🔗Covenant Eyes: Women can find resources through our Arise program!https://cvnteyes.co/3ZvW65U_____________________For years, the struggle with pornography has been viewed primarily as a men's issue, leaving countless women feeling isolated and ashamed. But the landscape is changing. Crystal Renaud Day, a pioneer in addressing women's struggles with pornography and sex addiction, joins The Covenant Eyes Podcast to shed light on this sensitive topic.In this crucial conversation, Crystal discusses the "wholeness model" of recovery—a holistic approach that heals the body, mind, and spirit by addressing the "why" behind the behavior, not just the actions themselves. She shares eye-opening statistics about the rise of pornography use among Millennial and Gen Z women and explores how technology has shifted the nature of exposure and addiction.LISTEN NOW TO LEARN:💡 How Crystal’s ministry, She Recovery, is creating a "discipleship model" to train others to help women heal.💡 The difference between focusing on behaviors ("the what") versus the root causes ("the why").💡 Practical ways for women to navigate a hyper-digital world, safeguard their recovery, and use technology for redemption.💡 How the church can better support women and why so many women still find help outside its walls.A final word of encouragement, reminding listeners that those who look to Him for help will be radiant, with "no shadow of shame" to darken their faces.If you or someone you know is struggling in silence, this episode is a powerful reminder that you are not alone and that true, shame-free healing is possible.RESOURCES MENTIONED:🔗 She Recovery: Find virtual coaching, counseling, and resources at https://SheRecovery.com🔗Book & Devotional: 90 Days to Wholeness is available on the She Recovery website and for free on the YouVersion Bible App.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Welcome back Crystal Renaud Day00:59 - New: She Recovery Coaching Certification 02:18 - What is Holistic Healing?
