Some ideas are unpopular for a reason—and others are unpopular because they ask us to slow down and think.
UNPOPULAR is a space for thoughtful, faith-rooted conversation with Tim and Bella, engaging difficult questions about life, relationships, virtue, and what it means to pick up your cross and follow in a culture that prizes self-leadership.

Crash Course to a Great Sex Life: Preparing for your Wedding Night and Marriage
Christians are often taught a lot about how not to have sex before marriage, but not nearly as much about how to actually build a healthy sex life once they're married.
So in this episode, we're talking about the practical side of sex in Christian marriage: how to approach your wedding night without putting too much pressure on it, why good sex is more about selflessness than performance, how to figure out what you actually like and communicate that to your spouse, and what engaged couples should know about contraception before marriage.
We also get into one of those very unromantic-sounding questions that can actually be really helpful: should you schedule sex in marriage?
If you're engaged, newly married, or preparing to have sex for the first time on your wedding night, this is a practical conversation about building an awesome sex life together.
