I'm so glad that you join me each week for Java with Julie. This podcast is an outreach of authentic

intimacy, a ministry passionate about helping men and women reclaim God's design for sexuality in their lives.

Did you know that over 50% of our budget comes from donations? Most of our work is supported

financially by the people who have been impacted by this ministry

and want others to be touched by it as well.

I want to share a story with you that demonstrates how God is working through job with

Julie.

You're going to hear from a woman whose husband has been struggling with pornography since

before they were married.

And even though they are seeking help together, she feels hurt and discouraged each time

he stumbles or has a setback. As you listen, I hope you'll consider giving a gift to help the

work of Job with Julie this year end. In September of 2017, is when it happened again after his

longest period of sobriety. It was nine months of sobriety from

pornography. He had given in. I had found out and I was just at a loss of what to do anymore. And that's

when I found authentic intimacy online. And recently, just a few weeks ago, I was on a walk through

the neighborhood with my one-year-old. And the podcast was answering your questions about marriage.

And one of the questions was, I've heard a lot about what women should do when they

first find out that their husbands are addicted to pornography, but can you speak to the wife

whose husband has battled at their entire marriage? And he's involved in support groups. He's

got accountability partners.

We're doing all the right things, but yet it still comes back up as an issue.

And when I heard them read that question, my heart kind of stopped.
