In this Q&A video, Juli shares advice on reconciling relationships with LGBT+ friends and loved ones.

We live on opposite sides of the US and we rarely see or talk to each other. How do I start having meaningful conversations with him about the topic—or do I?

    Thank you for this excellent advice. My first calling as a Christian is to love others - not to judge them and their lives and their choices. I'm called to simply love my atheist brother. And my new-ish insight is that I am called by God to love and accept my lesbian wife as God loves and accepts her as she is.

Dear Juli, My journey with fighting sexual temptation has been long and exhausting. I'm at a point where I know I'm not perfect. I'm going to fail sometimes. So how do I respond after I masturbate? Or watch porn? Or commit some other sexual act that I didn't want to? No matter your sexual struggle, we are all on a stumbling journey toward sexual integrity. In this video, Juli offers biblical insight to help you embrace God’s forgiveness, and shares practical things you can do to understand what's happening in your mind in those moments before temptation becomes overwhelming.
