This is Julie Slattery and we're going to get real here for a minute.

Do you hate sex? Are you too tired, never in the mood or is the sex just hurt?

Maybe there's so much tension in your marriage you don't even desire intimacy with your spouse.

Now I know that these questions represent why a lot of people find our ministry.

During this month's webinar, we're going to be

addressing these kinds of questions. On Monday, April 15th at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, join me for a conversation

about overcoming barriers in the bedroom and learn things that every married couple can do

to work towards actually enjoying the gift of sex.

And as always, I'll answer your questions live.

So join us Monday, April 15th at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Now, this is a member's only event.

Our membership program is $8 per month and gives you access to tons of content and opportunities to connect like this webinar.

So if you're not a member, just go to Authenticinimacy.com slash member to join us.

Hey there, I'm Julie Slattery and this is Java with Julie.

I'm so glad you've joined me today.

Java with Julie is a production of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to

reclaiming God's design for sexuality. Here at Authentic intimacy, we're thankful for the

cultural shift that is now encouraging men and women to speak out about past sexual abuse or

emotional pain. It hasn't always been that way. For years, we really haven't given permission

to talk about traumatic things in our past. And I would say that in some settings, we still don't

feel that freedom. Many Christians carry the burden to put on a brave face and pretend things

never happened. So we stuff memories, we hide pain and keep secrets.
