how knowing Jesus personally—not just theologically—becomes the turning point for so many who feel stuck, disillusioned, or ashamed.
If you've ever wondered where God was in your pain… if you've tried to "do better" but keep falling back… if you want real intimacy with God but feel a gap—you’re not alone. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of hope. We pray it invites you to stop managing your pain and start surrendering it—to the only One who can truly heal it.
Thanks for Listening! We hope this episode brings honesty, perspective, and hope right where you are!
