Today’s episode is a courageous and necessary one. You’re going to hear from Mo Isom Aiken, Founder of Bold Life International, who shares about one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood topics in the Church: sexuality.
In her talk, From Shame to Purity, Mo doesn’t shy away from the pain, confusion, or silence many of us have experienced in this area. Instead, she brings it all into the light—with honesty, grace, and a gospel vision that’s more redemptive than restrictive.
Whether you're a parent, a pastor, a college student, or someone just trying to navigate your own story, this conversation will challenge the narratives we’ve inherited and offer hope where sin and shame have taken root.

In this episode, we’re tackling a pressing cultural issue—the crisis of masculinity. You'll hear from Jefferson Bethke, a New York Times bestselling author and speaker who has spent years exploring what it means to live with purpose, faith, and biblical manhood. He says: “Men want a story worth living and sacrificing their whole life for it.”
Jefferson unpacks the confusion surrounding masculinity in today’s world. He challenges both the extremes of toxic masculinity and passive manhood, offering a vision of strength, leadership, and responsibility rooted in God’s design.
Let’s listen in as he reminds us that true masculinity isn’t about dominance or passivity—it’s about servant leadership, strength under control, and living with intentionality.
