Summary

Today, we expose the dark world of steamy romance novels, from violent “smut” like “50 Shades of Grey” to monster fantasies, luring women into dopamine-fueled addiction. Online discussions like BookTok are fueling Gen Z's addiction to erotic literature. We unpack their psychological and spiritual harm, fueling discontent and demonic delusions. Join us to reject this cultural poison and pursue the purity and satisfaction found only in Christ, guarding our hearts for God’s glory. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

The dark world of steamy romance novels is much bigger and more powerful than you think. It is very

0:06.5

deeply affecting women psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually, perhaps even politically.

0:13.2

We are going to explore the depths of this sphere today and explain exactly why this matters

0:19.6

so much to Christians. If you love this podcast,

Leave us a five-star review wherever you listen. It helps us out a lot. All right, without further

0:35.7

ado, here's today's episode of Relatable.

0:37.7

All right. Hey, guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful

0:52.0

week so far. All right. I have been wanting to dive into

1:13.5

1:19.7

just stopped me in my tracks and made me go even deeper into this subject because I realized

1:25.9

just how disturbing things are getting in the world of social media

1:30.7

book reviews. There is a book that is apparently very popular. I thought that it was a joke

1:37.9

when I first saw it on X. And let me just tell you before we put the picture up, okay?

1:44.5

Before we get into all of this, if you couldn't tell by the title and the subject that I just introduced, this is at the very least PG-13.

1:52.4

Okay, like I would actually tell you, if your teenage daughter listens to Relatable, most episodes are great to listen to with the family.

1:59.6

This episode, I would say not. Okay. And I take

2:02.7

no enjoyment from talking about this and you're going to think, oh my gosh, I can't believe that

2:10.0

she's saying these titles. I want you to know, though, what is going on. Because if you do have a

daughter or you have a friend or you have someone that you know in your life who is into these kinds of books, you need to know what is going into their mind, the input that is going in that might be affecting the output. And to do that, we've got to get specific. It's not enough for me to just say, oh yeah, this is a trend. Believe me, I got to show you what's going on in the world and why women think
