Podcast Overview
<p>This is a place for those who have been hurt, confused, overlooked, broken, and wondered, “Why did this have to happen?”. Here we find meaning in the moments that tried to break us. What felt like a burden was really an assignment, and every season that stretched us, was shaping us. Nothing that happened was random—it had purpose.</p><p></p><p>Each episode leans into real life: betrayal, heartbreak, loss, disappointment, waiting, and unexpected pain. Yet, through every story, we uncover the same truth—God was present, intentional, and working behind the scenes. The things we thought were setbacks were actually setups. The battles were building us. The cross wasn’t a mistake; it was part of the mission.</p><p></p><p>This podcast invites listeners to reflect, heal, and grow. We explore how Jesus was crossed on purpose, and how our own lives echo that same pattern: pressure with a purpose, pain with a promise, and purpose hidden in the process. We don’t avoid the hard questions—we walk through them together with faith, honesty, and hope. If life has ever cut deep, if you’ve ever been crossed by people you trusted, or if your journey has felt heavy and confusing, this space reminds you:</p><p>You weren’t abandoned. You were assigned. There was purpose in every step.</p><p></p><p>Welcome to the conversation.</p><p></p>

This conversation hits a little different because we share similar roots—growing up as PKs (pastor’s kids), navigating church life, identity, expectations, and everything that comes with it.</p><p></p><p>We talk about the real stuff—finding yourself, dealing with pressure, feeling misunderstood at times, and growing through experiences that aren’t always talked about openly in church spaces. It’s honest, it’s relatable, and it’s definitely needed.</p><p></p><p>Michelle is a devoted wife and mother who keeps God at the center of it all, and her perspective brings both wisdom and transparency to the conversation.</p><p></p><p>As you listen, come with an open heart. If you’ve ever had experiences—inside or outside the church—that shaped you, challenged you, or grew you… this one’s for you.</p><p>Take a seat, join the conversation, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell so you don’t miss what’s next.</p><p></p><p><b>Key Verses to study:</b></p><p>Luke 17:11-19 (ESV)</p><p></p><p><b>Subscribe to Purposely Crossed's newsletter:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.purposelycrossed.com" target="_blank">https://www.purposelycrossed.com</a></p><p></p><p><b>To sow and support Purposely Crossed's work and ministry:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://donate.stripe.com/dRmaEY6Nl1CHblvdcG5Ne02" target="_blank">https://donate.stripe.com/dRmaEY6Nl1CHblvdcG5Ne02</a></p><p></p><p><b>Stay Connected:</b></p><p>Follow Jae & Purposely Crossed:</p><p>• Linktree: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/thejaenickerson" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/thejaenickerson</a></p><p></p><p>Follow Michelle Douglas:</p><p>•Linktree: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/mford930" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/mford930</a></p>

EP 09 “How Sexual Sin Holds You Hostage” | Purposely Crossed
<p>On this week's episode, Jae discusses the discomfort of addressing a sensitive topic, and the conviction she experienced to talk about it. Sexual immorality can have a great affect on one's life, and in this case Jae shares how it started in her childhood, led to enslavement, lustful addiction, spiritual blindness, and many other strongholds. The importance of transparency and deliverance from sexual sin is emphasized, along with the spiritual significance of being hidden in Christ, rather than hiding in crisis. This episode is <i>"unorthodox"</i> and doesn't agree with the ways of culture, but is Biblically sound, and rooted in faith.</p><p></p><p><i>_You are not alone.</i></p><p><i> If you're struggling with sexual immorality or sexual addiction, please know that you are not alone and there is no shame in seeking help. God's grace is sufficient, and healing is possible through him.</i></p><p> <i>If you need someone to talk to, reach out confidentially at ( </i><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:jcn@purposelycrossed.com" target="_blank"><b><i>jcn@purposelycrossed.com</i></b></a><b><i> </i></b><i>).</i></p><p></p><p></p><p><b>Takeaways</b></p><ul><li>The impact of sexual immorality goes beyond personal guilt and shame, it can affect spiritual intimacy and clarity of purpose.</li><li>Transparency is essential for maintaining deliverance.</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Some Key Verses to study:</b></p><p><i>-1 Corinthians 6:12-20</i></p><p><i>-Colossians 3-5</i></p><p></p><p>Chapters</p><ul><li>00:00 The Uncomfortable Conversation</li><li>11:41 The Impact of Sexual Immorality</li><li>20:19 Enslavement to Sexual Sin</li><li>27:01 The Spiritual Impact of Sexual Sin</li><li>33:26 Transparency and Deliverance</li></ul><p></p><p></p><p><b>Subscribe to Purposely Crossed's newsletter:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.purposelycrossed.com" target="_blank">https://www.purposelycrossed.com</a></p><p></p><p></p><p><b>To sow and support Purposely Crossed's work and ministry:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://donate.stripe.com/dRmaEY6Nl1CHblvdcG5Ne02" target="_blank">https://donate.stripe.com/dRmaEY6Nl1CHblvdcG5Ne02</a></p><p></p><p></p><p><b>Stay Connected with Purposely Crossed:</b></p><p>Follow Jae IG: <b>@TheJaeNickerson</b></p><p>Follow Purposely Crossed IG: <b>@PurposelyCrossedPod</b></p><p></p><p>• Linktree: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linktr.ee/thejaenickerson" target="_blank">linktr.ee/thejaenickerson</a></p><p>• YouTube: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/@thejaenickerson" target="_blank">youtube.com/@thejaenickerson</a></p><p></p>
