How do you trust love again after it’s let you down? How do you know the difference between rushing and divine acceleration?In this powerful episode of Daring Discussions, I sit down with a couple whose story is straight from heaven’s plot twist: Shon & Clarissa Hyneman met and married in 6 months.

For the Season 3 premiere of Daring Discussions, we did something special — an intergenerational testimony service.
I am joined by three women in their 20s, 30s, and 60s, and together we all share our stories of sex, intimacy, and relationships.
Dr. Daniella Thorne, Dr. Cheryl Carr, and Sylvia Brooks sit down for a daring discussion that shows how God’s faithfulness spans every stage of life. One conversation, three generations, countless lessons.
Let’s talk about who we really are.
In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant S. Alise Moore — a licensed clinician who holds space with truth and tenderness. We’re discussing how our identity, spiritual formation, and personal history all come together (and sometimes clash) when it comes to how we see ourselves and show up in relationships.
We talk:
Confidence and embodiment (especially when the church never taught us how)
Healing from shame and identity confusion
How trauma messes with your sense of self
And what it looks like to finally find yourself
If you’ve ever wondered how to feel whole, holy, and human all at once… this #daringdiscussion is for you.
Let’s be real. Some of the deepest wounds didn’t come from the world, they came from people in the church.
In this episode, we’re getting real about the quiet harm caused by purity culture, silence around sex, and spiritual manipulation that left many of us carrying shame in our bodies and bedrooms.
We’re discussing what happens to folks who’ve been taught that desire is dirty, that modesty equals worth, and that sex is only holy when it comes with guilt. But sis… God’s design was never meant to feel like bondage.
Whether you’re deconstructing harmful beliefs, rebuilding trust in your own body, or just trying to figure out where Jesus fits in all this… this episode is for you.
We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, but we do it with tenderness, truth, and the kind of grace you deserve.
Because healing from religious trauma is holy work. And sex? It’s still sacred.
