If you struggle with low desire, pain during sex, or difficulty with orgasm and don’t know where to go for help, this week’s Java with Juli is for you! Juli sits down with certified sex therapist Josh Spurlock to explore what Christian sex therapy really is—and what it isn’t.

Josh explains the difference between sex therapy and traditional counseling, the most common challenges he helps couples overcome, and why having a therapist who respects God’s design for sexuality matters.

From dispelling myths like “sex is supposed to hurt” to offering hope that orgasm is possible for nearly every woman, this conversation brings biblical wisdom and practical help to some of the most sensitive places in your marriage.

“I wish I would’ve known this 20 years ago” doesn’t have to be your story. Listen in!

Guest: Josh Spurlock, LPC, CST

The power of abuse lies in secrecy. The power of healing begins with telling.

In this episode, Tim Hein shares his story of surviving childhood sexual abuse and the journey of healing. From the courage it takes to break the silence, to the importance of being believed, to the steps of recovery that lead to restoration, Tim offers raw honesty and hard-earned wisdom. He reflects on how trauma shaped his life, marriage, and faith—and how choosing to tell your story is ultimately an act of self-love and grace.

This hopeful conversation offers encouragement for survivors and practical insight for those who walk alongside them.
