Welcome to our SUMMER SERIES, where we are reposting our favorite episodes!

I know we said that LAST week was the LAST one in this series, but we just had to squeeze in ONE more!

This week, we are reposting one of our most listened-to episodes. Gracen was our guest on Episode #4: Having Sex Before Marriage Is No Big Deal, Right?

It takes a unique woman (and a unique husband) to open up about this topic, and Gracen shares insights other married women are often hesitant to share. Gracen offers both TRUTH and HOPE from her own experience.

If you regret the sexual decisions you've made, if you find it difficult to maintain sexual integrity, or if you just need some encouragement to trust God in this area, this is your episode!
