Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie Maywielsen and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week, I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have about our lives as women.

We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence, about our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the absolute full.

Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking to one of my favorite friends here in Nashville, off their Hannah Seymour.

Hannah is an amazing writer, a mentor, a Bible teacher and a friend and today we're talking to her all about, get ready for it, sex.

You guys order pizza. Put on some PJs, maybe pour yourself a glass of wine or a mocktail. Hannah has an awesome mocktail recipe in this episode.

But either way, this is going to be the ultimate Girls Night. I am so excited to dive in.

But before we do, there's something I wanted to make sure to mention to you all.

In this episode, we're going to be talking about sex in the context of marriage specifically.

But of course, there are so many questions about sex leading up to marriage. The main one being, should we be having sex before we're married?

Should we not be? Why? Why not? These are questions I would love to talk about in a future podcast episode.

But in the meantime, that's something I talk a lot about in my book, The Lipsit Gospel.

The Lipsit Gospel is a story of how I met Jesus, how I became a Christian and how he totally transformed both me and my life.

And along the way, one of the things he transformed was the way I viewed my sex life as I was single and dating.

I talk all about that in The Lipsit Gospel, but of course, the book isn't just about sex.

The Lipsit Gospel is a story of the worst breakup I've ever been through and how God put my heart back together from it.

It's a travel memoir, a story of transformation and hope, and if you're going through a breakup right now,

or if you could use some encouragement in your faith, or if you want to get closer to God, but don't know how,

or if you're struggling saying yes to the plans he has for your life, or trying to figure out what those plans are,

if you have questions about sex, and should you be doing it, should you not be,

if you're feeling shame about some of the past mistakes you've made, or a thousand million other things,
