Episode Description

When the Church avoids the hard conversations, people stay bound in silence.

In this raw and transparent episode of the adJUSTments Podcast, host Justmic sits down with Christian artist Dezzy Yates to pull back the curtain on hidden sin, early life trauma, and the internal battles many believers face in private. This isn't just a talk about behavior; it’s a deep dive into how unaddressed struggles shape our identity, faith, and purpose.

Through personal testimony, we explore why surface-level changes aren't enough and why true freedom requires addressing root issues through confession, accountability, and a deepening intimacy with Christ.

In a world that glorifies hookup culture and downplays intimacy, how do we reclaim our souls from the damage of sexual desensitization? In this raw and honest episode of adJUSTments, host Justmic sits down with Dezzy Yates to confront the emotional, spiritual, and cultural fallout of distorted sexuality and the soul ties it creates.

From abuse in school settings to the subtle ways culture reshapes how we view the body, identity, and intimacy, this conversation sheds light on the quiet crisis many face. Through confession, repentance, and real talk, Justmic and Dezzy walk us toward healing through Christ, breaking down what it means to treat the body as sacred, to seek emotional restoration, and to find true satisfaction in relationship with God.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to freedom, purity, and purpose.
