Do you feel that stubborn willpower should be sufficient to overcome pornography addiction, masturbation or casual hookups? 

We're here to help dispel that myth, sharing how this mentality often leads to self-blame and failure, creating a cycle of despair. The truth, which may surprise you, is that it's in these challenging times that we should invite divine intervention. We're not meant to go through this alone; God is ready to help and guide us towards a life of greater freedom. 

*This is an excerpt from a recent seminar with our Sacred by design team.  Join us as we explore the science behind pornography addiction, discussing how it hijacks the brain's reward system, leading to responses that are difficult to overcome on your own. We also emphasize the importance of being kind to oneself during recovery. 

Hear the inspiring story of Julie, a young woman who battled pornography and masturbation.  How she overcame the isolation she felt due to her same-sex attraction, and how seeking help allowed her to shift her perspective, realizing that she couldn't win this fight on her own.

Ever wondered how a CrossFit gym can teach you about spiritual growth? 

Through my personal journey, I've uncovered how physical well-being intertwines with our spiritual transformation, especially on the path toward sexual wholeness.

Discover how these physical disciplines can help build belief in the dignity and worthiness of who God calls us to be.

In the second half, the conversation continues further down the path of physical and spiritual well-being. Recounting a powerful encounter with my CrossFit coach Patty, I share insight into overcoming mental barriers and the role of physical empowerment in our spiritual metamorphosis. 

This is not just about doing the heavy lifting spiritually, but also physically. You are invited to consider the critical role of post-workout cooling down and restoration in our spiritual journey, reflecting the importance of balance in our pursuit of a wholesome, transformative life.

Think back to when you were a child and remember how your vision of the world was reshaped the first time you put on a pair of glasses. 

That's how I felt when I got my first pair at 12 - suddenly, everything was crystal clear, and not only in a physical sense. The glasses were not just tools for better vision; they became a metaphor for the lens through which I viewed my life. 

This episode is all about those lenses of perception - are we seeing ourselves through a lens of brokenness or belovedness? Our outlook can dramatically change our decisions and our sense of self-worth.

The second part of our discussion takes us deeper into understanding the impact of these lenses on our lives. We’re caught in a tug of war between brokenness, laden with guilt, shame, and loneliness, and belovedness, filled with curiosity, honor, honesty, and compassion. But what if we consciously choose to view ourselves through the lens of belovedness? 

Tune in as we navigate this transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and acceptance, inspired by the promises of Habakkuk and Jeremiah. Remember, God has a plan for us all, and by changing our lens, we can change our lives. 

So, are you ready to see yourself in a new light?

Ever feel overwhelmed by triggers or difficult people? 

We've got the tools to help! Our latest episode offers a deep dive into the powerful phrase "name it to tame it" and demonstrates how this technique can help us deal with life's challenges. 

We put 'affect' under the microscope and explain how you can measure it on a scale of 1 to 10. By using the fascinating example of a baby zebra imprinting on his mother, we'll draw parallels to our own life experiences and reveal how we can find our way back to our grounding figures in moments of chaos.

As we venture further, we shine a light on the role of imprinting and connection with Jesus. This episode unveils practical strategies to connect with Jesus in our everyday lives - even in the most mundane tasks like commuting or waiting at an appointment. 

You'll discover the transformative power of a prayer from Ephesians 1:17-19 and the soothing influence of a breath prayer when the world seems too much to handle. You're not alone.

Imagine embarking on a marathon, not only strapped with your running gear but also with the weight of guilt, shame, and frustration.

Can you picture yourself crossing the finish line? This episode is your cheerleading squad, equipping you with the support and encouragement necessary for a spiritual race of such magnitude.

We draw parallels from the biblical narrative of the prodigal son, reflecting on our own episodes of faltering faith and the feelings those periods stir.

We implore you to reach out in prayer, lean on your spiritual community, and embrace the love of a Father who is always ready to welcome you home.

As we continue on this journey, we analyze Hebrews 12 and its application to our pursuit of sexual wholeness.

We discuss the powerful image of “a great cloud of witnesses”, likening it to a stadium filled with cheerleaders urging us on. This discourse is a clarion call to invite others into our lives, not only for community but also as constant reminders of our commitment to wholeness. 

It's a challenging journey, no doubt, but as we keep our gaze on Jesus, we find solace in the assurance that the Father cares, and is there to strengthen and support us.

Ever felt like you've hit a wall in your journey towards sexual integrity?

It's a common situation, but not a dead end. In our discussion today, we shed light on the causes of this 'stuckness', such as fear, perfectionism, and a culture obsessed with instant gratification.

We also explore how Scripture, particularly Psalm 84:5-7, can empower us to move forward. Remember, Jesus doesn't want us to remain stuck. Realizing that we are stuck is the first step to freedom.

As we continue, we delve into the transformative role of prayer in this journey. Prayer is not just a religious activity, it's a path to self-understanding, a tool for staying present, and most importantly, a comforting reminder that we are not alone in our struggles.

We discuss how prayer can provide discernment and guidance to navigate our challenges. So, whether you're grappling with feelings of stuckness or seeking a deeper connection through prayer, we invite you to join us.

Take solace in the truth that even in struggle, we're never alone because Jesus is with us.

It's time we remind ourselves that resting isn't just permissible - it's necessary.

This episode draws inspiration from the story of Elijah in One Kings 19, demonstrating how even in the midst of exhaustion and pressure, taking a break to rest is vital.

It's a bold idea, but bear with us. In this thought-provoking episode, we open up about the often overlooked but essential part of recovery: grief.

We delve into the sense of loss that can accompany walking away from past habits like pornography or casual sex. While these served as a comforting escape, releasing them is crucial for healing, even if guilt attempts to sneak in.

We promise that this episode is not just about Barbie, but rather a broader exploration of the female journey towards self-discovery and the quest for identity.

We will take you on a metaphorical trip, using scenes from Barbie's movie to shed light on the powerful emotions that many of us experience in our personal struggles.

Are your habits and addictions holding you back?

Join me, Andrea, as we boldly navigate the challenging terrain of triggers in Sacred by Design.

We'll unveil the power of naming and understanding your triggers, the important second step towards breaking the cycle of addiction.

Together, we'll journey through the profound wisdom of the Bible, revealing how Jesus is aware of our struggles and invites us towards wholeness.

The second half of our conversation takes us deeper into the realm of freedom from our sexual brokenness through Jesus's love and understanding.

We'll challenge ourselves to identify and control our triggers before they control us.

Remember, Jesus is here to offer us power and freedom from these triggers.

As we wrap up, consider exploring more by visiting our website and connecting with one of our spiritual coaches.

Listen in, as we illuminate the pathway to overcome the power of triggers and step into the liberty of Jesus's love.

What if the key to breaking free from unwanted sexual behavior lies in the power of your thoughts?

Let's journey together through this thought-provoking conversation as we explore the often overlooked significance of our mental pathways and how they can lead us to experiences of shame, isolation, and disappointment.

Yet, there's hope. There's a promise - and not just any promise, but one from Jesus, who is ready to guide us in creating new neural paths filled with freedom, victory, and community.

We'll tackle the challenging topic of overcoming addiction by understanding the 'why' behind our behaviors.

We'll grapple with the discomfort of change and resistance but also discover the liberation that comes with redirecting our thoughts towards truth, honor, purity, and love.

We'll discuss practical ways to utilize tools like the pause app to build our mental strength, catching and transforming negative thoughts. Join us as we blaze a new path with Jesus, turning our minds and hearts towards the ultimate freedom He offers.

Let's remember, we are not alone in this journey, and with Jesus, we can achieve more than we ever imagined.
