Recovering Womanhood from Toxic Femininity
22 februari 2021 · 56 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Ep. 016 - As women, we ALL want to be happy, fulfilled, content, worthy, and loved… but so many women (whether Christian or not) find themselves feeling the opposite. In fact, in researching for Kristen and Bethany's first book, Girl Defined, they came across a study published in the UK Daily Mail which stated, quote: “Women are less happy nowadays despite 40 years of feminism. Despite having more opportunities than ever before, they have a lower sense of well-being and life satisfaction.”
This is heartbreaking. Instead continuing down the same path and hoping for different results, let's ask some hard questions. Let's talk about why women are less happy and less fulfilled. Let's talk about the lies many women believe about their identity. Let's talk about what the secular world teach about being women in today’s society. Let's talk about toxic femininity.
In today's episode, Kristen Clark and Portia Collins are discussing God's good design for womanhood and offering hope-filled biblical truths to guide the modern girl.

Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Ep. 015 - We’re talking about the hush-hush topic of porn and answering your question about whether or not you should date a guy who’s addicted to it. According to a recent survey, we're told that at least 75% of christian guys ages 18-30 view porn at least several times a month. Those are not encouraging statistics. So what are we supposed to do? How should we approach this topic? Are guys who struggle with porn on the no-no list"?
In today's episode, Kristen and Bethany address the often avoided topic of porn addictions and answer your question as to whether or not should date a guy who's personally struggling with it.

Purity Culture: What Went Right and Wrong
25 januari 2021 · 44 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Ep. 012 - When did Christians start talking about virginity and purity like it was the most important thing? When did sex become the big “no-no?” And how did purity culture become such a hot button issue? Kristen and Bethany both grew up in the height of the purity movement. Purity rings and true love waits were a part of their young adult years. They both had purity rings and both advocated for things like... saving your first kiss until marriage. Their insight on the issue of sex, purity and purity culture come from a unqiue perspective. Having grown up in the movement they speak from personal experience, as well as bring biblical insight to the table.
In today’s episode, Kristen and Bethany debunk three false narratives about purity and unpack the truth of what God actually says about sex.

Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Ep. 011 - Do you find yourself struggling to be a girl of the Word instead of the world? Kristen and Bethany have found themselves in that place many times. There are constantly things pulling us, as girls, away from our greatest purpose, identity, and mission as Christians. We need to remember that we aren't just girls. We are Christian girls. And that should radically change everything about us.
We should have a radically different purpose in our:
Goals
Relationships
Identity
Sexuality
Politics
Family
Social Media
etc.
Thankfully God is the one who gives His children the strength to live for Him despite opposition.

Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Ep. 010 - The struggle to get into God's Word on a daily basis is real. It seems like there are a million distractions and things pulling us away from being quiet before God. If we're totally honest, sometimes reading the Bible can feel like a boring chore or simply a box to check off. Have you ever felt that way? Instead of continuing on with the same plan (or no plan) and hoping for different results, let's take a step back and rethink the entire purpose of the Bible. Let's ask ourselves, "why should I read my Bible?"
In today's episode, Kristen and Bethany unpack five strategies to help you create a plan to get into God's Word on a regular basis. They share their personal favorite Bible Study plans and resources to make Bible reading an exciting part of your daily life.

Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
007 - A recent cover of Vogue featured Harry Styles wearing a dress. Yes, a dress. Is this a big deal or is it not? We see people responding on both ends of the spectrum. Some are applauding Harry as being bold, edgy, and forward-thinking. Others are appalled that a man is being praised for wearing women's clothing. The goal of today's episode isn't to discuss personal opinions. It's to figure out how we, as Christians, should we respond to this.
Join Kristen and Bethany as they dig into God's Word and unpack what He says about our designs as male and female.

002 - Have you ever thought to yourself, “if only I were prettier then I’d be happy?” Or, “if only guys would notice me, then I wouldn't be insecure?” Or, “if only I had more followers on social media, then I’d have influence?” In a culture that idolizes physical beauty, romantic relationships and success, it’s tempting for us, as Christian girls, to find our identity in these things. But if this is the answer, why are so many girls unhappy and discontent with their lives?
In this honest and raw conversation, Kristen and Bethany expose three of the most popular places Christian girls misplace their identity and show you how to find your identity in Christ instead.
