In Part 2 of this podcast episode, Jill and Treal continued the conversation on "Where Do We Draw the Line"...The intersectionality of church and the culture. How do believers embrace God's truth in a world of deception and confusion?

In particular, we discuss the pressure to conform to a fake standard of beauty resulting in self-rejection, attempts to gender transformation, and an obsession with cosmetic surgery, BBL, fashion and fabricated beauty.

Te'Aire Griffin, the Healher Coach, and Myeisha Green, Ministry Youth Leader joined us for this conversation.
