there's great healing but people tend to not want to deal with it to shove it down put it in the closet

not talk about it and think it'll just go away and it doesn't there's certain things you have to

work with work through with god and then that brings the healing.

Well, that's our heart at Authentic Innacy is to enter into the difficult spaces and really to bring you to the feet of Jesus Christ.

And in that spirit, let me just offer you a Merry Christmas as we get ready to celebrate

this season of Christ's birth.

And with me today to introduce our show as Hannah Nitz. Merry Christmas, Julie. Yeah, great to be with you again. I always love having

you on job with Julie. You name the date, Julie, and I'm there. Any day, anytime. I'm here.

Well, let me just let our listeners know that this podcast is a production of authentic intimacy, which is listeners supported.

And today we have a really great show.

We've pulled a show out from our archives with Francine Rivers.

I had the opportunity to interview her on her book, Redeeming Love.

And we're excited to let you know that her book that has impacted so many people

is actually being made into a movie that's going to be released in January. It's so exciting.

We've seen the trailer. It looks awesome. So many people who have been impacted by this book.

How exciting to be able to see it on the screen. Yeah. I feel like this is probably the only

fictional book I've ever talked about on Job with Julie

and interviewed a fiction author because the book, Redeeming Love, like, speaks so powerfully into

shame, into where's God in the midst of brokenness, particularly for women that are struggling

with issues of trauma and abuse from their past,

issues of self-worth.

And so this one book that I just can't highly recommend enough.
