| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Java with Julie. I'm Julie Slattery and this listener-supported podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy and ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality. |
| 0:12.9 | Well, with me today is someone I love talking to Lisa Anderson, and Lisa has been on this podcast before. I always enjoy our conversations. |
| 0:22.6 | Lisa, you handle difficult conversations just with an authenticity and levity that just makes |
| 0:28.5 | this fun. |
| 0:29.0 | So thanks for being on Java again. |
| 0:31.1 | Well, I so appreciate being here and obviously I love what you do. |

| 1:35.2 | faith kind of stuff. It runs the gamut. And so, yeah, we're an arm around the shoulder for a lot of |
| 1:40.0 | folks. Yeah. And so the ministry boundless is particularly to young adults. Is that right? It's not |
| 1:45.6 | necessarily just singles, but young adults in general. Right. And, you know, sometimes people will say, |
