Dear friends at Authentic Intimacy, I just really want to thank God for this ministry. I have

been married for almost six years now. Growing up, no one spoke to me about sex, and I went through

some sexual trauma. I struggled to enjoy sex, or to even say the word, because of the shame.

I didn't quite get that God made sex for my husband

and for me, but God has been using your ministry and it is changing my life. Podcasts like

Finding Your Identity in Christ, 12 Secrets of a Hot Mama, and your book, No More Headaches

Have Brought Me Even Closer to God and to my husband.

Hey there, I'm Julie Slattery, and my heart is just full of joy when we receive letters like this one.

In fact, I'm often left speechless.

In First Thessalonians, Paul says, how can we give God enough thanks for you and all the joy that you give us?

And that's exactly how I feel. What an amazing opportunity I have to partner with you in ministry. Your financial gifts make this podcast possible.

There are so many men and women who desperately need to know God's truth about sexuality.

Would you make a year-end contribution today at Authentimacy.com? I want to see him change

even more hearts and lives in 2017. I hope you'll join me. Welcome to Job with Julie. I'm here at

Mission Coffee Roasters and wish you were here enjoying Colorado with us, but you're going to have a chance to enjoy a good conversation about a topic that we don't usually get in depth into.

And that's a theology of singleness.

Why would God create us with the opportunity and desires to be intimate, to be sexual, but yet call some of us to live

out our lives, or at least a long portion of our lives in singleness. And I have with me at the

coffee table two practical experts on this, because they are both walking this road and walking it intimately

with the Lord.

So these are two voices that you may have heard before on job with Julie.

First of all, Dr. Christopher Yuan.
