Best of 2024: Finding Heaven: Knowing God and His Love (Part 1 of 2)

Dr. Rosaria Butterfield was a college professor and former lesbian who after spending time with a pastor and his wife began to reconsider her beliefs and choices. She now helps Christians to identify several prominent lies of the culture – including homosexuality, transgenderism, and feminism – and encourages us to lovingly engage those false ideas with a strong biblical worldview. With compelling stories and eye-opening insights, Rosaria cuts through the cultural clutter to help others see God’s design for men and women.   Receive the book Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age and the audio download of the broadcast "Loving People Through the Truth" for your donation of any amount!

In today’s culture, pornography is generally viewed as a male problem, yet a growing number of women are getting addicted to porn as well. Jessica Harris shares her remarkable story of struggling with a secret porn addiction while simultaneously trying to project being a “perfect Christian girl.” She explains how porn is a distorted intimacy and how God wants confessions of our sin not to punish us, but to provide healing. She shares how God healed her addiction in Bible college, and later God provided her with a husband and family. She also advises parents to pursue their child instead of shaming them when porn use is discovered.   Receive the book Quenched plus a free audio download of “A Woman's Journey Through Pornography Addiction” for your donation of any amount!
