Sexual Discipleship

Guest: Juli Slattery

From the series: 25 Questions You Are Afraid to Ask (Day 2 of 3)

Bob: Has it ever occurred to you that sexual intimacy between a man and a woman—that was God’s idea and His design? Here is Dr. Juli Slattery.

Juli: I think that the average Christian couple can’t imagine God blessing anything sexual—where we see in the Song of Solomon that, actually, God is blessing this couple that is in the midst of sexual intimacy: “Eat friends. Drink. Imbibe deeply. Enjoy this, because I gave this to you as a gift. Even if you’ve got all kinds of things in your past, bring those before Me / lay them before Me; and I bless what you have today within the confines of marriage.”

Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Tuesday, October 25th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey. I’m Bob Lepine. The Bible has a lot to say about intimacy in marriage—a lot of good things—and we’re going to explore some of it today. Stay with us.

1:00

And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us. I think you were the first person I ever heard quote Howard Hendricks on the subject we’re talking about today. And the quote, if I remember it—you can correct me if I’m wrong—was—

Dennis: I will. [Laughter]

Bob: No—no doubt there. I think he said, “We should not be ashamed to discuss what God was not embarrassed to create.”
Dennis: That’s right. You nailed it.

Bob: That’s what we’re going to be doing today; right?

Dennis: We are going to discuss what God was not ashamed to create. In fact, I just want to read about it—here in Genesis, Chapter 1, verse 27: “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” I don’t understand it. I just know the Bible proclaims it. Somehow, our sexuality, as men and women, declares who God is to a planet that does not know Almighty God and all that He is about.

2:00

And I’ve got to tell you—over a lifetime, you just begin to explore what God is up to around this whole area of human sexuality.

Dr. Juli Slattery is going to help us unpack this today and provide all the answers with a book that she has written called 25 Questions You’re Afraid to Ask About Love, Sex, and Intimacy.

Juli: Wow!

Dennis: Wow is right.

Juli: All the questions—I don’t—

Dennis: Well, you actually chose to be on FamilyLife Today to discuss this.

Juli: This is obedience.

Dennis: I think it is. [Laughter] Juli has been married to her husband Mike since 1994. They have three sons. She is a clinical psychologist / authored a number of books.

I just want to talk about something that you discuss in your book. I’ve never heard this subject before; but I have to admit I really, really like this—you talk about the need for sexual discipleship. I love the concept because discipleship means training;—

3:00

Juli: Right.

Dennis: —it means equipping; it means helping someone know how to think about life. Now, you apply it, if you would, to the area of human sexuality.

Juli: Absolutely. You know, I grew up in a Christian family / in church. The best that I got was little pockets of sex education. The difference between discipleship and education is what you referred to, Dennis—is: “Do you know how to think biblically about God’s design for sexuality?”

Dennis: Give us an idea of one of those little pockets of truth you learned, growing up. Explain what you mean by that.

Juli: Sure. You’re told sex is wrong before marriage; and somehow, it is right after marriage: “Don’t do it before you get married. Don’t think about it. Don’t be sexual. But as soon as you get married, all of a sudden, this switch will flip, and you’re going to have fun.” So, that’s what we’re told.

The reality of it is—you are a sexual person before or if you never get married—

4:00

—you’re still a sexual person: “What do I do with that?” Then, once you get married—if you get married—it’s not like this switch will flip and then, all of a sudden, you know how to enjoy this. I experienced that as a Christian young woman. It was like the messages were so confusing. I would say, in the first decade of our marriage, “This area was not good”; and we didn’t know how to address it because we weren’t given the training.

Bob: I just have to say—I love the fact that your starting place for this conversation is—not how to counteract cultural messages or how to answer: “Well, what’s acceptable / what’s not acceptable?”—your starting place is: “Let’s think like God thinks about this subject. Let’s cultivate a biblical worldview and not just a limited, pocketed biblical worldview, where we know this is true and this is true; but we don’t see the big picture. Let’s get it all out on the table and understand it in a fully-orbed way.”

5:00

When you do that—now, all of a sudden, a lot of the questions that you have get answered by themselves; don’t they?

Juli: They absolutely do. What I’m seeing, in working with women, is that the average Christian woman has been discipled in many areas of her life—including her marriage—but she hasn’t been discipled in how to think about sexuality.

Bob: So, when you’re advocating sexual discipleship—the term that Dennis mentioned—how...
