Hey friend, this is Julie and I have some really exciting news to share with you.

Mark your calendars because we are having an authentic intimacy conference October 4th and 5th.

Now this is an opportunity for our community to gather and to invite other people who need to understand God's heart towards sexual issues.

Our theme for this conference is Reclaim, God's design for sexuality and why it matters.

To reclaim means retrieving or recovering something that was previously lost, and that's

our heart to see God reclaim broken places within our hearts and families.

So at this event, you're going to be challenged to rethink both the cultural and

traditional religious narratives of sexuality in light of God's word. You'll also hear

teaching and really powerful testimonies that prompt you, whether you're single or married,

to consider your own commitment to sexual integrity, and you'll be equipped to walk with hurting

friends in both the grace and truth that Jesus demonstrates.

I hope you'll plan to join us right here in my hometown, Akron, Ohio.

This event is for men and women, ages 16 and up, and registration just open, so save your seat at authenticemacy.com slash reclaim.

Thank you. Intimacy.com slash reclaim. Well, hi there.

This is Julie Slattery.

Thanks so much for joining me for a job with Julie.

And this podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming

God's design for sexuality.

Now, today we're going to talk specifically about the unique challenges of blended families.

Now, even if you're not in a blended family, you know and you love someone who is, and so this

conversation is really important for all of us.

I recently had the opportunity to speak on the family life, love like you
