And I was all prepared to share about sexuality from a clinical psychologist perspective,

but I also was going to share some of the struggles that I've had in my own life.

And I was so nervous as I got on stage and I looked at these women.

And I began to speak about sexuality and the women were completely quiet,

which made me feel even more nervous.

And they're not saying anything, they're just looking at me.

And I had this silent prayer life going with the Lord, and I'm like, God, I'm so sorry, I must have heard you wrong.

I'll never speak about sex again.

Little did I know. Welcome to a special episode of Java with Julie. I'm not

Julie. I'm Mike Slattery, Julie's husband. Java with Julie is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to

reclaiming God's design for sexuality. And authentic intimacy is celebrating its 10th anniversary this

year, and the theme of our anniversary

celebration is Psalm 66. Shout for joy to God, all the earth. Come and see what God has done,

his awesome works for mankind. And this week, we're doing just that. Authentic Emacy was founded

in July of 2012. But to start our story, we're going to have to go back to 2011, when Julie was at her dream job, co-hosting Focus on the Family Daily Broadcast and teaching at the Focus Institute.

A question for you ladies. You know what it's like to be married to your husband, but what do you think

it's like to be married to you? Here's Authentic Inmacy co-founder, Linda Dillo. After I'd written

what's it like to be married to me, which is a book on marriage, Julie interviewed me, and I didn't

know Julie. And you know, Dr. Julie asks good questions.

So she asked me about that book that no interviewer had asked me before and I was so impressed.

And the guest we have is Linda Dello and she's written a book called What's It Like to

be married to me?
