Hey friend, welcome to Java with Julie. I'm Julie Slattery and as we're closing out 2025, we're bringing back one of our most popular episodes of this year. It's a conversation I had with my good friend and expert, Dr. Dan Allender, about the emotional baggage that we bring into our marriages.

And this might be a conversation that you missed when we originally dropped it this

summer. If so, I'm excited for you to listen to it. But if you've heard it, this is a

conversation you want to hear again because there are so much rich truth packed into it.

Job with Julie, this podcast is an

outreach of authentic intimacy, which is an organization that is dedicated to helping you make sense

of God and sexuality. And as you listen to this podcast, you might have noticed that you don't

have to skip through any ads. And that's because Jobba with Julie exists because of the generosity of listeners who want

other people to experience hope and healing, like this listener who left us a review on Apple

podcasts.

I woke up this morning feeling so sad and desperate for hope about my marriage.

I sat at my desk and listened to the latest episode, and I had such a change of heart.

First, I didn't feel so alone when reminded that all couples have problems.

Yes, even Christian couples.

Next, there was real biblical advice for how I could be the change in my marriage.

Friend, this is just one example of how God is using this podcast.

Every time you give, you help create more moments like this one.

And it doesn't stop there.

It flows into their home, their relationships, and their faith.
