Hey friend, thanks for joining me for another episode of Java with Julie.

I am Julie Slattery, and this listener-supported podcast is an outreach of Authentic and Missy,

which is a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

And I'm thrilled to have as my guest today, Jackie Hill Perry.

Jackie and I sat down together

in Atlanta, Georgia, to talk about her newest book, Holier than Now. In this conversation,

Jackie is going to share what she learned about studying the holiness of God and things like

how God's holiness actually makes him safe and trustworthy. His holiness means that he's someone

who, by his very character, won't ever betray you. We're also going to talk about how God's

holiness actually makes him good. In our culture today, a lot of people are really struggling

with that word goodness when it comes to how we view God

and what we know about him.

Jackie's book holier than now comes out this week and we'll link to it in our show notes

and at AuthenticInnocy.com.

We'll also link to a blog that I wrote called Have You Forgotten Who God is?

In Java, Italy, episode number 25 256, who is Jesus to you?

Which are both great follow-up resources to my conversation with Jackie.

Again, you can look for those in our show notes and at AuthenticInnovacy.com.

And one more little fun piece of news.

I also have a book coming out next month.

I totally rewrote my first book, which is called Finding the Hero and Your Husband.

And Jackie was kind enough to write the foreword for that book.
