The dark side of "womb renting" isn't something many are willing to be honest about. But, women deserve to know the truth. We brought on expert Ericka...

Ep. 150 - When Kristen heard that Zack drank a beer while they were dating her jaw hit the floor. She was a staunch "no alcohol" girl and thought Zack was too (only a staunch no guy).

When it comes to LGBTQ people and conversations, how often do you engage as a Christian? The truth is, most of us have NO IDEA how to engage in these crucial conversations in a way that's loving, thoughtful, Biblical, and truthful. And so we don't. Our guest today is here to HELP US.

He's the type of Christian who actually invites LGBTQ people out to...

Ep. 146 - Enjoy this replay! Many Christian women wonder if being a virgin on their wedding night will be awkward. Saving sex for marriage sounds great, but is it really that great?

Ep 145 - Do evil men exist? Yes. Are all men toxic? No. We live in a society that actually hates strong men. "Toxic manhood" has become a buzzword that now encompasses all forms of male strength, leadership, and masculinity. The feminist movement promoted this mindset by declaring men as the primary source of women's oppression and unhappiness. And the battle rages today.   But is this what we want? A society without any masculine and strong men? Dr. Owen Strachan doesn't think so.  In fact,...

Ep 144 - Enjoy part two of this replay series. The history of "the birth control pill" is something most women are not familiar with. Most women simply listen to their Dr. (without question) when they're told to get on the pill for one reason or other.  Oral contraception has become the go-to for preventing pregnancy with little understanding of the potential negative health impacts to the woman taking it. We've brought on expert, Dr. Leah Gordon to talk all things birth control, oral...

Ep. 143 - Enjoy this replay episode. It was so good we had to bring it back. Have safe sex. Don't get pregnant. And build your career. That's the mantra women have been told from the time they were teen girls.

That's where Candice Watters comes in. She brings a perspective to family planning that...

Ep 140 - What does it mean to be a woman? Some have answered this question with a simple "an adult human female." Is that sufficient though? You were created to be uniquely different from a man. Every fiber in your body speaks to that reality.  You were made female on purpose and for a great purpose. Your gender speaks to God's beautiful calling in your life.

Ep. 138 - Barbie has overtaken the world with her pink outfits, blonde hair, and handsome low commitment fragile blonde boyfriend. The trailers and teasers captivated the world causing the movie to explode opening weekend. The movie was definitely packed with surprises...and not good ones.

In today's episode, Dav and Bethany unpack the...

Ep. 135 - Can you imagine being honored and rewarded for LIMITING the amount of children you have? This is the reality in America. Get this, "Prince Harry told British Vogue in 2019 that he and Meghan Markle would have two children maximum. Harry said it was an environmental choice, which was recognized by charity Population Matters. The couple were awarded $695 to give to a charity of their choice for their "enlightened decision." Is it really an enlightened choice to LIMIT having children?...

Ep. 133 -  While the Bible does not give a direct command on this subject, it does have a lot to say about marriage. Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman forever before God.

Ep. 132 - Masturbation is a topic that Christian women typically do not discuss. Sadly, the silence surrounding this topic has only confirmed in women's minds that, "I must be then only woman in the world struggling with this!" That is not truth though.

Ep. 131 - There’s a lie masquerading as truth that’s running rampant in our culture. It goes something like this: you are powerful enough to control your circumstances and create the life you want through positive thinking, solid planning, and dreaming big enough.

Ep. 129 - Target stores nationwide have fully embraced the gender confusion mania with their new "Take Pride" apparel line. I walked into a store this week to check things out for myself. I saw female-style swimsuits which offered a "tuck option" along with an extra wide crotch for biological males. I saw graphic tees geared toward teen girls featuring large print that said, "Busy thinking about girls." But the worst products by far were the rainbow colored BABY bibs and onesies with text...

Ep. 128 - A prominent conservative recently made some comments about porn that got everyone talking. Many started discussing whether viewing porn was an okay substitute for actually going out and cheating on (committing adultery) your spouse. Do men  need sexual variety and therefore need porn as a way to handle their sexuality well? Is porn an okay addition if you and your spouse have a committed relationship? Should you be thankful your husband is viewing porn rather than sleeping...
