Java with Juli

There are hurting women all around the world and no matter what “side of the tracks” they’re on, Jesus loves them dearly. Dr. Juli Slattery and her guests discuss reaching out to women who strip and prostitute themselves for a living. We think you’ll be surprised at how the wounds of these women may be similar to your own.

If you’re single there are many things to consider before taking the leap into marriage. Anyone can get married, but are you focused on marrying the right person? And if you’re looking to remarry, how do you prevent making the same mistakes again?

“Not tonight, honey. I’m just not in the mood.” The stereotype of a woman who is trying to avoid intimacy with her husband by using this line may seem familiar, but more and more, men are the ones rejecting sex with their wives. Why? Find out, and learn what you can do if you have a stronger sex drive than your husband by listening to this informative and candid conversation.

What do you do when your marriage isn’t what you want it to be, but your spouse doesn’t want to work on it, no matter how many times you ask, beg and plead? Where are the healthy boundaries? And what if someone told you that God may be using your marriage to teach you about patience, sacrifice and long-suffering? Christian psychologists, Drs. Chuck and Michael Misja share how to be free from shame if your marriage is not “successful” by conventional Christian standards.

This is a fun conversation with "the family next door" - the Slattery Family!  Join Mike, Juli, Michael, Andrew and Christian as they talk about fun family memories and embarrassing mistakes that make the holidays special! You'll even get to meet the Slattery family dog- Snickers!

Join Authentic Intimacy team members, Hannah and Linda as they discuss the dangerous questions of marriage. Hannah's been married for less than 5 years, and Linda's been married for 50. Do you think they have some different struggles when it comes to being a wife? The answer may surprise you.

Have you lost your enthusiasm or your energy? Has your sense of adventure and willingness to gather in social situations dwindled because you "just don't feel like it"? There are many things that can cause a depressive state (especially when the holidays arrive), and on this Java With Juli we discuss what depression looks like, and what you can do about it.

Who feeds your soul and your mind when it comes to your body image? There are so many young girls and women who don't measure up to society's standards of beauty. They believe that they're not good enough, so they develop serious and sometimes deadly eating disorders -- but they are losing much more in their lives than weight. Here's an honest discussion of loving your body the way God made you - no matter if you're petite or not!

What does domestic violence, poverty for women, and a lack of relationship commitment have in common? Would you believe it is cohabitation? Join us for an informative discussion of the social science of living together before marriage. If you think moving-in with your boyfriend or girlfriend will foster a healthier relationship, this Java With Juli will make you think again.Guest: Glenn Stanton

The challenges of married life change as we grow older, and very few people talk about them. That's why Dr. Juli Slattery had invited her mom, Jo Rybka, and Linda Dillow to share their experiences as chapters have opened and closed during their marriages. What can a woman do to minister to her husband and protect his dignity while the culture dismisses him because of his age? This is a podcast you'll want to share with your mom, your grandmother or your mentor!

How much screen time are you consuming each day? Do your children gravitate to digital communication, rather than face-to-face interaction? On this edition of Java with Juli, we talk about how the advances in technology have affected family relationships. It’s the good, the bad, and the boundaries needed in today’s information age.

So many Christian women “do all the right things”. They save their virginity for their wedding night, read the Word and attend church, seek out a strong Spiritual man to lead them, and look forward to being married one day. Yet often times, these women are single into their late twenties, thirties, and forties. Some feel as though they’ll never find their “happily ever after.” On this Java with Juli, we discuss healthy and Biblical expectations with two lovely young millennial women.

This is the story of how one husband’s pornography addiction lead to a distorted perspective of sexuality. His illegal actions, expectations and betrayal crushed his wife’s heart. She moved 3000 miles away and filed for divorce. That’s when God stepped in and changed each of their lives. What happened during their marriage and after they split up will have you shaking your head in disbelief!

Everyone's got an opinion about sex... your mother, your hairdresser, and your friends; but God has a definite, distinct perspective too! So instead of going to the world, we're going to the Word. Here's intentional conversation about the subject many never discuss.

Java with Juli doesn’t shy away from the tough issues! Join Dr. Juli Slattery as she discusses two of the most polarizing topics in the church today, divorce and remarriage. What does the Bible say? How does your theology line up? We’re not saying we have all the answers, but this conversation will certainly give you prayer points to take to the Lord.
