Is Masturbation Wrong for the Christian ...

BETHANY BEAL AND KRISTEN CLARK
About this episode

Ep. 23 - If you’re a girl or woman who has struggled with any sort of lustful sin habit, you’re not alone. Millions of Christian women (single and married) are facing similar temptations every day. And by God’s grace, many of them are finding freedom and victory over their struggles! I (Kristen) am going to be very open and transparent in this post because I want you to know that Christ has the power to help us overcome our sin and to find lasting victory. 

In today's episode, I'm going to share my story of struggle with masturbation and offer you the biblical truths that I believe can set any woman free.
