We used to say, "If you don’t talk to your kids about sex, someone else will." These days, there is no more “if” about it! Whether it’s a movie, social media, or a friend at school, you can count on something or someone else talking to your kids about sex. How can you join the conversation? In this episode, Juli sits down with Sean McDowell to talk about helping your kids develop their worldview on sexuality—both in the opportunities you create and in the opportunities born out of everyday life and parenting.

One of Hettie’s greatest fears was that she would be raped. In her home country of South Africa, it is estimated that over 30% of women will be raped in their lifetime. So when she was awakened one night by her husband, with hands tied behind his back and escorted by four strange men, she thought she was about to become a statistic. In this episode, Hettie Brittz sits down with Juli to share her story. Grab your coffee and settle in for one of the most amazing accounts of God’s power and presence that you will ever hear.​
