    Breaking Free: Unmasking the Myth of Willpower

    Breaking Free: Unmasking the Myth of Willpower

    Do you feel that stubborn willpower should be sufficient to overcome pornography addiction, masturbation or casual hookups? 

    We're here to help dispel that myth, sharing how this mentality often leads to self-blame and failure, creating a cycle of despair. The truth, which may surprise you, is that it's in these challenging times that we should invite divine intervention. We're not meant to go through this alone; God is ready to help and guide us towards a life of greater freedom. 

    *This is an excerpt from a recent seminar with our Sacred by design team.  Join us as we explore the science behind pornography addiction, discussing how it hijacks the brain's reward system, leading to responses that are difficult to overcome on your own. We also emphasize the importance of being kind to oneself during recovery. 

    Hear the inspiring story of Julie, a young woman who battled pornography and masturbation.  How she overcame the isolation she felt due to her same-sex attraction, and how seeking help allowed her to shift her perspective, realizing that she couldn't win this fight on her own.
    Start overcoming porn, masturbation, and other unwanted sexual behaviors, by rewriting how you respond to desire, temptation, mess-ups, and shame.

    The Intersection of CrossFit and Theology on the Path to Wholeness and Sexual Integrity

    The Intersection of CrossFit and Theology on the Path to Wholeness and Sexual Integrity

    Ever wondered how a CrossFit gym can teach you about spiritual growth? 

    Through my personal journey, I've uncovered how physical well-being intertwines with our spiritual transformation, especially on the path toward sexual wholeness. 

    This episode is a deep dive into the lessons learned from my CrossFit experience, emphasizing the need to warm up our hearts, minds, and bodies with gratitude, and the importance of embracing the tension of our past and future selves. Discover how these physical disciplines can help build belief in the dignity and worthiness of who God calls us to be.

    In the second half, the conversation continues further down the path of physical and spiritual well-being. Recounting a powerful encounter with my CrossFit coach Patty, I share insight into overcoming mental barriers and the role of physical empowerment in our spiritual metamorphosis. 

    This is not just about doing the heavy lifting spiritually, but also physically. You are invited to consider the critical role of post-workout cooling down and restoration in our spiritual journey, reflecting the importance of balance in our pursuit of a wholesome, transformative life. 

    So, ready to flex those spiritual muscles? Let's get started!
    Start overcoming porn, masturbation, and other unwanted sexual behaviors, by rewriting how you respond to desire, temptation, mess-ups, and shame.

    The Power of Perception: Opting for Belovedness Over Brokenness

    The Power of Perception: Opting for Belovedness Over Brokenness

    Think back to when you were a child and remember how your vision of the world was reshaped the first time you put on a pair of glasses. 

    That's how I felt when I got my first pair at 12 - suddenly, everything was crystal clear, and not only in a physical sense. The glasses were not just tools for better vision; they became a metaphor for the lens through which I viewed my life. 

    This episode is all about those lenses of perception - are we seeing ourselves through a lens of brokenness or belovedness? Our outlook can dramatically change our decisions and our sense of self-worth.

    The second part of our discussion takes us deeper into understanding the impact of these lenses on our lives. We’re caught in a tug of war between brokenness, laden with guilt, shame, and loneliness, and belovedness, filled with curiosity, honor, honesty, and compassion. But what if we consciously choose to view ourselves through the lens of belovedness? 

    Tune in as we navigate this transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and acceptance, inspired by the promises of Habakkuk and Jeremiah. Remember, God has a plan for us all, and by changing our lens, we can change our lives. 

    So, are you ready to see yourself in a new light?

    Taming Your Affect: How Naming and Regulating Emotions Lead to Wholeness

    Taming Your Affect: How Naming and Regulating Emotions Lead to Wholeness

    Ever feel overwhelmed by triggers or difficult people? 

    We've got the tools to help! Our latest episode offers a deep dive into the powerful phrase "name it to tame it" and demonstrates how this technique can help us deal with life's challenges. 

    We put 'affect' under the microscope and explain how you can measure it on a scale of 1 to 10. By using the fascinating example of a baby zebra imprinting on his mother, we'll draw parallels to our own life experiences and reveal how we can find our way back to our grounding figures in moments of chaos.

    As we venture further, we shine a light on the role of imprinting and connection with Jesus. This episode unveils practical strategies to connect with Jesus in our everyday lives - even in the most mundane tasks like commuting or waiting at an appointment. 

    You'll discover the transformative power of a prayer from Ephesians 1:17-19 and the soothing influence of a breath prayer when the world seems too much to handle. You're not alone. 

    You are deeply loved by a God who is always with us, and His plans for us are good. Join us on this journey, and let's navigate through life's trials together.
    Start overcoming porn, masturbation, and other unwanted sexual behaviors, by rewriting how you respond to desire, temptation, mess-ups, and shame.

    Discovering Jesus in the midst of Suffering

    Discovering Jesus in the midst of Suffering

    Ever had a journey of pain that led you to a journey of faith?

    This episode is for you. We sit down with an extraordinary guest who has been through physical and emotional pain due to numerous surgeries and chronic illness.

    She shares how her pain, instead of pushing her away, actually brought her closer to her faith and revealed a brand new perspective on scriptures. 

    Feeling isolated during her recovery, she turned to journaling which became her intimate conversation with God. You'll hear a raw and unfiltered narrative of how her pain transformed into spiritual growth and deepened her connection with God.

    We also delve into how her journey through pain has brought the Bible to life for her, offering a unique perspective often overlooked.

    This episode is a testament to resilience and provides a fresh outlook on embracing pain in our healing journey, not as a roadblock, but as a path leading us to spiritual growth and deeper faith.
