Today I am joined by Denver, who is an incredible example of Christlike charity.
Denver's story is raw, real, and full of hope. She was first exposed to pornography at age 10, spent years trapped in shame and addiction while publicly renouncing her faith in high school, battled severe depression and suicidal ideation, and finally rededicated her life to Christ in 2023. She has now been clean from pornography for over a year and is using her story to mentor other young women both online and in person at her church.
This episode is one of my favorites. Denver does not hold back — and I think that is exactly what someone who has been carrying this alone for years needs to hear.
In this episode we talk about:
What it felt like to be exposed at age 10 and not understand what was happening
Growing up in church hearing this topic only directed at guys and sinking in her seat
How bullying, depression, and rejection fueled her addiction as a coping mechanism
What it looked like to publicly renounce Christianity in high school while still feeling pulled back to God
The moment at a young adults conference that finally broke the silence after ten years
What happened when she told her parents — and how completely opposite it was from what she feared
Why she was angry at God for forgiving her and what shifted that
The difference between shame and conviction — and why not feeling shame after a slip is actually a sign that God is present
What it means to want to be chosen by someone and how God's love meets that need
How to find the right person to confess to — and why discernment matters more than timing
Why nothing you have done can undo what Jesus did on the cross
Scriptures and references mentioned:
Romans 8 — nothing can separate us from the love of God
Hebrews 4 — since He was tempted in every way and did not sin He is our aid in temptation
Isaiah 49:16 — behold I have engraved thee upon the palms of my hands
Job — who are you to dictate what God can and cannot do
Isaiah — how could the clay say to the potter what it deserves
Hosea — God's relentless pursuit of His people no matter how many times they turn away
1 John 1:9 — He is faithful and righteous to cleanse us of all unrighteousness

"Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet" | Avery's Story
Today, I am joined by my friend and former mission bud, Avery Palenske. She's a 21-year-old BYU student from Alaska with one of the most honest, beautiful, and real stories I have ever heard.
In this episode, she bravely shares her full journey — from a habit that started in childhood, to finding literary pornography through Pinterest at 12, to feeling like a complete imposter as the star child of her stake, to struggling on her mission, to finally opening up and discovering she was not alone.
She is still in the middle of her journey. And that's what makes this episode so powerful.
Scriptures mentioned:
Isaiah 1:18
Jeremiah 29:11
Doctrine and Covenants 138
Thanks for coming on Avery, you're incredible. :)

Denver's Story | You Are Not A Defect
Published 10 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Like I have Jesus. I have all that I need. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. I love like Christ, you know, when he encounters like the woman in the well, right. And that interaction. And he talks about like, I am the living water. And like, when you drink from me, like you will never thirst. And I think that that's so true. And it's, It's not that we never thirst because nothing in our life ever goes wrong ever again, right? […]
