| 0:00.0 | Thanks so much for joining me for coffee every week on Job with Julie. |
| 0:03.5 | It's such a privilege to walk with you, to learn with you, as we discover God's design for sexuality. |
| 0:09.4 | I started this ministry because God laid such a burden on my heart, particularly for women, for the sexual brokenness I was seeing all around me. |
| 0:17.4 | As he led me to begin speaking on sexuality, I was approached by woman after woman who had |
| 0:22.1 | wounds and questions that just weren't being addressed by the church. Questions like, |

| 1:22.6 | Like, I knew my parents were very affectionate, but I never understood the purpose of sex outside of it being |
