Java with Juli

"Every question Jill would ask, I tried to answer. My posture was: I will answer any question without defense. I will tell you what I’m thinking without being prompted. I will walk humbly and differently than I ever have." That’s how Mark Savage rebuilt his marriage after having an affair. On today’s Java with Juli, Juli sits down with Mark and his wife, Hearts at Home founder Jill Savage. Grab your coffee and listen in to how God is restoring their intimacy and what He taught them about “inhumanable” love.

As a role model and encourager to thousands of wives and moms, Hearts at Home founder Jill Savage was shocked and heartbroken to learn that her husband was having an affair. Join Juli and Jill at the coffee shop as Jill candidly shares how she learned of the affair, her journey to trust again, and how God taught her to love her husband even in the midst of his most unlovable choices. Every woman will benefit from Jill’s remarkable story of God’s faithfulness.

"My husband would never randomly skip work to have a date, he isn't much of an improviser, and he definitely doesn't stand up in a crowded area and say 'I LOVE THIS WOMAN!'" Do you wish your husband was more romantic? If so, grab your latte and join Juli, Linda, and Hannah at the coffee shop to hear why Hannah has decided that romance isn’t always found where you think it will be.

Like it or not, our world is changing. Even our Facebook pages can’t escape the political and social issues that are currently rocking our nation. At times you may feel like you don’t belong. That’s okay, because you don’t. As a Jesus follower, this world is not your home. But while you’re here, how can you share the love of Jesus with those who don't yet know Him? Tune into this Java with Juli to find out. ​

At Authentic Intimacy, we love hearing from women. We love answering your questions, and teaching you how to hear from God through his Word and through his Spirit.

Grab your latte, pull up a chair and join us for a candid conversation at the coffee shop.

Women all over the world are excited about the release of the movie, Fifty Shades of Grey – but do they realize how this type of erotica exploits our God given longings rather than satisfy them? If you’re enticed by the Fifty Shades of Grey, we understand – and this program is just for you! Juli and her guests boldly discuss the underlying issues in the culture about female sexuality, and how the questions women have are answered in the book Pulling Back The Shades.

Many women enjoy reading steamy romance novels to escape, but at what cost to true intimacy in their marriage? Women have legitimate longings that the Church has been afraid to talk about, but books like Fifty Shades of Grey exploit them. In this discussion, Dannah Gresh and Yvette Maher discuss why erotica is dangerous.

Abby Ludvigson was a 35-year-old virgin…by choice. Through high school and college Abby clung to God's truth about sex and her decision to save it for marriage. But as a young public school teacher Abby could see that her students had no such truth to cling to, in fact they were bombarded by confusing messages about sexuality. She began speaking publicly, sharing her own story and the freedom she found in following God’s plan for sexual purity. Today this history teacher-turned-“sexpert” is a newlywed, but continues to speak to thousands of teens and parents using her dynamic and memorable presentation style. On this Java with Juli, Juli and Hannah sit down with Abby for some practical wisdom on talking with your kids about sex.

Just like the proposal, the wedding day and the honeymoon, newlywed sex is loaded with excitement and emotion. So when things don’t go quite how you expected in the bedroom, who can you talk to? Left unspoken, unmet expectations and disappointment can affect your marriage and intimacy with your spouse for years to come. But it doesn’t have to. On this Java with Juli, three young brides join us at the coffee shop and share their experiences on how to approach sex on your wedding night, and how to talk with your spouse when things don’t go as planned.

Women are worriers. We worry about things that will happen. We worry about things that won’t happen. We see it as part of our job as a friend, wife, or mom. But Scripture tells us to be anxious about nothing. So how do you stop the worry? Today Linda Dillow, co-founder of Authentic Intimacy and best-selling author of the book Calm My Anxious Heart, shares stories from her 30-year journey of learning to surrender her worry and put her trust in God. Find a comfy chair, grab your coffee, and settle in for some wisdom and laughter on this Java with Juli.

You’ve probably heard that men are “visually wired” –and you’ve likely wondered what in the world that means.

“I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry I hurt you.” “I’m sorry I hurt you. Will you forgive me?” There are many ways to say "I'm sorry". But when it comes to apologies, sometimes what we say isn’t as important as what the other person hears. On this Java with Juli, join Juli, Yvette and Dr. Gary Chapman at the coffee shop to discuss what’s so important about those two little words.
