Shame has a way of convincing us to hide. But Jesus doesn’t turn away from your shame. He steps toward it.
This week, Juli sits down with Dr. Carol Tanksley and Allie Mazur to shed light on the often unspoken reality of living with an STI. Together, they unpack the weight of shame, the fear of rejection, and the questions that can follow a diagnosis like herpes.
You’ll be reminded that while consequences of sin may linger, they don’t have the final word. Jesus meets us right in the middle of our brokenness, offering freedom, healing, and hope.
If you’ve ever felt like your story is “too much” or “too broken,” this conversation is for you.
