According to Dr. Julie Slattery, the solution to tough sexual struggles needs to go deeper than just the surface band-aid fixes.

Modern-day approaches to sexuality within the church have been shifting more towards a problem-solving mentality, which is how do we get rid of porn use?

How do we keep our singles from sleeping around? How do we address

the problem issues? It's behavior control. Discipleship trains you how to think about all

sexual issues. It gives you a framework so you're walking out. How do I follow Jesus related to

my sexuality? This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of Lies Young

Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free.

For June 6th, 2023, I'm Dana Gresh.

Before we begin today, if you have a younger listener with you, know that we'll hear mature content on this episode.

Nancy and I are in a conversation with Dr. Julie Slattery about sexual discipleship.

If you missed yesterday's program, be sure to go to revive our hearts.com

or the Revive Our Hearts app to hear the first part of this interview. Here's Nancy.

Well, we're taking several days this week to talk about a subject we don't talk about often enough

in the church or on this program. It relates Julie Slattery to your book

Rethinking Sexuality, God's Design, and Why It Matters. Did you ever think you would be the

author of books on this subject or the one to be? No, neither did my three sons. So they don't.

They probably love it. Oh, mom wrote another book on sex. They don't. When their friends come up to them, they don't. No, they don't. They don't.

When their friends come up to them, they're like, my mom said that your mom talks about sex all the time.

Poor kids.

But you found that it's really important.

And God's using you, Julie, in a significant way through your writing, through your speaking, through your ministry, authentic intimacy.

I love that.
