Women struggle with porn too.

Have you ever experienced the fear and shame that follows the vortex of graphic movies, erotica, promiscuity, or porn sites? You may think you’re alone and feel like hiding. But you’re not alone—and there is hope and healing.

We are all sexually broken. And we are all invited to participate in the love, forgiveness, and healing of Jesus. The great joy and passion of Dr. Joy Skarka is calling women to God’s gracious power of redemption. 

Today we're chatting about her new book, Her Freedom Journey: A Guide Out of Porn and Shame to Authentic Intimacy.

Let’s be honest—pursuing purity while dating someone you’re seriously into can feel next to impossible. 

The butterflies are real, the chemistry is strong, and suddenly you’re wondering... is kissing too far? What about cuddling on the couch? Holding hands? Where's the line?!

Navigating physical boundaries in a dating relationship isn’t always black and white—and it can be so confusing. But here’s the thing: honoring God and each other is totally possible, even when the sparks are flying.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the struggles, the questions, and the practical steps that helped us set Christ-honoring boundaries and actually stick to them. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep it holy while falling hard, this one’s for you.

Is saving sex for marriage really worth it? Will the wedding night be totally awkward if we don’t "practice" first? And what about sexual compatibility—doesn’t that matter??

We’re two Christian sisters who made the choice to wait until marriage, and trust us—we’ve heard all the questions (and plenty of skeptical comments). So let’s have an open, honest, and totally unfiltered conversation about it.

After 6 and 14 years of marriage, do we regret waiting? If we could go back, would we do things differently? And were our wedding nights as awkward as everyone assumes? Let’s talk about it.

Ep. 197 - This is a replay. Let's be honest. Valentine's Day isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Regardless of what we see on the Hallmark Channel, rarely do things turn out that perfectly. In singleness, we often feel bummed because we don't have that special someone. Then in marriage, we often feel bummed because our special day isn't turning out to be as romantic as we'd imagined!

We can attest to feeling both of these ways. In today's episode, we're going to spill the beans and tell you about our worst and best Valentine's Days ever. Then, we're going to get honest about how we can all benefit from pursuing a more Christ-centered "Agape love" this Valentin'e Day and ditching the shallow version of "Hallmark Love."
