48: Finding Freedom from P*ornography & S3xual Shame, Part 1, with Dr. Joy Skarka
It is possible to find freedom in Christ from s3xual shame and struggles like p*rnography. (Ladies listen up, because this isn’t a topic that only applies to men.) Too many women are living with s3xual shame and guilt. And for many that spirals into eating issues and negative self-talk. Dr. Joy Skarka joins me for this 2-part conversation and we begin with her story. She also shares relevant eye-opening statistics, what parents need to know, and what we all need to hear about salvation in these struggles. Friends, I know this is a difficult topic that many would like to avoid and might feel odd in a Christian setting (because we simply aren't used to that), but I pray you will listen, if only to see what Jesus has for you in this conversation.
In this episode, you will:
- Discover how we as parents can react in a more helpful way to our child’s curiosity about these topics.
- Learn some confronting statistics about adult website viewership, p*rnography exposure, and more.
- Uncover a first step you can take if you’re ready to heal from any kind of s3xual shame or struggle.
Please note that this episode contains topics such as s3xual assault, which may be sensitive for some listeners. The content is not graphic, but
