Joined by educator and youth counselor, Tevera Stith, Keith and Kiana explore these questions and the mixed messages that make the decision to have sex, complicated.

In the recent years the word toxic has been used to fuel everything from politics to pop culture. But what about our personal lives? There are a lot of factors to consider when exploring the topic, from determining when a relationship is no longer healthy, to what to do, and even when, to leave a toxic situation. These questions can be even more confusing when the toxic relationship is in the context of a romantic relationship or marriage. This week, Keith, Kiana, and Ellyce delve into what constitutes as toxic behavior, balancing personal experiences with how to handle toxic situations, and how the church can play a supportive role to the community in such circumstances.
