| 0:00.0 | Hey friend, this is Julie Slattery and you're listening to Java with Julie. |
| 0:08.8 | This podcast is a production of authentic intimacy and ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's |
| 0:14.1 | design for sexuality. |
| 0:16.0 | The conversation you're going to hear today is one that I've been praying about for a few |
| 0:20.1 | weeks. |
