In this episode, Whitney sits down with pureHOPE's Director of Training and Partnerships, Dan Martin. Dan is what we call the "parenting guru" at pureHOPE and they talk through a 3-fold strategy for parenting: Protect, Equip, and Model. 

This episode introduces this strategy and lays the groundwork to dive deeper in future episodes. So much of parenting is about protecting our kids but Dan says, "I would rather send equipped kids out into the world than protected kids..."

Parents, you have what it takes to not only protect from, but equip for! Find more parenting resource on our website at purehope.net/rersources.

In this episode, Josh has an honest conversation with Drew Boa, founder of the ministry Husband Material. Husband Material exists to help men outgrow porn. 

Drew shares his story of growing up in the church and "purity culture" but how he felt like he could not get away from, in his words, "using porn as a pacifier."

It wasn't until Drew shared his struggles in community with other men and they didn't run away in disgust, that he began to experience freedom and healing from his addiction and deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ.
