    #514 How Deconstruction and Divorce Rocked a Young Couple's Life

    #514 How Deconstruction and Divorce Rocked a Young Couple's Life

    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 don’t 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.

    #512 Friends Who Hurt Us: How To Recognize Unlikely Sources Of Abuse

    #512 Friends Who Hurt Us: How To Recognize Unlikely Sources Of Abuse

    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. It’s 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.

    #511 Why You Need to Laugh More

    #511 Why You Need to Laugh More

    Is laughter important? Why did God give us the ability to laugh?
    Laughter might not be top of mind when it comes to how we live as Christians or how we live in relationship with others, but laughter is a gift God has given to us, and there are many reasons why.
    This week, comedian, author and Pastor Ted Cunningham is Juli’s guest, and he explains the health and relational benefits of laughing much and laughing often.

Grace & Truth

Great insights with the foundation always being rooted in the Word of God, and topics that are important but not always talked about in the church. Loved the Jackie Hill Perry podcast!!

My favorite podcast

I love this podcast so much. I’m 19 and a freshman in college and in a world of confusion, uncertainty, and chaos this helps me remember to run to the Lord and gives me guidance on how to stay disciplined. This podcast reminds me I’m not alone in my sins. It helps me with wisdom and understanding when having conversations with friends. It helps me to discern how to overcome things. I love talking about these episodes with my family and it helps my family to go deeper in our conversations. I’m so grateful that God is using Juli! Thank you for a wonderful podcast!
