Dr. Juli Slattery presents a compelling case that sexuality was intentionally created by God to be a metaphor teaching us about His covenant love. I interviewed Juli for a seminary class, but the content was such that I'm eager to share this interview with all of you on Substack. Juli explains what's behind the metaphor, talks about why a biblical narrative of sex is critical, describes what that biblical narrative consists of, why she prefers the term "sexual integrity" over "sexual purity," and the markers of a healthy sexual discipleship in the local church. I've read more books on Christianity and sex than I can count--Juli's books stand out, offering fresh content and paradigm shifting perspectives.
For the record, this interview was recorded long before the Josh Butler controversy erupted online. This conversation is in response to Juli's books and seminars, nothing else.
