Summary
Juli and Hannah discuss the pain caused by misapplied Christian teaching and when we don't allow others to wrestle with sexual pain and brokenness.
Come deconstruct with us for 40 minutes or so. Yep, that's right. If we can’t ask hard questions about the principles we’ve shared in the last two episodes, then we’re only representing the truth of God and not the heart of God, which is to invite you to wrestle with His word and with Him until you’re satisfied—and He is the only One who can satisfy.
Guest: Hannah Nitz
