  • Guest: Hannah Nitz

    All serious topics aside… can we discuss how contagious Hannah Nitz’s laugh is?? I love all she brings to this podcast when she’s been a guest. But the laugh makes me smile and laugh with her. I’ll need to listen again to get the deeper takeaways now😂

    In all seriousness, thanks Juli for your ministry and the hard things you discuss with such gentleness and grace, giving us all a “safe space” to process the things we might’ve been too afraid to confront in our own lives.❤️

    Appreciate that this material is out there from a Christian perspective. The two main hosts are women, which sometimes lead to what feels like unbalanced expectations toward men (not mirrored for women) in the conversations. That’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars, but again the fact that anyone is talking about this as much as they are—really glad for that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Be Present With God, Yourself, and the Ones You Love, #625
Q: How do we even begin to make that shift and learn what it is like to sit, to be present with God, to be present with ourselves and then to translate that into being present with others?
Cook recommends noticing emotions as distinct parts of oneself, meeting them with curiosity instead of shame, and practicing recognition and return: identify what is happening, then reconnect with the assurance of God's loving presence.
How to Be Present With God, Yourself, and the Ones You Love, #625
Q: Why is it so critical to help people become aware of what's going on inside of them?
Cook says understanding one's inner world is essential to healthier relationships because it helps people be present to themselves and others, and to receive God's presence rather than relying only on external tools or behaviors.
Is Your Body Image Stealing Your Joy?, #624
Q: What should someone do when navigating weight-loss medications or making decisions about them?
Slattery recommends considering stewardship and freedom, discussing medical risks and benefits with a doctor, and reflecting on whether food, exercise, appearance, or weight concerns have become controlling.
Is Your Body Image Stealing Your Joy?, #624
Q: What do you encourage women to do when poor body image makes them less engaged sexually or reluctant to let their spouse see their body?
Slattery recommends recognizing how body-image beliefs can steal joy, identifying the lies behind them, and considering how to value the body as a gift rather than expecting it to be perfect.
Q&A: Is Masturbation Wrong if My Spouse Can't Please Me? (+8 more), #623
Q: Is it wrong to please myself if my husband can't do it?
Slattery says the purpose and context matter. Exploring one's body to understand what brings pleasure, with the goal of sharing that knowledge and building intimacy with a spouse, can be part of learning together. Using masturbation to meet one's needs separately from a spouse works against the shared purpose she describes for marital sexuality.
