  • Juli is a phenomenal interviewer

    I’m a relatively new subscriber who came from hearing Juli on another podcast but I have SOO enjoyed listening to her own podcast. She brings on wonderful guests and together they share amazing insight, but what really blows me away is her interviewing skills. She is always asking amazing questions, which is a skill I am wanting to grow in. You can tell she’s always listening deeply and thoughtfully to her guests and they pick up on it!! I just wanted to honor her for that. Keep up the great wo... more

  • Birth control episode

    do yourself a favor and skip this episode. Otherwise, This show is great and Juli and most of her guests are wonderful!! The guest on this particular one is rude and bigoted and unbiblical. He has clearly taken the Bible out of context and conveniently ignored God’s character to pleasure his own desire to demean and control women. That might be a bit unfair, but wow, his views are the reason why so many of my friends have deconstructed their faith and left the church. Jesus wants and intimate re... more

  • Relieved

    I couldn’t be any more enthusiastic about finding and hearing solid, and biblical, relationship teachings concerning such a historically “taboo” topic…..I myself believe that God created sexual intimacy, and even designed it, to glorify Him in and through a loving marriage. Thank you for being so brave and bold to shine THE LIGHT.

  • Birth control?

    Yes he’s passionate and there is a lot of truth, but I think he was also rude. He mentioned several times the word of God in its fullness and its mystery. Col 1:27 says this mystery is “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” not procreation.

  • Birth Control Episode

    Screaming! Haha I’ve never screamed at the radio during your podcast before. Is Juli allowed to speak on her own podcast?? Talking about self control, yet he has zero in the conversation! Juli, he didn’t let you push back. Not a single time. This left me very frustrated. Gahhhh! lol. Love Juli with Java so much! She’s a Saint! My favorite podcast ever. Just a very frustrating episode I guess, but she handled with grace.
