As we launch into spring, we’re also diving into a brand new series here at UNA called Unapologetic Conversations! This special series of episodes will highlight the people who matter most in each of our lives—from our spouse and kids to others who play important roles, individuals like therapists and friends all the way down to ourselves! Yep, what we say to ourselves does matter!

For this first episode of Unapologetic Conversations, we’re featuring an interview Julia did with Heart of Dating’s Kait Tomlin, all about how to date, break up, and embrace your single years! How we talk to our boyfriend or girlfriend matters, and not just if that person turns out to be our future spouse! Together, Julia and Kait share their collective wisdom in this episode, on everything from attachment theory and saying goodbye to shame to why breaking up well is important and their encouragement for those who want to be married. Single, dating, or engaged, you’re not going to want to miss this relevant and practical conversation!

For women especially, the years between ages 25 and 35 are filled with so many milestones, decisions, and ultimately, comparison. That’s exactly why author and podcast host Stephanie May Wilson has come to refer to these years as a woman’s “everything era,” the decade when it seems like everything is happening, all at once. On this week’s episode of Unapologetic, Stephanie joins Julia for a candid conversation that feels like you’re sitting in on a girl’s night between the two that’s packed with wisdom on how to navigate these pivotal years, from women who’ve done it themselves.

Together Julia and Stephanie dive into their shared passions, talking about friendship, girls in ministry, being unique, and their motherhood journeys. Stephanie shares her testimony and talks about how a Bible verse written in lipstick ultimately led her to Christ. Plus, Julia opens up about struggling to fit the stereotypical Christian mold and how she chose to embrace her own way of following Jesus and doing ministry. If you’re a woman in her “everything era” specifically, you’re not going to want to miss out on the practical wisdom and encouragement of this episode!

Stephanie’s newest book—Create A Life You Love—is available for preorder now! Listen to Stephanie’s podcast, Girls Night, or follow her on Instagram to keep up with her latest updates!

Over 40% of Americans believe we’re currently living in the end times. But what will actually happen when the world ends? For this week’s timely episode of Unapologetic, Julia sits down with an expert on end times biblical prophecy: her dad, Dr. Robert Jeffress! Dr. Jeffress has studied the events around Christ’s second coming for many years, and today he and Julia share that knowledge with listeners in a way that’s hopeful, impactful, and easy to understand.

During their conversation, Julia asks Dr. Jeffress the questions we all want answers to, including: why do the end times matter, do we need to be scared of this time in history (answer: not if you’re a born-again Christian!), what does the timeline for the end of the world look like, and what role do the Jewish people play in these discussions. Dr. Jeffress answers each of these questions and more, lending us his invaluable knowledge of biblical prophecy to illustrate how Jesus’s second coming is really the whole point of Scripture. The episode ends on a hopeful note as Julia and Dr. Jeffress both encourage listeners to put their trust in the Lord and look to the future with a hope that’s secure in Christ. If you’ve ever wondered about the end of the world and how it might impact you, don’t miss this relevant episode!

Dr. Robert Jeffress’s newest book—Are We Living in the End Times?—is available everywhere now! Connect with him at ptv.org or by listening to the Pathway to Victory podcast.

It’s easy to put control of our lives in God’s hands when life is going according to plan. We meet the spouse. We get the job. We have the kids. But what happens when life goes anything but according to plan? Pastor Michael McAfee knows the heartache of having his plans derailed. He and his wife, Lauren, walked through a seven-year period of waiting to be parents before welcoming their daughter, Zion, home. A few months later she was diagnosed with cancer (Zion is now celebrating four years of remission!). In the midst of all that uncertainty, Michael learned how to surrender ultimate control to God, no matter the outcome, and that’s the story he shares on today’s unforgettable episode of Unapologetic.

Julia is a friend and fan of the McAfee’s, and also knows what it’s like to struggle through infertility and loss. During their honest and heartwarming conversation, Julia and Michael talk about everything from God’s purpose for suffering and working to surrender that control to Michael’s passion for leading trips through his role at Inspire Experiences and his advice on where to start when it comes to reading the Bible. Towards the end of their conversion the two also discuss how they’ve seen God’s Word prove to be living and active in their own lives. Whatever you’ve walked through or are currently walking through, this uplifting episode will encourage you that God is forever with you and for you.

Michael and Lauren’s book—Beyond Our Control—is available everywhere now! Learn more about Inspire Experiences at inspire.organd follow Michael on Instagram!

Reading the Bible is hard. Especially those books like Numbers, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, can we just skip to the Gospels and Psalms already?! But reading the Bible—the entire Bible—can truly transform us from the inside out, if we let it. That’s what Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of the popular show, The Bible Recap, is here to tell us today: reading the Bible changed her life, and it can change yours too! Julia is thrilled to welcome Tara-Leigh to Unapologetic this week, and these two women who have so much in common don’t waste a second of this conversation! During the episode, Julia asks Tara-Leigh where The Bible Recap (which is getting close to 350 million downloads!) started, why reading the Bible in order can open up the story in new ways, what it means when we say the Bible is living and active, and the impact shared community can have on our daily time with God. Tara-Leigh also gets vulnerable—talking about how growing up in a Christian home led her to believe that she didn’t need to read the Bible that much and how all that changed when she truly fell in love with God’s Word. If you’ve ever wanted to read the entire Bible (or struggled to do so!), this conversation will leave you feeling encouraged and inspired to dive into Scripture anew!
