Hey there, I'm Julie Slattery, and welcome to a bonus episode of Java with Julie.

This podcast is a production of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

Today I'm talking with Pastor Todd Wilson.

Todd is a theologian and pastor and the author of the book, Mere Sexuality. And if you know me at all, you know I'm a bit of a theology nerd.

So I love this conversation. But even if that's not you, stay tuned. Because Todd and I are going

to talk about how two back-to-back generations view sexuality so differently

and ask the question, does either generation actually understand what the Bible says about it?

We'll touch on how some of the greatest minds disagree on what the Bible says and why that is.

And I'm also going to ask Todd if he feels the issue of homosexuality is important enough to take a stand on, even at the cost of division in the church.

So this is one of my favorite topics to dive into, but if you have a topic or a guest you'd like to hear on Job with Julie, will you write us and let us know?

And God's been leading you in similar ways that he's been leading me in terms of putting

together puzzle pieces and projecting a bigger view of sexuality.

Yes, that's right.

Exactly.

And it's fun to be able to connect now and be encouraged by what you're sexuality. Yes, that's right. Exactly.

And it's fun to be able to connect now and be encouraged by what you're doing,
