Many women have unknowingly turned to pornography, masturbation and other sexual behaviors as a means of soothing or covering up their hurts.Scripture says there is life and death in the power of words.

In S3E4 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series.  In this week's episode, Crystal and Gina begin their discussion on the second recovery step outlined in the devotional: Confession. The biblical definition of confession is the acknowledging or confessing of sins before God. The first step in confession is realizing what sin is, how you may have inadvertently got there, and how to get right with God. One of the ways to recognize sin is that as you continue doing wrong things, they escalate to uncontrollable urges or impulses and unhealthy practices. What we do is planting seeds and nurturing them by continuing these behaviors. You don't realize what's been planted in your soul until you start producing fruit. By now you are seeing the negative results, feeling dirty, sad, shameful, secretive maybe even experiencing sickness in your mind and body. 1 Corinthians 6:18So, now comes the Good News about Confession. Acknowledging and confessing our sins (our wrong doings) to God opens the door to the process of cleansing. A release from the baggage weighing you down. Proverbs 28:13Every human whether committing sexual sins or not needs to confess their sins. Everyone accepting God will start a sanctification process, a new way of life. Yours may look different initially because of the nature of your sins, but take heart. Once you confess your personal sins to God and ask forgiveness for them, you are restored to perfect fellowship and communion with Him.1 Thessalonians 4:3 1 John 1:9Be specific in your confession, but don't beat yourself up. Acknowledge what you've done. God knows and He is ready to receive you. Confess to others (like your SheRecovery meeting). Hearing yourself own up to moral failure to other safe people is a good foundation to keep you from making excuses about why you have sinned. James 5:16As long as you are alive on this earth, you will have sin. If you should slip up, stop and confess your sin to God. Do not allow the enemy to lie to you and cause shame. God does not shame, He merely reveals, so you can confess and start over. He will strengthen you.Resources Referenced:90 Days to Wholeness™ coloring devotional workbook on Amazon90 Days to Wholeness™ for FREE on YouVersionEnroll in SheRecovery Virtual MeetingsLifeRecovery Bible SheRecovery Facebook GroupSchedule Free Consultation (Counseling)Thank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast - a resource of SheRecovery.com.

In S3E3 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series. After defining Surrender in Biblical terms the last two weeks, in this week's episode you'll learn more about who you are surrendering your life to (God). There are a lot of reasons for why you might struggle to trust God with your life, your recovery, and your whole heart—pain, fear, disease—even pandemics. But by getting to know who God truly is (His names and His attributes), you'll begin to see why you can trust Him and take the steps to go all in on your relationship with Him.The Names and Attributes of God (Navigators)OMNIPOTENTJeremiah 32:17-18 Jeremiah 32:26-27 OMNISCIENTPsalm 139:1-6OMNIPRESENTPsalm 139:7-12GOODPsalm 119:65-72LOVE 1 John 4:7-10PEACE (SHALOM)Judges 6:16-24JUSTPsalm 75:1-7 FAITHFULPsalm 89:1-8OUR COMFORTER2 Corinthians 1:3-4OUR INTERCESSORHebrews 4:14-16 Resources Referenced:90 Days to Wholeness™ coloring devotional workbook on Amazon90 Days to Wholeness™ for FREE on YouVersionEnroll in SheRecovery Virtual MeetingsLifeRecovery Bible Navigators: 30 Days of Praying the Names and Attributes of GodThank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast - a resource of SheRecovery.com.

In S3E2 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Crystal Renaud Day along with her mom and special guest Gina Renaud as they walk through 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional in our Whole New Year series. In this episode, they continue their 3-part discussion on the topic of Surrender.Last week they discussed Surrender as a need to stop trying to be the boss because we do not have the power to change on our own. We acknowledged our need for spiritual assistance. This week, they discuss Surrender as term used in warfare or battle. You are probably unaware, but war was declared on us while we were in our mother's womb. The devil (enemy) has hated us from the very beginning because he hates God and we are image-bearers of God! Now that you are making a decision to leave your harmful ways behind, you may have noticed a fight has begun.Hopefully, you have begun to turn to God as you are learning to surrender to the most benevolent, but powerful Being ever. At times you are still going to encounter the devil, and old habits will try to entice you again. You will need to fill up your spirit with the word of God to gain victory. By surrendering to God, He gives you power, armor, and weapons which are supernatural to fight and win.  Scripture HelpsPowerEphesians 6:10Nehemiah 8:10Psalm 144:1EnemiesEphesians 6:11-12  Armor Ephesians 6:13-17Weapons2 Corinthians 10:4-5Ephesians 6:18  Next StepsSurrender to God, resist the devil and he must flee.Get an easy to read or understand version of the Bible such as the New Living TranslationRead the Bible and personalize it.

