Do you ever feel alone in your struggle with porn addiction? Are you wondering if there's any hope of breaking free from the stronghold that lust has over your life? If you’re wrestling with this secret sin behind closed doors, Sis, you’re not alone. Pornography and lust can be used by the devil to steal, kill, and destroy. As it says in Revelation 12:1-12, “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” 
And my special guest, Emily Robbie Smith, is here with her powerful testimony on a topic that many of you may have experienced in your own lives. 


Emily Robbie Smith has been incredibly open about her testimony in this arena with her followers on Instagram and on TikTok. There's something to be said about the women of God who do not shy away from difficult conversations. Ready? Let’s dive in.


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Emily Robbie Smith:


how porn is sexual immorality

fasting and breaking off strongholds

practical tips to guard your heart and eyes

advice for dealing with porn addiction

Have you ever thought that you found “the one,” only to find out they were afraid of commitment? Or maybe he was an unbeliever and you thought that you could be the one to “fix him” and lead him to Christ. Perhaps you’ve met a man who checks all the boxes – he has a walk with the Lord, a career, is good-looking and shows interest in you – but he doesn’t pursue you. 


Society has completely flipped the relationship between a man and a woman upside down. So in this episode we're talking all things dating, all things men, and why guys – even the men of God – are so afraid of commitment. 


My special guest, Branson, is someone who has been a little brother to both myself and to Jordan for the last few years. When I say that he is wise beyond his years, y'all! When he speaks, he demands respect in the most Christ-like way. I'm sure a few of you have seen his videos go viral on TikTok and on Instagram, he just has so much to say and it's so good. 


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Branson aka Tre Valley:


why Godly men are so afraid of commitment

the fear of rejection

dating a non-believer

how men have become indistinguishable from God-like men

Do you find it hard to be courageous as a Christian in the times we're living in? More and more people are bowing to the opinions of others and to woke-culture instead of bowing to the cross. I get that standing up and using your voice makes you vulnerable to backlash, but guess what? Jesus Himself said, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." With that topic in mind, I cannot think of a more perfect guest to have on for today's episode than Pastor Russell Johnson.


Pastor Russell Johnson was born and raised in Seattle and though he spent the first part of his adult-life working in politics, God had other plans. In the summer of 2014, Pastor Russell and his wife, Marija, stepped out in faith to start The Pursuit. Their church started in a barn with no indoor plumbing, no heat, and broken windows, but God was up to something. 


In 2018, Pastor Russell and Marija purchased a former department store building and began a full-scale remodel, converting the space into a multi-use church, preschool/childcare facility, and outreach center. The Pursuit is a place where anyone can belong, everyone can contribute, and anything can happen.


In this episode, Pastor Russell Johnson and I talk about how the pandemic exposed backwards values, that cancel culture is only going to get worse, and how a little courage goes a long way.


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Pastor Russell Johnson:


being courageous as a christian in today's culture

fighting back against cultural pressure

how God is working in churches around the world

Have you ever thought about becoming a foster parent? Do you feel that you have a calling in life? Is it something the Lord stirred in your heart sporadically? My guest in this episode, Jamie C. Finn, has been a great sounding board for my husband and me in our season of foster parenting, and she shares the most incredible perspectives on the foster care system and foster parenting.


Jamie C. Finn is the founder and executive director of Foster the Family, the author of Foster the Family, and a highly sought-after speaker for retreats, conferences, and events for foster and adoptive parents. She is also the founder and owner of Goods and Better. 


Jamie's social media platforms provide a glimpse into life as a foster parent, as well as inspiration and encouragement to thousands of foster parents. Jamie lives in New Jersey, with her husband, Alan. And at any given moment, is a mother to four to six children, including her two biological children and two children adopted through foster care.


In this episode, Jamie C. Finn and I talk about how she and her husband became foster parents to 30 children, how God has used the foster care process to teach them, and advice for those considering fostering children.


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Jamie C. Finn:


the mission behind Foster the Family

***Trigger Warning*** 


Today, we are going to be talking about abortion and other sensitive topics, such as miscarriage and rape — so if this is something you’re not ready to hear about, please feel free to exit out of this podcast and join us in the next episode.


Would you consider yourself a Christian who supports both abortion and women's rights? Perhaps you or someone you know only believes in abortion in extreme cases. I can't think of a topic more polarizing than abortion. My guest in this episode, Lila Rose, has been called the “messenger in chief of the pro-life movement” by Vice News and “the face of the millennial anti-abortion movement” by the Atlantic. And today, we are diving into this controversial discussion headfirst.


Lila Rose is a writer, speaker, and activist who founded and serves as president of Live Action, a human rights organization with the largest online impact among pro-life and pro-abortion groups. She has devoted her life to ending abortion and making America a more welcoming place to raise a family. Lila speaks internationally on family and cultural issues. She has addressed members of the European Parliament and has spoken at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Lila is a wife, a mother, and the author of “Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change In A Wounded World.”


In this episode, Lila and I are going to be talking about abortion, being pro-life as a Christian, and what God's Word says about this. 


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Lila Rose:


it's never right to intentionally take a child's life

taking a child’s life is not a medical treatment

there are medical treatments and ways to care for both mother and child

Maybe you think that social media influencers don’t have a “real career”? Or maybe you perceive us as people who have the luxury of sleeping in, scrolling/posting all day, then clocking out early to go shopping. On the flip side, you might be under the impression that God cannot use social media influencers for His glory. But today I’m here to share that these assumptions couldn't be further from the truth…


I recently posted a question box on my Instagram stories and asked people to give their thoughts on influencers; you guys did not hold back! In this episode, I answer your questions and bust myths around what social media influencers actually do.


Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode:


- how social media became my career
- how you don’t need to be an influencer to have influence
- setting boundaries on social media
- God can use an influencer as a vessel for His Kingdom
