Hey friend, it's Julie. Are you looking for community and gospel center teaching about sexuality?

Well, right now, you can connect with others through an online book study with authentic intimacy.

We invite you to dive into a deeper understanding of who God is and why he cares about you.

This fall, we still have spots available in our study through Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillo.

The online study will include weekly meetings with a trained authentic intimacy leader,

a copy of the book, and a live Q&A with Linda herself.

You'll also receive a two-month membership to Authentic Inemacy that includes access to all

of our archive Java with Julie episodes and webinars. We'll link to details in our show notes or just

go to authenticinemacy.com to learn more.

They do this by providing lots of great insights on the latest trends in media and teen culture by having summits where you can learn from experts and conversation guides that help you talk to

Today, Dave and I are going to talk about how the shame that we feel shows up as we try to

parent our kids, how we sometimes use shame to try to control our kids, and because of that,

we miss the opportunity to connect with

them and how you can set up a you can tell me anything environment in your home and actually
