#334: What Your Pastor Needs to Know About Porn
Most pastors—understandably—aren't trained in sexual addiction or the impact of sexual trauma in marriage, and some of the popular Christian advice espoused in this area has done more harm than good. In this episode, Juli sits down with Mark & Rosie McKinney to debunk misconceptions about pornography and offer hope, encouragement, and practical tools for healing.
Guests: Rosie Makinney & Mark MaKinney, CSAT

Why Age Doesn't Always Lead to Wisdom
With each birthday celebration, I have friends and relatives who console each other by saying something like, “At least we are getting wiser!” There is an old adage that with age comes wisdom. Without a doubt, the longer we live on the planet, the more we have seen and experienced. It’s tempting to look at younger generations with a knowing smile that says, “You’re so naive. I was once like that.” Not so fast, Boomer! The know-how that comes from life experiences does not always translate into true wisdom. As I’ve pondered my own journey, I see three things that become barriers to gaining a heart of wisdom with the passing years.

Make sense of sexuality.
Many Christians believe that their sexual choices and beliefs are a separate category from their spiritual pursuits. We simply assume that God doesn’t speak into our sexuality – that He allows us to make those choices for ourselves.
This is a destructive lie. In fact, sexuality and spirituality were designed to be inseparable. Our sexual beliefs and behaviors are a reflection of what we truly believe about God. Every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual question.
Engaging in sexual conversations is a necessary part of the Great Commission (making disciples). People need help understanding their sexuality within the context of God’s character and biblical teaching.
