| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Jabba with Julie. If you've been listening to the last few episodes of the podcast, |
| 0:08.7 | you'll know that we have been focusing quite a bit on issues related to singleness. Not just for those |
| 0:14.1 | of you who are single, but for all of us to just learn more about how to surrender our sexuality |
| 0:20.1 | to the Lord, how to encourage single friends, |
| 0:22.3 | how is a church body to have these conversations. And so that's one of our goals at authentic |
| 0:28.0 | intimacy. But the reason that we've really focused on singleness is because we have a new |
| 0:32.4 | resource available that has been a few years in the works and we're so excited to make it available to you now. |
| 0:39.4 | It is a Bible study called Sex and the Single Girl, and maybe as a married woman you've gone |
| 0:44.7 | through passion pursuit. We would say sex and the single girl is similar to the format of |
| 0:49.7 | passion pursuit, but addressing sexuality within the context of singleness. |
| 0:56.5 | So what we are going to show with you this week is a little bit different because as you've been listening in the last few weeks, |

| 1:07.6 | single men and women who have been married and they went through a divorce, |
| 1:12.2 | maybe they were widowed, and they're starting to wonder, should I date again, what does that |
| 1:17.7 | look like when I'm in my 40s or 50s or 60s? And so today's conversation is about single again. |
| 1:24.4 | And the two guests that are joining me today, one is Jim Burns, who is the executive |
| 1:28.8 | director of Homeward. It's an organization that seeks to bring the work of God into really |
| 1:34.7 | equipping families. And then Susan Mathis is a premarital mentor and advisor. She and her husband, |
| 1:42.1 | Dale, are involved in a second marriage. Both of them had been married before and have written pretty extensively on what their journey was like, but also giving advice on what that dating process looks like moving forward. |
| 1:55.7 | So get your cup of coffee and I hope you enjoy this conversation on Job with Julie. |
| 2:13.5 | Well, I've read a lot of books on dating and how to pick the one, but I think most of them are written to like kids. They're written to people 18 to 25 years old who are trying |
| 2:19.3 | to find that one. But the reality of it is a lot of people are dating and looking for spouses |
