Hey there, this is Julie Sattery and you're listening to Java with Julie.

This podcast is a production of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's

design for intimacy.

While we're nearing the end of April, and I think one of the most difficult things about the

COVID-19 pandemic is that many, many of you have lost jobs or small businesses.

Losing your income or even having that threat looming over your head is stressful.

It's a scary thing to walk through.

And you know, even without a global pandemic, it can be really difficult on marriage.

The decisions we make about money are both daily and emotional, even more so in the

midst of COVID-19.

The way we view money, think about, feel about money can be very different and unique to each

of us.

So as we thought about how we could minister to you during this time, we decided to bring

back a conversation with Scott and Bethany Palmer,

who are known as the money couple. Scott and Bethany are financial planners, and I sat down with them

to ask, how can we help couples take some of the stress out of their money conversations?

How can we help them make decisions that they both can feel good about? This was recorded long before COVID-19, so we're not going to be talking about what's happening

today, but what you're going to hear will help you, whether you're married or single,

to better understand how to think about money and how that impacts your relationships.

We'll link to the money personality assessment you're going to hear about in our show notes,

as well as a free Java pack we've created to offer you hope and encouragement during the COVID-19

pandemic. Now let's head to the coffee shop with Scott and Bethany Palmer.
