S3 E3: Whole New Year - Surrender - Why You Can Trust God

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.

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.

In S4E5, you'll hear from Mo Isom Aiken. While her life on the outside seemed like a great success as a competitive athlete, Mo's life was riddled with great personal tragedy. This included battling an eating disorder, overcoming the suicide of her father, struggling with promiscuity and porn, and surviving a horrific car accident. But by the grace of God alone, she encountered the love and mercy of Jesus – the Great Deliverer and the One who makes all things new. Listen as Mo shares her powerful story of brokenness leading to bold faith.

Mo (Isom) Aiken is a New York Times bestselling author, a nationally sought-after speaker, and a powerful voice rising up for her generation. In her younger years, she was an All-American goalkeeper for the LSU Women’s Soccer team and the first female to train with and try out for an SEC men’s football team. Her life was riddled with great personal tragedy – including battling an eating disorder, overcoming the suicide of her father, struggling with promiscuity, and surviving a horrific car accident. But by the grace of God, alone, she encountered the love and mercy of Jesus – the Great Deliverer and the One who makes all things new. She is now a Holy Spirit-filled daughter of God who isn’t afraid to speak bold, raw, courageous Truth to a generation being crushed under the weight of their sin, their circumstances and the lies of the enemy.

She is a wife to Jeremiah, two spunky daughters—Auden and Asher—and two feisty and sweet sons—Ronan and Elijah. The family lives fully mobilized on mission for the Gospel in a 5th wheel RV and spearheads a ministry known as 5th Wheel Missions. Mo is also the author of 3 books including Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. Learn more about Mo at moisom.com or on Instagram @moisom and @5thWheelMissions.
