Summary

If God made you sexual and you’re single, what are you supposed to do with your sexual desires?

It’s true that the path to sexual integrity for the single believer has long been a rocky one. When a Christian man or woman experiences attraction and rising hormones, is he or she supposed to ignore or suppress their sexuality? Or is there more to being a sexual being than we’ve previously given thought to?

In this special edition bonus episode, Juli is joined by the late Dr. Doug Rosenau, and they discuss different types of sexuality, the priority people place on them, and what we’re supposed to do when we experience desire.

Guest: Dr. Doug Rosenau

0:00.0	Hey, friend. Welcome to this bonus episode of Java with Julie hosted by me, Julie
0:05.9	Slattery. As always, this is a listener-supported podcast and it's an outreach
0:10.9	of the Ministry of Authentic and Emicy. Now, this special edition bonus episode is
0:15.5	part of our new journey with you going through the various keystone topics

0:33.8	back to a conversation that I had with Dr. Doug Rosenel before he passed away in
0:38.6	2022. Now, this is truly a fascinating and practical conversation about what it
0:44.1	means to be sexual and single as a committed Christian. You're going to hear
0:48.8	Doug explain candidly about the difference between our social sexuality and
0:53.2	our erotic sexuality. This is a paradigm shift that I know will be encouraging
0:58.7	and life-giving to you and it will give guidance on how single Christians can
1:03.0	be fully sexual by honoring God. Let's head to the coffee shop for my conversation
1:08.2	with Dr. Doug Rosenel. Well, I know that one of your passions is what you
1:15.4	call sex positivity for the church. Yes. Can you start by even defining what
1:20.1	does that mean? I think I've come into it more because I've always had a
1:26.6	passion for single sexuality and letting singles be whole. And what I found so
1:33.6	often in the church is that sex has been defined more by the behaviors we don't
1:41.4	do, which to me is sex negative Christianity. Both defining sexual integrity, our
1:49.0	sexual chastity simply by behaviors rather than making it more of a heart-mind
1:55.1	thing. And I just feel that that has permeated the church forever. Going clear
