Sexual consent matters, even within marriage, and when this fundamental right is violated, it not only constitutes sexual abuse but, in some cases, is considered marital rape. Join us for a candid conversation with Rev. Jocelyn and her special guest, Christine Hammond, as they discuss healthy sexual boundaries, the negative impacts of sexual coercion, and how sexual intimacy should be expressed through mutuality and choice rather than power over another individual.
