Java with Juli

Do you have the courage to reach out to someone who is hurting? We often feel fearful or ill-equipped when God calls out of our comfort zone; but God is asking for faithfulness, not perfection. On this Java with Juli, you’ll hear from two women who are dedicated to showing God’s love to prostitutes, even in the midst of their own brokenness and struggles. Guests: Rebecca Moreland & Angel Dague

Angel lived a life of prostitution and drugs on the streets of Akron, Ohio. Her life changed the day she met Becky, a woman who introduced her to Jesus. Today, Angel works alongside Becky, reaching out to women who are trapped in the sex trade industry. We think you’ll be surprised at how the wounds of these women may be similar to your own. Guests: Rebecca Moreland & Angel Dague

"I know that orgasm should not be the main goal of sex, but I am disappointed that I have never experienced it." "I can’t say that I feel enthusiastically about sex. I think about it, and would like to have it more often, but we do not." "My husband and I have been married three years and we have never had good, or even frequent sex." These are comments that we receive from women all over the country. So what do you do when sex is not good? Listen in as Juli, Linda, and Hannah tackle this difficult (but common!) question. Guests: Linda Dillow & Hannah Nitz

Being female has gotten a bad rap. After years of femininity being squelched by the church, a new generation of leaders is sending a different message: You’re equal! You’re strong! You can do anything a man can do! But what’s wrong with being a woman? Join Dr. Juli Slattery and author Julie Roys to hear what we have to lose when we forget the beauty of being female. Guest: Julie Roys

The New York Times recently reported that there is now proof that abstinence-only programs don’t work. They’re right. Teaching our children abstinence alone won't guarantee they'll make it to their weddings as virgins. So, what’s missing from the “just wait” message? Grab your coffee and listen in! Guest: Hannah Nitz

Ashamed. Broken. Afraid. These are just a few of the words that describe a man addicted to pornography; ashamed of his actions, broken by his sin, and afraid of losing everything. Join us for part two of this conversation with Jonathan Daughtery, founder of Be Broken Ministries, who decided that the journey to healing from sexual addiction was well worth the pain he would have to go through to get there. Guest: Jonathan Daugherty, Be Broken Ministries

No one has lived closer to the controversy over being “ex-gay” than Anne Paulk. When her ex- husband returned to the homosexual lifestyle, the world jumped at the opportunity to label him, and anyone else claiming to be “ex-gay”, a fraud. But what if there is no either/or? What if sanctification for those with same-sex attraction is no different than it is for every one of us –a process of becoming more like Jesus, one day at a time? Grab your coffee and join Juli as she talks with Anne Paulk about walking away from same-sex relationships and moving toward God’s design for sexuality. Guest: Anne Paulk

“One of the things I learned was that I could not fix what was broken, but I could create something new.” Join Dr. Juli Slattery and author Tricia Lott Williford at the coffee shop for an inspiring conversation on finding wisdom and lessons through loss. Guest: Tricia Lott Williford

Most people never plan on marrying twice, but many of us will. No matter how you got here, the decision to remarry can be just as thrilling, and even more daunting, as the first time around. Will I get hurt again? Are my kids ready? There’s a lot to consider, but we’ve got you covered. Join us as Dr. Juli and her guests dig deep into what “happily ever after” looks like the second time around. Guests: Dr. Jim Burns & Susan Mathis

Fifty years ago, the original Dating Game featured a single young woman who got to choose between three eligible bachelors. Not being allowed to see them, she chose her guy based on his answers to her questions. Now, turn all of that on its head, and welcome to dating in 2017! Men get to be the choosy ones, and sexuality—not personality—gets the win. Is that what it’s really like to be single these days? Guests: Dr. Mark Regnerus, Lisa Anderson & Brandon Wilson  

How much should I share with my boyfriend about my sexual past? Is masturbating a sin? How much can we do before we’re married? Just because you’re single, doesn’t mean you’re not sexual. Listen in as Juli and two of her single friends answer your questions about sex and dating. Guests: Lisa Anderson & Brandon Wilson

It wasn’t that bad. What happened to you definitely wasn’t as bad as other abuse stories you’ve heard and read about. It’s ridiculous to think it could still bother you after all these years. So why does it? At the coffee shop today, Dr. Juli Slattery sits down with Dr. Dan Allender to discuss the tools you need, and the benefits you’ll reap, when you confront the experiences that keep you from fully loving yourself and others. We’re offering hope for wounded hearts on this episode of Java with Juli! Guest: Dr. Dan Allender
