Are You Boy-Crazy? with Paula Marsteller

BETHANY BEAL AND KRISTEN CLARK
About this episode

Ep. 032 - When was the first time you really noticed a guy? What about your first crush? Most of us never take the time to figure out how we ended up where we are today. If you find yourself boy-crazy, how did you get there? When did it happen? In today's episode, Paula takes us on her own boy-crazy journey. She shares how her obsession with getting  guys to notice her, completely robbed her of true joy and satisfaction in Christ. Getting another boyfriend didn't make her happy, but more insecure and needy than before.

Can you relate? If so, this episode is for you! Freedom from boy-craziness can be yours. You don't have to stay in this trap forever. You can have true satisfaction in Christ (no boyfriend needed).
