Teddi and Nick interview their first guests some more!

Julia and Jeremiah from the Sexvangelicals Podcast join us to remember all the terrible sex and relationship advice the church gave us and the good advice they didn't want us to have.

This is Part 2 in a two-part episode in which Julia and Jeremiah from the Sexvangelicals discuss the book Love & Respect with Nick and Teddi.

In this second part, the quartet get into the gritty, shitty details of the relationship advice Eggerichs tries to pass off as useful. Julia and Jeremiah try to break through all the noise of the "crazy cycle," and Nick and Teddi get to bring a bit of gender studies to the conversation. All told, this episode will either leave you feeling grateful for legitimate mental health options or as disrespected as a wife in a 90s sitcom.

Who are the Sexvangelicals? Julia Postema and Jeremiah Gibson are the co-hosts of the podcast Sexvangelicals: The Sex Education the Church Didn't Want You to Have. They are both Boston-based licensed psychotherapists and certified sex therapists who work with clients in Massachusetts. They currently live in Utrecht, The Netherlands. They specialize in helping couples with negative religious backgrounds discover sexuality that works for their partnership. They enjoy traveling to places that tend to fly under the radar, long-distance hiking, cooking very spicy food, unexpected conversations, and introverted days filled with reading and drinking fancy tea.
