Hey friend, welcome to Job With Julie, hosted by me Julie Slattery. Job with Julie is a listener-supported podcast,

and it's an outreach of a ministry called Authentic Intimacy, which is dedicated to helping you make sense of God and sexuality.

Well, pornography has been around for ages, but it can change in power and scope with new technologies.

We are now living in a time when pornography is not just pictures or video.

It's personalized and interactive and powered by artificial intelligence.

What feels like a personal connection can actually be a dangerous counterfeit,

and it's quietly reshaping

our ability to build trust and intimacy with real people. But here's the good news. There are Christians

all over the country who are bravely stepping into new conversations about sexual brokenness and

addiction. And my guest today are among them. Jonathan Dardy from Be Broken Ministries is with

me today. He is a favorite around here. And Joel Warnicking from 423 communities is making

his first appearance on job with Julie. Now these two men and their ministries are bringing hope

and healing to both men and women who've

online book studies is now open. Grab your spot today in one of our groups that are going through
