Summary
Being fun vs. serious in dating, plus part one of Joshua Broome’s journey out of the porn industry, and when a woman wants marriage but not kids.
Featured musical artist: Danen Kane
Roundtable: Balancing Fun and Intention in Dating
Some of us gravitate toward lightheartedness and fun, while others are naturally more measured and serious. When it comes to dating, how do you enjoy spending time with a person while also getting to know important information about them? Our guests share ideas for finding the balance between fun and facts in a growing relationship.
Culture: My Journey Out of the Porn Industry (Part 1)
Joshua Broome was one of the porn industry’s top stars — but he was lonely, depressed, and without purpose. He eventually contemplated suicide, but an encounter with a bank teller put him on a different path. Where he went from there is the substance of his miraculous story. In part one of his testimony, Joshua shares how his difficult home life as a child and teen influenced decisions he made later on.
Inbox: She Doesn’t Want Kids
Is it wrong if a woman wants to get married but doesn’t want kids? Counselor Kari A weighs in.
