S4 E1: Crystal Renaud Day - Answering Listener Questions about Recovery & Healing

In S4 E7, you'll hear from Phylicia Masonheimer. Have you ever wondered where your beliefs about faith, God, pornography, etc. really came from? Oftentimes it comes from our own understanding of the Bible, but even more than that it comes from what we've been taught or what we've done. In this interview, Phylicia discusses her new book, Every Woman a Theologian, as it relates to the sexually addicted woman and answers the question of why it is important for Christian women to understand their personal theology perspective.Phylicia Masonheimer is a blogger, author, speaker and podcast host teaching Christians how to know what they believe and live it boldly. Her heart is to teach women the history and depth of the Christian faith; the "why" behind the Bible. Her social media and blog cover topics ranging from sexuality to motherhood to Bible study and faith in seasons of grief and loss.Phylicia graduated from Liberty University with a B.S. in Religion. While there, she met her husband, Josh, and together they have three children. After living in Virginia and Pennsylvania, they returned to Phylicia's hometown in northern Michigan, where they live on a small farm in the country. Resources Referenced in this Episode: Phylicia's book - Every Woman a Theologian Phylicia's website and bookstore Phylicia's on InstagramSchedule a free consultation at Living on PurposeAttend unlimited recovery meetings with SheRecovery membership Support SheRecovery on PayPal, Venmo, or Buy Us a Coffee.Support the showThank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast, a resource of SheRecovery.com.

In S4E6, you'll hear from Kimberly Johnson. Crystal and Kimberly discuss some of the things that occur during recovery that may surprise you! One of the main reasons women, and even men, aren’t successful in recovery is that they haven’t been adequately prepared for what to expect. From sexual dreams and relapse, to accountability and feelings of grief, this is an extremely helpful conversation about the things to watch out for on the recovery journey. Kimberly serves as a counselor and meeting facilitator at Living on Purpose/SheRecovery. Kimberly holds a Master of Christian Counseling from Christian Leadership University. In addition to counseling she has traveled nation wide sharing her testimony with thousands. She teaches on all areas of sexual brokenness for large or small group events, and is a published author. Kimberly’s knowledge and experience come from not only the hundreds of stories she has heard, but from letting Jesus walk with her on her own path of healing from abuse, sexual addiction, and an unwanted same sex attraction. She believes that it is her life calling to make a difference in the areas of sexual and relational brokenness. Resources Referenced in this Episode: Kimberly's book - Accountability: The Missing Link Schedule a free consultation at Living on PurposeAttend unlimited recovery meetings with SheRecovery membership Support SheRecovery on PayPal, Venmo, or Buy Us a Coffee.Support the showThank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast, a resource of SheRecovery.com.
