I'm Julie Slattery and I'm so glad you tune in today.

Java with Julie is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

In this Java with Julie episode, we're going to continue a conversation that we started last time

when we talked about how the evangelical purity movement had some truth at its core,

but it was communicated in a way that

caused some shame and confusion, and even in ways that weren't consistent with the gospel.

So if stay pure until you're married isn't the right message, then what is? Well, I believe

it's a message of sexual integrity, and I'm excited for you to join Hannah

and me as I share what sexual integrity means, how it can be different for you depending

on your story, and what it looks like practically to walk in sexual integrity.

We mentioned a few of our past Java with Julie episodes that dig deeper into this subject,

so we'll link to those in our show notes,

as well as to the book Rethinking Sexuality.
