Java with Juli - Making Sense of God and SexBye Awkward Side Hugs! Getting Over Our Fear of Opposite-Sex Friendships, #323Are awkward "side hugs" the best we can do when it comes to opposite-sex friendships? Juli sits down with author Bronwyn Lea, who helps us rethink what it means to live as brothers and sisters in God's family. They talk about why we often confuse intimacy with sexuality, how Jesus modeled close, non-romantic relationships, and what healthy Christian community can look like (even in a sex-saturated world). Listen in to discover how moving beyond fear-based boundaries can lead to more connection and stronger, life-giving friendships in the body of Christ. Guest: Bronwyn Lea

Over the course of this two-part mini episode, Sarah and AG guest cohost Lea Palmieri deep dive whether or not Craig is simply misunderstood by his cast (and/or the Bravo audience), weighing how some Bravolebs are dragged for 'bad behavior' and others anointed/ignored, the evolution on/off Summer House (and Kyle and Amanda's marital status update), Kyle's response to PK and Dorit's parenting battle (and RHOBH's tenure issue), Bronwyn and Todd's split, Heather and Meredith's stalemate, and more.

So after attending a RHONY S2 style learning annex taught by Craig Conover's PR - second half of the class being focused on that beautiful, beautiful hair - she realizes the best way to talk things Bravo is with her fave Bravoholic ping pong, thanks to pal Lea Palmieri (writer, producer, host, and Southern Charm translator). So they have another Marty Supreme style round of "that's an interesting opinion I disagree with" (aka, an AG classic deep dive): whether or not Craig is simply misunderstood...

preMature Adults20 Beyond Awkward Side Hugs (with Bronwyn Lea)Cross-gendered friendships from middle childhood through adulthood are often met with glances of curiosity or skepticism about the intentions of the individuals involved or the extent to which the nature of the friendship is entirely platonic. In a culture enamored by the sexual, celebrating intimacy in cross-gendered friendships is almost a foreign idea. Bronwyn Lea concerns herself with this subject in her book Beyond Awkward Side Hugs, as well as how it has tended to play out in the church. In today's episode we talk about friendship and its importance within church community through the lens of her book.

Life As He Reveals1. WantingIt seems contrary for the Christian to have wants or desires when we read verses like Luke 9:23 - that we are to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily to follow Jesus. Is there even a place in the Christian life for our wants? Does God care about what we want? Can we trust God with our wants? Listen as guests Amy Lee and Bronwyn Lea help us unpack these questions as we learn how God teaches us to want rightly.

Peter Nittler chats with speaker, author, and pastor Bronwyn Lea about this concept of community-as-family as well as what to do and how to think when the grand promises of Christian community feel like they are far from reali...
