Listener Reviews

Truly Authentic
Love this raw , relevant, truly authentic, and ultimately rewarding podcast. Every episode helps challenges me in my daily walk.
Biblical world view
I loved this episode on Grace based marriage. I really needed to hear this today and am asking God to help me see my marriage in light of the gospel.
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!
Wonderful resource
I can’t tell you how many times I have recommended this podcast to friends. It is so refreshing to hear these difficult and sometimes spicy topics discussed through a biblical lense. I’ve got young kids and I know I will be coming back to many episodes as my kids grow. Juli is like a calm, wise light in the dark. Thank you.
Full of empathy and compassion
A friend sent me this podcast in light of some issues we each were helping our children through. It’s hard to imagine that was over a year ago as this has become one of my most consistently listened to podcasts. What I love about Java with Juli is how they approach the difficult topics with humility, compassion and empathy. And always with an eye on Gods truth and seeking his wisdom in all topics.
Wonderful podcast
So thankful I found this podcast to dive deeper into various topics. Thank you for keeping every conversation so biblically based.
So good…almost always
I have been so helped by much of what Juli shares, but her episode on why women are leaving the church was just way off in my opinion. I did not agree with her guest’s perspective at all and thought it was quite liberal. When Juli stays in her lane, she is spot on. This episode - not so much.
Sexuality, relationships, theology
Great podcast with Dr. Juli which challenges thinking and isn’t afraid to shy away from having and asking difficult questions. She will even acknowledge that life can get messy and sometimes there are no easy, pat answers but we instead need to wrestle with Scripture and love people as God loves. It is a highlight of my week and a must-listen in my weekly activities.
Well done!
I’m a therapist who also believes in sound Biblical truth. It means a lot to hear discussions about sex, intimacy and marriage that I can trust Juli’s perspective. I trust her humble wise counsel on these issues that can have much controversy. I don’t trust everybody with this topic. Juli shares information and interviews guests that helps process through this important topic. It helps my practice as well as my personal life. Thank you, Juli!
Tough choices, great conversation.
Trusted voices speaking on the style of life God asks followers of Christ to live. It’s about forgiveness.
Amazing
The episode today was amazing…. I needed this. Love the podcast!
Great Podcast
This is one of my favorite podcasts because it is honest and willing to have needed conversations. I love how Juli, who is uber qualified to talk about all these things, is seeking the right answers along with her listeners, not just sharing expertise. Give it a try!
No filters
I love Java with Julie! I appreciate the honesty and nothing is off limits. This podcast has helped me know how to deal with the topics that have been too taboo. Truly a ministry for healing everyone needs to hear.
Eye opening and challenging
Juli’s most recent interview about women and porn was very eye opening.Learning to deal with the healing and not just behavior modification was perfect. As a pastors wife I see so many families and individuals only trying to change the behavior and not deal with the why behind the sin. Thank you for honesty and the transparency you bring to this podcast.
Thank you!
I really appreciate the biblical, practical, fact based, and LOVING information that is presented here. I have read 2 of Dr. Juli’s books and love listing to this podcast as she explores topics that have traditionally been ignored or viewed in extremely black and white terms by the Church at large. Thank you for your heart to serve the body of Christ through this ministry!
Thoughtful, sensitive, educational, and dynamic
Appreciate the diversity of voices speaking with grace on a host of challenging topics. Thankful.
Brand new listener
Love the content so much. Christians have a lot to learn in the area. Also...understand the "coffee shop" vibe but the talking in the background is a little distracting. 🙃
Refreshing, loving Truth for both believers and nonbelievers
I started listening to this podcast about 3-4 years ago. I was a student in college and found myself feeling a lot of pressure from outside groups to “get a boyfriend.” It felt like most people were more interested in the boys I would find at college j stead of the knowledge I would find. As a believer, I started to have doubts about who I was to God if I wasn’t wanting to be a married woman. My parents had an awful marriage that left me feeling very jaded about relationships in general. This podcast has been so helpful and comforting to me in so many ways. It affirmed me - no it rejoiced me in my singleness. It reminded me of all the scripture I had grown up hearing that praised singleness. At the same time, it removed or softened those jaded pieces of my heart from my parents marriage. This prepared me as God did plan for me to be in relationship. I got married just this last year and there are many obstacles that I have overcome just through listening to this podcast and hearing information that no one else is talking about in bulk. As many of you know, being a newlywed can be troublesome with the sexual intimacy part, add in that I never had a mother to instruct me on the simplest of lady matters and I could have been lost really fast. This podcast has been exactly what I have needed in my life at this time. Gods timing could not have been more perfect and Juli does an amazing job of not only being a comforting voice in the midst of strife but a truthful voice. This podcast leads you to reflection first not rejection and that’s huge in todays world. Thanks for sticking to God’s plan Juli, it’s changed my life.
Listen- You need this podcast in your life!
This is the best podcast! God has continuously used this ministry to bring me into a closer relationship with Him. Please listen-the hope and healing power of Jesus is available to you too-no matter what you’ve experienced. Join us!
Blessings
Julie and her guests bless me with biblical wisdom every time I listen. So thankful I found this podcast.
Truth About God’s Design for Sexuality
In a world that is feeding us so many lies about sexuality, Dr. Juli allows God to speak through her to share truth in love. I look forward to hearing this podcast every week. Java with Juli is a podcast that I use personally as well as share often with others including my counseling clients. I cannot thank Juli and her guests enough for the wisdom they share through this podcast!
Continues to bless me
Java with Julie continues to bless me. I’ve been listening to the podcast for quite a few years now. I listen in every Monday as I’m driving around. The truths I’m learning have changed how I view sexuality and really educated me in so many areas. I’m excited to be able to share these things with my kids and friends. So thankful for this teaching!
