On the episode this week: Nate is optimistic and Aaron got a ransom note and may have gotten married.

Nate and Aaron talk to returning guest Crystal Renaud Day. Crystal is an author, counselor, coach, podcaster, and also leads intensives. She went to school for street cred! Crystal discusses the stats of surveying 1300 women who watch porn (including students), the findings are unexpected. She shares the five things that drive women to porn (surprise, its the same thing driving men to porn!). Crystal normalizes the discussion about women watching porn and in recovery, especially the shame in churches. She also offers hope and healing to those seeking change.
