SHOW NOTES

Dear Friends,

This podcast is about “The Soul of Sex.” This is an honest, vulnerable, and transparent conversation. I talk with Jim Cress, a licensed professional and trained counselor who specializes in the soul of sex.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a conversation you need to exercise wisdom with in terms of who listens to this. It’s a mature conversation not intended for children.

But is is a conversation to enter with your friends and spouse.

When we say “where soul meets the world” in this podcast, this is a particular conversation we need to find the light and way forward.

Blessings as you listen!

Stephen W Smith