In the Season 3 opener of the SheRecovery Podcast, Crystal introduces you to this special 13-week Whole New Year podcast series. At SheRecovery, we are walking through 90 Days to Wholeness both in our virtual meetings as well as on our podcast as a way to start the new year off—not just recovery-minded—but spiritually minded. Throughout this series, Crystal along with her special guest Gina Renaud (her amazing, super discipleship-rich mom) discuss each of the steps outlined in the 90 Days to Wholeness™ recovery devotional from a spiritual wholeness perspective. In this episode, they kick off the series with the first step: Surrender.Definitions of Surrender:MacMillan Online DictionaryTo say officially that you have been defeated and will stop fightingTo give control over a place or person to someone who defeatedGateway Bible DictionaryAccepting that the battle has been won, not on your terms, and you are willingly giving your life over to the Authority of the winning sideThe enemy of your soul, the devil initially enticed you to view pornography or engage in unhealthy sexual behaviors or other sinful activities. He lied to you, then slowly trapped you. Making you, his slave to things that are no longer pleasurable. He hates you because he hates God. The lover of your soul, the Lord God through Jesus has come to set you free. He tells the truth because He is the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. He gives you life and the opportunity to know and serve God freely. He accepts you as His child and loves you. He gives you the desires of your heart.We are a triune being created by God, also a Triune being – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You have a body, soul, and spirit. Your soul is also 3 parts made of the mind, emotions, and will.You need more than behavior modification to recover. Real recovery is a part of Wholeness. To get there, you will need to engage your body, your emotions, and your spirit. God has the answers you are looking for, and your spirit through faith is the vehicle to get you there.The steps of SCARS – Surrender, Confession, Accountability, Responsibility, and Sharing found in 90 Days to Wholeness works as a map or navigational chart. You will gain the peace and strength you long for as you travel this road. This is what we at SheRecovery desire and pray for you, too.Scriptures HelpsRomans 12:1-2 MEV1 Corinthians 6:18-20 MEVJames 7:14 MEVResources Referenced:90 Days to Wholeness™ on Amazon90 Days to Wholeness™ on YouVersionEnroll in SheRecovery Virtual MeetingsThank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast - a resource of SheRecovery.com.

In S2E9 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Noelle & Ryan Wilking. In this interview, Noelle shares her story of addiction recovery. While in recovery, Noelle met the man who would become her husband, Ryan, who was also struggling with pornography. Together, they learned to navigate their own recovery journeys while pursuing a pure relationship from dating to marriage (no easy task!). While not a perfect one, they want their story to be a testimony to others.  At the age of 16, in the middle of some of Noelle's darkest moments, the Lord pressed it on her heart that she would not only find freedom, but that God would use her to help other women find victory from their sexual addictions. Her passion is to boldly proclaim the truth about God‘s beautiful design for sex and sexuality to His body and specifically help women walk into sexual wholeness. Around a year into recovery, Noelle met her husband Ryan. The Lord radically restored their sexual innocence while they were dating and believe the Lord will use testimonies to minister to others. For the last two years Noelle has led a support group at her church for women who struggle with pornography and sexual addiction at River of Life in Grand Junction, CO.

In S2E8 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Cassidy Brown. In this week's episode, we discuss a popular topic in recovery and in faith—how to accept God as a father when our own don't measure up or were absent all together.  Cassidy shares her story of freedom from a nearly decade long pornography addiction and in large part how her recovery required healing her view of God as a loving Father. Cassidy is currently studying at Southeastern University to get her ministerial leadership degree with a focus in pastoral care & counseling. She has gained a following on her social media channels from sharing the testimony God gave her, which includes overcoming a decade long pornography addiction.

