What If Suppressing Your Desires Is the Problem? With Jay Stringer

from Restored 2 More Hosted by Charity & Clinton Muñoz

For so many of us, especially those raised in the church, we’ve been taught to fight, minimize, or suppress our desires. But what if that’s preventing our healing? In this conversation, we sit down with Jay Stringer to talk about something that impacts every one of us—our desires. In his new book Desire, Jay introduces a different path—one rooted in curiosity instead of shame or control. We talk about why our struggles aren’t random, how our stories shape our desires, and what it looks like to understand what’s happening beneath the surface instead of just trying to manage behavior. This conversation goes deep into family of origin, core beliefs, trauma, and how even the things we’re most ashamed of can actually point us toward healing. Our hope is that this episode helps you slow down, get curious, and begin to see your story—and your desires—in a completely new way.
