Summary

In a culture that elevates marriage, sex, and romance as the ultimate goals, many of us are left feeling unfulfilled or sidelined. Have we unknowingly made idols out of good things? In this episode, Juli unpacks how our hearts can get entangled in false narratives—even within the Church.

Whether you're married, single, or discipling others, you’re invited to surrender your desires and expectations to God and find contentment on the other side.
