UR 161: Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot — Mo Isom

Tray and Melody are joined by Mo Isom to talk her books, Jesus, tough conversations, and her own undone redone story. Mo, Mel and Tray discuss parenting kids to have a healthy view on sex and purity.  Mo talks through her undoing story of identity issues, eating disorder struggles, loss, grief and brokenness. She tells us of how she reached her rock bottom and from that moment forward God has totally changed her life and what she had planned. She lets us in on how she went through season of isolation and she went through a season of fasting to totally dive into what the Lord was telling her to do. That meant stepping away from families and settings that she was comfortable with, but how this allowed her to step into true friendship, true community and the true calling God had her life. Mo has written two books Wreck My Life: Journeying from Broken to Bold and Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. Her books have reached thousands of people worldwide and her messages of hope, transformation and timely, Holy Spirit-lead revelation have been featured on, at and in Convocation at Liberty University, The Grove at Passion City Church, The Gospel Coalition, MGM's light workers.com, Life Today, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey, YouthWorker Magazine, and countless other platforms. Mo discusses a poem she wrote around the time 50 shades of grey came out in which God made her bold to share the truth that was on her heart. You can find that poem here. http://moisom.com/50-shades-of-grace/ Mo is a New York Times bestselling author, a nationally sought-after speaker and a zealous voice rising up for her generation.
