Hello, friends, and welcome back to another episode of Theology in The Raw. I have a really amazing guest on the show today. Dr. Julie Slattery has a doctorate in psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology.

She's a graduate of Wheaton College, Bialer University, and the author of 10 books, I think. Yeah, 10 books. She hosts a weekly podcast called Java with Julie. In fact I think yeah I was

a guest I think I was a guest on that podcast I think like six months ago and so Julie

she's been a really I mean a significant voice in conversations about sex, sexuality.

She, as you will hear, was kind of nurtured in the purity culture and now has some really healthy critiques of that

culture. She's the author of a recent book, well recent, it's two years old, called

rethinking sexuality, God's Design,

and why it matters.

We had a wonderful conversation about sex.

I mean, literally, that's all we talked about sex all the way from like female

sexuality from pornography from 50 Shades of gray and why some women are attracted to

cut a BDSM stuff.

And we talked about, I mean, loads of stuff.

We even towards the end, we talk about sexual abuse

and how to find healing from that.

So this was just, I mean, mean this was I could have talked to Julie

for for hours. She's super knowledgeable, super gracious, super wise and I just

find her to be just a partner in this really difficult conversation about sex

and sexuality. So yeah I hope you enjoy the show. If you are blessed or challenged by this show and you want to support the show, please go to
