We have known this for quite a while but there are still far fewer resources and environments for women to get help than there are for men.This is why I’m so glad to have Jessica Harris back on the program today. She has been a pioneer for women seeking safe places and help for breaking free from the stronghold of porn and lust. In our conversation, she shares a bit of her own story, where a woman must start their journey toward wholeness, and practical insights for discovering true fulfillment and freedom in the abundant grace of God.For more information about Jessica and her resources, visit BeggarsDaughter.com.

Conflict is inevitable in marriage. But often couples assume that all conflict is bad or wrong and believe the goal is to eliminate it altogether. But my guest today has a different approach when it comes to conflict in marriage. His name is Andrew Arthur and he is a mediation specialist with both personal experience and professional expertise in addressing conflict in marriage. In this episode, Andrew helps us to normalize the reality of conflict, gives a simple definition of conflict, how to navigate the needs and interests of both parties in the conflict, and unpacks the 5 specific “conflict styles” and how they intersect in marriage. If your marriage is struggling with conflict and how to resolve it in constructive ways, this conversation with Andrew will help. To learn more about Andrew and the mediation services he offers, visit GenesisChristianMediation.com.More Resources:Find a CounselorPrepare-Enrich40 Days of OnenessRelated Podcasts:I'd Rather We Fight than NotHelping Couples Walk the Path of Restoration After Sexual BetrayalThe Goal is Connecting----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our YouTube channel.
