3708 Jessica (PG) (Fornication, Back-slidden) As a child, Jessica felt free and happy inside her body when she was playing sports. But as she matured, she began to feel a disconnect. She received mixed messages from church, home and her friends about how to relate to boys and she soon started hooking up, just like most of her friends were. When she went to college, she began to feel objectified and hurt not to experience any deeper connection with the men she slept with. A visit home with her mom and former youth leader compelled her to visit a church where she met an older couple, Sara and Tom. Their marriage and commitment to one another inspired Jessica and helped her see God’s vision for intimacy in a new light. She repented and began down a different path; even though that meant she would have to wait for the guy who would understand and respect her choices.

Heard an episode on the radio a few nights ago about a man named Gene Hayble. I frequently went to his restaurant and his wife used to ring patrons checks. Haybles Hearth was the restaurant in Greensboro NC...I was shocked but not suprised to hear his testimony on UNSHACKLED. I have enjoyed hearing this show for years on BBN Radio.
