Episode Synopsis

What shaped your understanding of sex growing up? Was it a quiet conversation with a parent, an awkward health class, a warning laced with shame? For many of us—especially those raised in Christian homes—our foundational beliefs about sex were vague, fear-based, or simply unspoken. We may have heard “don’t do it until you’re married,” but little else. And the unspoken message? Sex is bad… until one day, magically, it’s good.   We believe it’s time to talk. This summer, we’re inviting experts, sharing real stories, surfacing hard questions, and pointing back to God’s truth. Because God cares deeply about sex. He designed it. And He wants something better for all of us. Let’s break the silence—together.   Content Warning: This episode is best suited for those ages 16 and up.   Show notes:   We want to hear from you!
