Hey friend, welcome to another episode of Java with Julie.

And this is a listener-supported podcast, an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry designed to reclaim God's design for sexuality.

And today is a special episode because there we go.

We've got the music who announces my my co-host today hannah nits

hey guys yeah and why is it special hannah julie because you have been doing an episode a podcast called

java with julie for 10 years isn't that crazy one decade of java with. Yeah, it's crazy. That means we're old.

Really does? I know. When you hit 10 years of doing anything, you are definitely an adult. So

congratulations. I'm an adult several times over. Ten years of a podcast. Yeah. Man. I know. And you

think back 10 years ago, I think a lot of people didn't

even know what a podcast was. That sounds like you're exaggerating, but you're really not. I remember

10 years ago, the podcast just launched, and I would travel with you during your events and your

speaking engagements. And from stage, I would say,

if you guys are enjoying this today, if you're enjoying the teaching, if you're enjoying the

conference, buckle up, you can listen to it every week on a podcast. And I would say, if you don't

know what a podcast is, come find me afterwards and I'll help you put it on your phone. And every time, over half the people in the room didn't know what a podcast was. Wow. Doesn't seem. Yeah, that's crazy. That makes us sound old. So yeah, back when job what Julie started, people didn't even know. And now look at it. I know. Fastest growing median. I know. It's crazy. Now everybody has a podcast. You have a podcast.

I got a podcast.

Everyone's got a podcast.

Uh-huh. Yep. If you've got an idea and a microphone, you got a podcast. But Julie, you've been podcasting for 10 years. And I'm going to add, there's a lot of podcasts out there, but not a lot that lasts for 10 years. and not a lot who have the consistent, loyal, incredible listeners that Job with Julie does. They don't miss an episode. You drop it, they're listening. It's so fun. That's pretty exciting. I love that. For 10 years. I know. It's crazy. So congratulations. Well, thank you. Yeah, it's just waking up every day and doing what's in front of me.

Here we are.

Yeah.

So 10 years ago, how did it start?

Because the ministry of authentic intimacy, if you all remember, we celebrated last year the 10-year anniversary of authentic intimacy.
