Ep 094 - The two of us found ourselves without children for all of our thirties. That gave us plenty of time to focus on Girl Defined Ministries and all that running a non-profit entails. The past two years changed all of that though. We both became mothers and our lives suddenly looked very different. We wondered, "How can we balance both motherhood and running a ministry?"
 
 It's been a journey of figuring it out. Here's what we've learned so far and how we balance it during this season of motherhood.

Ep. 093 - This wildly popular episode is back for a much needed replay. Dr. Rosaria Butterfield was an English professor at Syracuse University, specializing in queer theory, lobbying for LGBTQ+ groups, was in a committed lesbian relationship and living the life she thought would bring her true happiness. Until the day she was confronted with the true gospel of Jesus Christ. In an effort to prove Christianity wrong, Dr. Rosaria read through the Bible seven times looking for flaws and issues with the Word. 

The opposite happened though. Through the love of other believers and the power of the Holy Spirit, Rosaria’s heart was changed. In today’s episode, you’ll hear Rosaria’s testimony and the truth of the gospel that set her free and changed her life forever.

Ep. 091 - What is the deal with Drag Queens? It's like they've tripled in numbers over the past few years and have taken front and center on the stage. Even parents are taking their young children to hear drag queens read children's books.... and watch them twerk. This is NOT okay. Drag Queens are an insult to women and a complete mockery of God's design for womanhood.

In today's episode, we're unpacking the many reasons why Christians should reject Drag Queens and take a bold stance against this movement.

Ep. 090 - This wildly popular episode is back for a much needed replay. If you’re a girl or woman who has struggled with any sort of lustful sin habit, you’re not alone. Millions of Christian women (single and married) are facing similar temptations every day. And by God’s grace, many of them are finding freedom and victory over their struggles! I (Kristen) am going to be very open and transparent in this post because I want you to know that Christ has the power to help us overcome our sin and to find lasting victory.

In today's episode, I'm going to share my story of struggle with masturbation and offer you the biblical truths that I believe can set any woman free.

Ep. 089 - It's time for a VERY exciting announcement. Many of you have followed my life journey here on Girl Defined. I started out talking about singleness and how to thrive in that season of life. I then took you on my dating and engagement journey with my now husband Dav. Motherhood followed shortly after marriage and you were right there with me. Sadly, three miscarriages came after that.

Today, I get to share some amazing news with you. I am twenty weeks pregnant with my sweet baby GIRL! Jump into today's episode for all of the details.

Ep. 088 - Modesty is one of those topics that most Christians won't touch with a 10ft pole. It's controversial. It's divisive. It's confusing. It's just hard to talk about.  We get it. That's why we haven't talked about it much over the past few years either. That all changes today though. We're jumping back in the deep and going there. We're having the hard conversation.

Don't worry. We're not giving a list of "rights and wrongs" or "do's and don'ts." We're going deeper. We're talking about the heart. We're talking about the gospel. We're talking about when clothes were invented.

Today's conversation is one you don't want to miss.

Ep. 087 - You read that right. A man has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. This is a huge honor and one any biological woman would be honored to receive. But... no. There isn't room for real women any more. Men have entered the scene and they are taking over. They are literally erasing women before our eyes.

In today's show, we're discussing the sad story of Lia Thomas. A Biological man who recently transitioned into a "woman" and is now competing in women's sports. Many women (including his teammates) are outraged. And for good reason.

Let's unpack this from a biblical worldview.

Ep. 086 - Lust isn't a guy problem. It's a human problem. That means that Christian women struggle with sexual sin as well. Yes, Christian women struggle with addiction to porn. You may find yourself viewing porn on a regular basis and wondering if it's okay. You may find yourself viewing porn and desperately wanting freedom.

Maybe you're not struggling at all, but you want a more biblical view of sex and your sexuality.

In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the dangers and harms of porn. We're also unpacking practical ways women can find lasting freedom. This episode is hope-filled and one every woman can benefit from listening to.