In S2E7 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear Part 2 of a two-part interview with Dena Bennett. Dena came out of a hedonistic and atheistic lifestyle when she met Jesus in 2006. In this interview, Dena discusses what the long road of recovery from pornography addiction looked like after she found salvation (because like most, there wasn't instant freedom!). Dena also discusses the impact her recovery and desire for purity has had on dating and marriage. Before Jesus, Dena's life primarily revolved around sexual relationships, pornography, and masturbation. But by God's grace, with the help of her church, and over the course of many years, Dena experienced deep healing and transformation with regard to her sexual struggles, now walking in sexual sobriety for 8 years. In 2016 she had the great privilege of working with her church to help start a ministry for women who struggle with sexual sin. One of her many joys of being in this ministry has been to help develop a small group curriculum titled, Set Free: Equipping Women in the Quest for Sexual Integrity, recently published on Amazon. Dena currently lives in Des Moines, IA, with her husband Jacob and their dog Nuggets.Resources Referenced: Set Free: Equipping Women in the Quest for Sexual Integrity by Dena Bennett along with members of Walnut Creek ChurchDirty Girls Come Clean by Crystal Renaud DayThank you for listening to the SheRecovery Podcast - a resource of SheRecovery.com.

***Episode Disclaimer*** We don't shy away from difficult conversations at the SheRecovery Podcast, but this week is a bit different. This week, we are talking about grief. No one is immune from the impact of grief, whether it is the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or even having to grieve the loss of a dream or an expectation in life that hasn't been fulfilled. We all grieve in one way or another, and for some of you right now, you're in the middle of your grief. Our guest speaker for this episode Melissa Moore is no stranger to grief but she's also a sister in recovery from pornography addiction. We give this disclaimer because it is easy to want to shy away from conversations like this because it is easier to just talk about the porn and those tangible issues. It is harder to talk about conditions of the heart—yet it is the conditions of the heart that more often than not keep us going back to porn, sex, what have you. So please engage in this conversation and if you need to talk with someone, you can always schedule a free phone consultation at livingonpurposekc.com to speak with one of our staff counselors.  In S2E5 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Melissa Moore. In this interview, Melissa opens up about her experience with grief as the result of three miscarriages and the loss of her mother to suicide—while also carrying the burden of a pornography addiction. Melissa candidly explains how a long term relationship with pornography and masturbation (even while married) became coping skills for her pain and grief. But not all is hopeless. Listen as Melissa shares how she went from just coping to finding real healing emotionally and spiritually.  Melissa is a Christian writer, women's speaker, and the host of the Faith Hope Love Show—where women grow together in their faith, increase in hope, and learn how to better love God and love other people. She is actively involved as the Assistant Coordinator of the Gateway MOPS/MOMSnext program, supports women grieving miscarriages at her local church, and teaches at various women's events in the Central Valley of California. She has a BA in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Azusa Pacific University and a Graduate Diploma in Pastoral Care to Women from Western Seminary.

In S2E4 of the SheRecovery Podcast, you'll hear from Rachel Joy Welcher. In this interview, Rachel discusses the impact purity culture has had on the generation that grew up in it. Many of the messages of purity culture offered promises of a kind of life that real life couldn't keep, nor does the Bible actually offer. If you grew up in purity culture and have found that life doesn't match the narrative, you don't want to miss this candid interview full of truth and redemption.  Rachel is a columnist and editor at Fathom magazine. She is the author of two books of poetry: Blue Tarp and Two Funerals, Then Easter and her most recent book Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality.

In S2E3 of the SheRecovery Podcast, Crystal chats with Sarah Ritson. In this interview, Sarah shares her story of pornography addiction recovery. For many years, Sarah lived in denial about her addiction, believing that since she wasn't watching "real porn" (i.e. YouTube, movies, etc.) she was okay. It wasn't until she was on the mission field and looked up internet porn for the first time, that Sarah began to see she had a real problem. Listen as Sarah shares her story with honesty and grace.  Sarah Ritson is a teacher and missionary who has recently returned to United States from serving in South Africa. She graduated from Houghton College with a degree in Inclusive Childhood Education and a second major in Art. She loves reading, writing, painting, and educating.

In S2E2 of the SheRecovery Podcast, Crystal chats with Dr. Carol Tanksley. In this interview, Carol discusses how we can invite Jesus into our sexual story—past, present, and future. But what does that look like? How do we do it? How can we trust Him to write a new chapter? Don't miss this very candid conversation as Carol speaks from personal and professional experience. Dr Carol is an OB-Gyn physician, Doctor of Ministry, author, speaker, and personal coach. She has practiced medicine for 29 years, and is board certified in Obstetrics-Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology.

(Master of Divinity), and then a D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) from Oral Roberts University, focusing on Christian leadership. Her husband Al and she together produced a regular radio program “The Dr Carol Show” from 2009 until not long before his death in 2016.
