Ep 1240 | TikTok’s Spicy Novels Are Warping Women’s Minds
from Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey · host Blaze Podcast Network
Today, we expose the dark world of steamy romance novels, from violent “smut” like “50 Shades of Grey” to monster fantasies, luring women into dopamine-fueled addiction. Online discussions like BookTok are fueling Gen Z's addiction to erotic literature. We unpack their psychological and spiritual harm, fueling discontent and demonic delusions. Join us to reject this cultural poison and pursue the purity and satisfaction found only in Christ, guarding our hearts for God’s glory. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!
