On today’s In Your Pants Podcast, we discuss the intersection of faith and intimacy, bridging the gap between the sacred and the sexy! The discussion on religion and sexuality is often delicate and loaded with tension, especially for those who have grown up in religious communities.

Our guests, Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson, hosts of the Sexvangelicals Podcast, unpack the emotional and sexual ramifications for couples navigating life in religious communities or after leaving religious communities. The conversation touches upon the challenges couples face due to adverse religious experiences and share practical communication tips to empower couples in fostering more enjoyable and fulfilling sexual experiences.
