Summary

Let’s talk about sex, baby! Skrrt! We know, some of y’all already clutching your pearls like, “Out loud?” Yep. Out loud and in the light. It's time to pull up in your big girl pants because SJR linked up with Brittany Broaddus-Smith to talk sex, faith, healing, and all the stuff purity culture told us to keep hush-hush. They’re flipping the script on shame and breaking down what it really means to know your body, and own it. What if you don’t want it at all? What if you want it too much? What if God’s not mad...just waiting on you to stop hiding?

From figuring out what feels good to healing from what never should’ve happened, this convo is full of truth, wisdom, and zero shame. If all you ever heard was “don’t do it,” but never got the why, this is your reroute. Press play, sis. It’s time.
