Widowhood presents profound challenges, with loneliness permeating every aspect of life, including the realm of sexuality. The loss goes beyond losing a life partner; it extends to losing a sexual companion as well.
In this weekâs Java with Juli, Dr. Carol Tanksley, who became widowed after just seven years of marriage in 2016, delves into the complexities faced by widows, and sheds light on the emotional and psychological hurdles they face. She also shares her personal experience of surrendering her sexuality to God in widowhood.

For most marriages, the most challenging years are the earliest ones. Marital problems can come in any number of forms, but sometimes the most difficult to navigate are those you donât see coming.
Few know this better than Chris and Stephanie Teague, the duo behind Out of the Dust, who experienced divorce suddenly after only three and a half years of marriage.
The couple join Juli to discuss exactly what happened before their marriage fell apart, and what God did in both of them to put it back together.

While many of us are familiar with the concept of abuse, we are typically familiar with the conventional stereotypes around abuse. We typically picture a younger, weaker party who is taken advantage of by a dominant person. Itâs rare we picture a friend, mentor or someone we trust harming us.
Unfortunately this is what happened to Tricia Lott Williford. In the same 72-hour span in which she experienced the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, she experienced sexual assault from someone she considered a friend and a mentor.
Tricia and her therapist, Jana Richardson, join Juli to talk about how to recognize, fight, and recover from abuse in all its forms.

What can we learn from close examination of the lives of the men we read about in scripture? These were real people,who the Bible reveals had their own very human struggles, battling insecurity, pride, deception, and lust.
This weekâs podcast guest, Chase Replogle, is a pastor at Bent Oak Church in Missouri, and is the author of âThe Five Masculine Instincts". The book covers the lessons we can learn from male Biblical figures like Samson, Moses, and Cain. This is a great episode that discusses some common motivators for men (and women), and offers guidance on how to address inner motivations that push us further from Godâs heart and calling on our lives.

Is there a theological approach or framework to understanding gender? Is there scriptural support for the messages we receive about gender from movies, books, and institutions? And what does it mean for us to live as âlights on a hillâ within a culture that continually evolves in its discussions about gender and sexual issues?
Join John and Sarah Stonestreet from the Colson Center as they join Juli in exploring some of the underlying beliefs surrounding sexuality in our culture, and talk about how we can embrace and pursue the good and beautiful narrative found in scripture.

For too long, many Christians have heard and believed the misconception that living in Godâs freedom and redemption means theyâll never struggle with sin or temptation. This is one of the things the Bible is pretty clear on. The heroes of the faith like Paul, David, Moses, and Abraham loved and new God and still lived imperfectly.
Maybe itâs time for us to recognize that being saved doesnât mean weâll never sin again, but that it means weâre on a journey of loving Jesus, pursuing Him, falling short and returning to Him.
This weekâs podcast guest, Lina Abujamra, knows this well. She joins Juli to talk about what it looks like to spend a lifetime struggling with lust and sexual temptation, and still choose Jesus.

Itâs one thing to hear someone say secrets and sexual addiction are destructive to a marriage and a family, itâs another thing entirely to experience it.
Phil and Priscilla Fretwell understand this more than most. One afternoon, while her husband was at work, Priscilla got a call from the video store enquiring for an overdue video. Shocked and confused, she called her husband to ask him about it. His only response was: âIâm coming homeâ.
Many years, tears and miracles later, Phil and Priscilla have seen God move in their hearts and in their marriage in ways they could never have imagined.

Pregnancy has its ups and downs, but where the rubber hits the road for most is postpartum. If youâre a woman who has had a baby or youâre a man married to one, you understand that there are fairly common challenges specifically around postpartum sex.
Thereâs a lot to navigateâchanging bodies, new responsibilities, challenging hormones, itâs no wonder women struggle to figure out how they feel about sex and couples are hard pressed to find a new sexual rhythm.
In this much-needed and highly requested podcast episode, Juli is joined by pelvic floor therapist Heather Marra, and Dr. Jennifer Degler as they explain why sex is so different postpartum, and what wives and their husbands can do about it.

If you caught someone in sin, how would you respond to them?
Tim Ross was 18 years old when his mother caught him watching porn. Her response was to ask one question: âWhat are you doing?â and then to turn, walk away, and pray.
30 years later that night remains seared in Timâs memory as the night grace, mercy and truth reached in and pulled him out of darkness and into light. Tim tells Juli:
What finally prompted him to share what he had been through
How a faith-filled response led him to more vulnerability
What he did to overcome his addiction to porn, and
Why honesty and vulnerability are so necessary for our healing
