#388 (Bonus) Single & Sexually Whole
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.

Customer Reviews
This is my education
I am thankful to have found this incredibly rich content on sexuality in a world that has gotten it all wrong. I am a mother, teacher, and coach and have watched the young women I’ve worked with and raised become confused by bad advice and ideology that leaves our creator God out of the picture. Thank you for these conversations that address tough questions and issues pointing to Jesus and biblical understanding of the beauty of sex and our sexuality. Your boldness and kindness has given me language and understanding to address these things in my life and work. You’ve given me courage to take on my own conversations with people I love, knowing I can listen better, provide more merciful guidance, and have the knowledge to back up what I’m thinking and saying. God bless you as you minister to the world about God’s design for sex and sexuality.
Life Changing Podcast!
Java with Juli is hands down my favorite podcast. It has completely revolutionized my view of God and sex. It has brought a healing in my life that I will be forever thankful for. Being able to tell Juli thank you in person is on my bucket list!
Truthful and compassionate
Like guest Julia Mitchell said, Juli and this podcast are truthful AND compassionate. That combination is so very difficult to find in people and content these days! Nearly impossible.
This podcast nurtures my heart, mind and soul as my faith is strengthened and encouraged. I am challenged in good ways and also learn practical ways to walk out discipleship.
Hearing the testimonies here reminds me that God is still at work, in mighty ways in the world around us.
Thank you Juli and AI team for making this podcast.
PS I was in Focus on the Family Institute in Spring 2008 and got to learn from Juli!
