Six weeks into marriage and struggling with erectile dysfunction? You’re not alone. In this “Asking for a Friend” episode, Josh & Cassie respond to a heartfelt submission from a newlywed facing unexpected challenges in the bedroom—and the emotional weight that comes with it.
When expectations around intimacy collide with real-life struggles, it can feel isolating, discouraging, and even threatening to your relationship. But the truth? There’s hope—and healing is possible.
In this episode, Josh (certified sex therapist) and Cassie explore:
- What to do when erectile dysfunction shows up early in marriage.
- The impact of sexual expectations—and how to reframe them.
- How to navigate emotional fears like “What if they leave me?”
- A biblically grounded path forward for intimacy, connection, and healing.
Key Takeaways:
- ED is more common than you think—and it doesn’t define your marriage
- Intimacy is about connection, not just performance
- God can bring healing through honest communication, empathy, and patience
- There’s always a next step forward—together, not apart
Whether you’re newly married or years in, this conversation is full of grace, truth, and practical wisdom for walking through intimacy challenges together—not alone. ❤️

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
