| 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, |
| 0:14.2 | 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 |

| 1:22.6 | Like I knew my parents were very affectionate, but I never understood the purpose of sex outside of it being |
| 1:30.3 | dirty. Yeah, God was nowhere involved in any of that. |
| 1:34.3 | I mean, I'm a married heterosexual Christian and I'm supposed to have this figured out, right? |
| 1:41.3 | But I don't. Like, I was hurting and broken. Our marriage was not good. Like, |
