Dr. Juli Slattery

Welcome to Job with Julie.

I am Julie Slattery, and I'm so glad that you're here.

Now this podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, and we are so grateful as we wrap up 2025 and think about all the things that God has done within and through this ministry.

And as someone who joins me here on Job With Julie each week, you are part of that.

I get so much joy when I get to hear from you about how this podcast has helped you on your journey of making sense of God and sexuality.

Now, you know, I believe we absolutely need to be rooted in a biblical understanding of God's design for sexuality.

But as we talk about topics like that, we can't lose the heart of the gospel and what it practically means to be united as the bride of Christ.

In our conversations about sexual matters, there can be a lot of disagreement in the church, particularly over some of the nuances.

We've hit on some of those this year, like whether you should use preferred names and pronouns, whether it's okay to use birth control, and what it looks like to be a biblical husband or wife.

Now, I want to clarify that pursuing unity doesn't mean that we water down theology or we ignore sin.

You know, here on Job with Julie, we often live in this tension of really wanting to stand on biblical truth related to difficult issues, but also pursuing unity with our brothers and sisters.

And I hope as you've listened to this podcast, you've heard that tension.

Now, the conversation you're going to hear today is all about this.

It was accorded a little bit over a year ago, and Hannah Nitz joined me.

But it speaks directly in how we hold those two things together, truth and love, conviction with humility.

And as I thought about how I wanted to wrap up 2025, this is a conversation that God put on my heart.

There really is no greater challenge for us than to love God and to love each other well.

And as you listen, if what you hear resonates with you, I'm going to ask you if you'll consider partnering with us as we continue to bring you conversations about God and sexuality that tackle honest questions and real-life sexual pain in ways that actually build up the body of Christ, not tear it down.

As we're closing out the year, we are so close to our annual fundraising goal.

We're at about 95%.
