Summary

Theology meets real life in this episode of Java with Juli! We’re asking the difficult questions about identity and sexuality: Why does language (e.g. “gay” versus “same-sex attracted”) matter? Can two people of the same gender share covenant love? Are some people born gay? As you do life with friends in the LGBT+ community, HOW you answer these questions is important, but maybe not so important as HOW WELL you listen.

Guests: Laurence Koo, Lori Wildenberg, and Sarah Schepins (Axis.org)

0:00.0	Hey friend, it's Julie. You know, COVID-19 has really limited our ability to gather together for events this season.
0:08.3	But that doesn't mean we have to stop learning together. So this year, we're getting creative and taking our Reclaim event online.
0:16.0	Reclaim 2.0 is happening September 17th through the 20th, and it's free for everyone. We'll feature more than a dozen new video interviews with renowned experts in sexuality like Jackie Hill Perry, Jay Stringer, Christopher Yuan, Linda Dello, Mary Dumuth. We'll have live panel discussions and we'll take your questions. We'll also feature some of my teaching from last
0:38.3	year's reclaim conference. At each reclaim event, our focus is on reclaiming the truth of God as
0:44.3	the body of Christ. The goal is not to win an argument about sexual morality, but to recapture
0:50.1	the lost territory of human hearts as they've experienced pain, confusion, and brokenness
0:55.0	and sexuality. You're going to be challenged to rethink both the cultural and the traditional
1:00.1	Christian narratives of sexuality in light of what God's word says, and you'll consider
1:05.0	your own commitment to sexual integrity. My desire for you is to be equipped to walk with others in both the grace and truth of
1:12.9	Jesus. Whether you're single or married, male or female, 18 or 80, will you reclaim with us?
1:20.6	You can register today at authenticinvenancy.com slash reclaim.

1:34.5	This podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's
1:40.4	design for sexuality.
1:42.3	And speaking of reclaiming, I hope you've registered for the Reclaim 2.0
1:47.1	conference. This is our first free online summit that's happening this weekend, September 17th through
1:53.7	the 20th. We've got over a dozen brand new video interviews with experts, some of which you've
1:59.5	heard on job with Julie, like Jay Stringer,
2:02.2	Jackie Hill Perry, Linda Dillo, Greg and Aaron Smalley, and Christopher Yuan. You can participate
2:08.4	in live panel discussions like the one you're going to be hearing today. And in case you missed it,
