The final report of the investigation into Ravi Zacharias was published, and it wasn’t good. In fact, it was scathing. For many, this week, a hero fell. I’ve been following this story since the accusations first came to light last fall. Ravi’s ministry had a great impact on my husband’s…

Pornography on Lockdown: Facing Your Internal Triggers
In the last post, I talked about finding your triggers. This is something I personally feel is really important to a continued walk in freedom from things like pornography, lust, and even masturbation. I started my freedom journey 16 years ago (yes, I feel old) and I still have to…

When I speak to others about female porn use in the church, I’m always quick to point out what I call a “generational schism.” If you took a cross-section of today’s women, from ages 13-50, you would see an exponential increase in pornography use. The 50 year old women in…
