Ep. 24: The Push For Pedophilia

Ep. 24: The Push For Pedophilia

Welcome back! TRIGGER WARNING

This episode Steph & Liz discuss what's been going on with the new Netflix movie "cuties" and how social media has been accepting of the exploitation of children. They also discuss how child exploitation has now become something that seems to be accepted especially on certain platforms such as tok tok. The push for pedophilia is real and evident in today's culture, it's time to bring what's in the darkness to light. 

It's definitely a heavier topic but we MUST spread awareness and as christians be able to have open and honest conversations.
