Java with Juli ® Podcast

Do you struggle with being single? Maybe you've been rethinking that 21-point list of "non-negotiable" qualities you need in a spouse?

In this episode, Lisa Anderson brings the stories and lessons learned from her own journey as a single Christian woman. She'll talk about the impact culture had on her approach to dating, offer her thoughts on realistic expectations when looking for a spouse, and remind us that both grief and celebration are a part of the deal.

Pull up a chair, grab your Java, and share some laughs with a friend who is walking right alongside you.

After sexual infidelity, how do you know when to start having sex again? Recovery is layered, complex, and different for every couple. (And let’s be honest: historically, the Church has not ministered well here.) In this Java with Juli, learn what a healthy recovery process looks like for a grieving wife and why sex and intimacy need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

Couples will try to go back to having sex the way they always have had sex [prior to betrayal]. And I think they have to understand that they’re creating something completely new – just like their marriage. -Lyschel Burket

When it comes to sexuality, can you explain why you believe what you believe? Does God’s "one man and one woman" design for sexuality feel like a barrier to sharing your faith with others? God talks about sex throughout the Bible, how come it is (and has been) so hard for us to talk about it?  In this Java with Juli, you’ll hear why we struggle to answer today’s questions about sexuality, yet how sexuality, in this moment in history, can actually be a bridge to sharing the gospel.
