What it is
Clinical psychologist Juli Slattery founded Authentic Intimacy after concluding that the sexual pain and confusion she saw everywhere was going unaddressed in the church. The output is broad: the Java with Juli podcast, regular video Q&As, online book studies, small-group curriculum, published books, hot-topic kits, a blog, and a community platform where members can talk with each other. What distinguishes it from most purity material is the frame — Slattery teaches a positive theology of sexuality and then works outward to the hard questions, rather than starting from prohibitions. It speaks to a wider set of people than most resources in this directory: married couples, singles, teens, abuse survivors, and women whose questions have never had a safe place to be asked. Podcast and blog are free; courses and curriculum are paid.
