Addicted to the Story: When Romance Becomes a Counterfeit with Elise Orozco
from The Heidi St. John Podcast · host Heidi St. John
You guys, this is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time. My guest today, Elise Orozco, is joining me to talk about something that’s quietly affecting a lot of women—erotica and so-called “romance” fiction. Elise shares her honest story of how it pulled her in, what it did to her marriage and walk with the Lord, and how God set her free. We’re talking about why this matters, what it does to our hearts, and how to find true intimacy the way God designed it. It’s a powerful and hope-filled conversation you don’t want to miss.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
