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.
But if you’ve ever tried to control your life or to strive your way to self-fulfillment, you’ve discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment when things don’t go your way.
In today's episode, Tara Sun explores why the quest for control is overrated—not to mention downright dangerous—and reveals the surprising, life-giving alternative: radical surrender to God.

Ep 126 - Many married women find themselves having intercourse with their husband physically, but they're a million miles away in their minds.
God, Sex, and Your Marriage
Sexual temptation doesn't disappear when you get married. The lustful heart that was there before marriage is the same lustful heart that goes into marriage. This isn't a comfortable or easy topic. Opening up about sinfully lusting and fantasizing about other men isn't easy.
Let's jump into this uncomfortable but needed conversation.

Ep 124 - The content subscription platform OnlyFans exploded in popularity during the pandemic. Many college aged girls found themselves home from school, out of work and desperate for money. This new London based platform promised easy money for sexy pics. Many young women decided to jump in and give it a go.
Sadly, OnlyFans takes most creators MUCH further than they ever imagined they'd go. Many promising to never post nudes found themselves needing to post x-rated content to make ends meet. Let's unpack the negative impact this has had on many modern women.

Ep. 117 - Have you been wrestling with a specific sexual sin and can't seem to break free? No matter how hard you pray or read your Bible, the sin persists? As a Christian woman, this can feel extremely discouraging. You might even begin to doubt if freedom is possible. If that's you (or someone you know), then this episode is for you!
Although sin is strong...Jesus is stronger! Don't give up hope. Jesus wants freedom and victory for you. His power is made perfect in our weakness. By His grace, you can walk the path of freedom from sexual sin.

Many Christian single women wonder if they have the gift of singleness. If marriage hasn't happened yet... maybe singleness is God's calling on your life. This is a legit line of thinking and one that deserves good/biblical answers.
Join Kristen and Bethany as they bring clarity to this confusing conversation.

Ep. 104 - Christian women often feel extremely uncomfortable talking about sex. It seems there is an unspoken rule to keep everything super "hush-hush." This is ridiculous. Most women have big questions about sex and we (as Christians) should be the first to talk about this area of life. God designed sex. There should be no shame in trying to understand the ins-and-outs of His good design.
In today's episode, we're unpacking your biggest questions about sex & intimacy (all from a biblical worldview).

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. 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.

You've likely heard the statistics or the stories of how young Christians who go off to a secular college or university end up losing their faith. On this episode of Apologetics Profile we talk with Pastor Rich Day who shares his ministerial experiences and engagement with both Christian and non-Christian students on secular campuses. Pastor Rich gives us insights and practical helps as to how we can engage students of all beliefs who have doubts about God.
Rich Day is the lead pastor at Lakeview Baptist Church (LakeviewBaptistTallahassee.com) in Tallahassee, Florida. In addition to his pastoral duties, he is also the Director of Ratio Christi at Florida State University (FSU), the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at the local community college and Regional Director for The Great Exchange. Pastor Day was recently awarded a Doctor of Ministry degree in Apologetics and Executive Administration from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (www.NOBTS.edu) where he also graduated with his MDiv. and MA.

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.
