Send us a textYou've seen the headlines: “Her Wildest Night Yet!” or “10 Secrets to Epic Pleasure.” Cosmo and other mainstream magazines have been feeding women these so-called empowering stories for decades. But what if those stories aren't even real? What if they're simply propaganda? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the glossy lies and exposing how these narratives are shaping our view of sex, identity, and womanhood—and not for the better. Today, we're diving in to why God's design for womanhood isn't boring, outdated, or shame-filled—but actually freeing, fulfilling, and rooted in truth.
