| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Job with Julie. I'm Julie Slattery and thanks for listening. This podcast is a production of |
| 0:09.0 | authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for intimacy. My guest today is my friend Esther Fleece Allen. I've known Esther for many, and I'm so excited to have her as my guest on Job with Julie. |
| 0:23.6 | Esther has written two books out of her own personal experience that I highly recommend. The first one is called No More Faking Fine, and her latest book is called Your New Name. She and I sat down to talk about why it's important that we bring our pain and our |
| 0:38.6 | lament to God and how we walk out of our true identity in Christ instead of walking out of the |
| 0:44.5 | labels that we or others have put on us. When we talk about sexuality, we know that the enemy |
| 0:50.2 | often uses sexual shame to keep us from walking in our identity as beloved daughters and |
| 0:55.7 | sons of God. Some of the labels that I hear when people approach me after I speak at events are |

| 1:48.9 | But when those amazing authors are also good friends of mine, it's like a double blessing. |
| 1:54.4 | Well, I feel just honored to be with you, Julie. |
| 1:56.9 | I've looked up to you for years and you are a friend. |
| 1:59.4 | So I wish I could actually be the one |
| 2:01.6 | interviewing because I have a lot of questions as a new mom for you. But thank you for having me on today. |
| 2:07.6 | Well, you and I first got to know each other way back when we both worked at Focus on the |
