Sexual abuse in marriage... wait. What? Doesn't the Bible say that a spouse "has authority" over the other's body? Let's talk practically about what sexual abuse in marriage looks like so we can get women (and men) the help they need.

What exactly does "sexual immorality" include? Am I free to remarry? What about abuse? God's word is clear on marriage; but some of us are a little fuzzy on the divorce and remarriage part. Juli and her guest get practical as they consider the complexity of real-life situations as well as the truth and clarity we find in God's word.

Black Lives Matter. Love is love. Women’s rights are human rights. A thread of truth—truth deeply rooted in Christianity—runs through these claims. How do you champion biblical truth while (lovingly) rejecting the lies that our culture has packaged with it? Juli and her guests gather to help you do just that.
