Freedom from Porn & Sexual Struggles for Women with Joy Skarka

Freedom from Porn & Sexual Struggles for Women with Joy Skarka

Sexual struggles are often portrayed as a "guy only" issue. This is a major disservice to women.  God created both men and women as sexual beings. One is not more sexual than the other. Both struggle with sexual temptation and addiction. Both need the help and hope of the gospel. In today's conversation, Joy Skarka shares her story of date rape in college and how the pain from that experience led her into sexual struggles of her own.

Her story is one of healing, freedom and victory. If you desire hope for your own sexuality, this episode is for you.

Finding Joy in the Midst of Disappointment

Ep. 049 – The question we should be asking isn’t “Will I experience disappointment?” but rather “How can I still find joy in the midst of my disappointment when it strikes?” 

Over the past few years, God has been teaching Kristen and Bethany a lot about finding joy in the midst of their own disappointments. As they’ve walked through hardships, like infertility, miscarriage, singleness, an unworn wedding dress, the death of their baby brother, the deaths of grandparents, the sudden passing of a good friend, a sports injury that put them on the basketball bench in high school for months at a time, the unexpected loss of a pet, chronic illness and a broken friendship, God has shown them that it’s possible to have joy despite their circumstances.

They've come to understand that true joy and real suffering can coexist. If you desire true joy in the midst of your own disappointments, this episode will offer you that hope.

How Our Views on Modesty Have Changed

Modesty is a hot button topic, and one that we’ve talked about a lot here at Girl Defined. But you may have noticed that we haven’t been talking about it much lately. And that’s because we’ve been having a lot of conversations behind the scenes on how our views have changed, and what it looks like to best represent them today. Yes, we still believe modesty is a Biblical and important topic to discuss, but we feel there’s a better way to address it, and want to invite you into that conversation here.
