Java with Juli

Sex with your husband sounds nice…but the busyness of day-to-day life leaves you feeling disconnected. In part two of this conversation, Juli and her guest move from talking about getting your body ready, to getting your emotions ready! The emotional aspect of your marriage is an important part of the “sexual desire triangle".  Being intentional about building an emotional connection with your man (talking, date nights, taking a “sex-cation”) will create intimacy that spills over into the bedroom.  Grab your java and join us to learn more!

Unlike most men (who always seem to be in the mood, always climax and never experience pain), figuring out how to enjoy sex can be a mystery to women. But we know that women, too, are divinely designed to experience pleasure in the bedroom.  Join Dr. Juli Slattery and her guest for this two-part conversation about how to prime your body, mind and soul to receive and respond to sexual pleasure.

You’re braver than you think.  Bravery doesn’t always mean running into a burning building. For most of us, it means getting up in the morning, acknowledging our brokenness, and being our best, authentic selves. It means doing hard things, sharing our stories, and letting others see our brokenness too. Join Juli and her guest as they talk about what makes us brave and how bravery makes us beautiful. Guest: Lee Wolfe Blum Mentioned: Give to Authentic Intimacy today! Books: Brave is the New Beautiful and Table in the Darkness

Jennifer went to her doctor to get help for the excruciating pain she felt during sex. She left with a clean bill of health and a dose of useless platitudes: “Try to relax. Have a glass of wine.

Guests: Aaron & Jennifer Smith Mentioned: Unveiled Wife

Today Juli & Hannah sit down at the coffee shop to breathe new life into an old-fashioned word: reverence.  Join us to hear what it means to be reverent, how a reverence for God impacts how you view your own sexuality and informs the choices you make, and how it affects your relationships with others.  Guest: Hannah Nitz Mentioned: Blog: Have You Forgotten Who God Is?

Do you pray about your sex life? About that friend you're hoping will become more than a friend? Some of us surrender to God without ever telling Him what we want. (Isn't that what good Christians do?) For others, our prayer lives sound like one long to-do list for God. But true intimacy requires both surrender and honesty. Thankfully, Jesus shows us how to pray this way. Want to go deeper in your intimate relationships? Join us for Java with Juli. Guest: Elisa Morgan Mentioned: The Prayer Coin (book)

It’s time to let women know there is healing after abortion.  While Christians rightly proclaim the sanctity of life, we often neglect to share that Jesus came to heal every wound, including that of abortion.  In this episode you’ll hear stories of hope, healing and redemption after abortion.  Let’s break the silence!   Guests: Joni Shepherd, Sharolyn Eckserson, Deborah Hilker Mentioned: Life Network Forgiven and Set Free For Life; Defending the Defenseless Surprised by the Healer Rethinking Sexuality
