This episode originally aired on October 22, and I’m bringing it back because this is a conversation we simply cannot ignore.

As explicit “romance” fiction and erotic content continue to become normalized—especially among women—it’s important that we talk honestly about what it’s doing to our hearts and our marriages.

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Elise Orozco shares how so-called “romance” fiction slowly drew her in, how it impacted her marriage and her walk with the Lord, and how God led her to freedom.

This isn’t about shame. It’s about guarding our hearts and remembering that God’s design for intimacy is protective, beautiful, and life-giving.

If you care about strengthening your marriage and living in freedom, don’t skip this one.
