0:00.0 | Hey, friends. Welcome to Java with Julie hosted by me, Julie Slattery. Well, we've reached |
0:06.4 | the final special edition bonus episode of our seven week series, journeying through various |
0:11.8 | keystone topics around God, sex and intimacy. Throughout this series, we've intentionally |
0:17.0 | worked our way through some of the main questions that people come to us with. Questions about |
0:21.8 | marriage, singleness, talking to kids about sex, healing and trauma, and sexual intimacy. |
0:29.0 | Now on Monday, we heard from President Springgold, talking about his book, exploring what the |
0:33.6 | Bible says about same-sex marriage. And in today's conversation, we're going to go deeper |
0:38.1 | into the topic of knowing God's heart for our sexuality. A biblical sexual ethic can seem |
0:44.4 | cruel and unloving if we don't have an intimate relationship with God himself. My guest today, |
0:50.6 | Rachel Gilson, has wrestled with the scriptures to understand how God's love is actually |
0:55.5 | expressed in his created design for sexuality. Rachel is the same-sex-attracted woman who |

1:28.7 | for all of us, regardless of what we struggle with. So let's go ahead and join my conversation |
1:34.3 | with Rachel Gilson. I am in Boston with you, Rachel Gilson. I'm also in Boston with you, |
1:42.8 | I know. I feel like I know you because we've done a couple interviews through Zoom, but |
1:49.0 | this is the first time I got to see you in the flesh. It's the first time we really know |
1:53.4 | how tall each other are. I was wondering how tall you are. I know, it's true. You're kind |
1:56.9 | of short like me. Yeah, it was kind of about the same size. I meet people all the time |
