It describes how girls—sometimes shockingly young—are conditioned, encouraged, and even rewarded to define their value by sexual attractiveness and behaviors, long before they’re mature enough to grasp the meaning or consequences. For followers of Christ, this reality calls [...]
Today’s culture screams for attention at every turn. Scrolling through social media, flipping through fashion magazines, or even walking through the mall shows a clear trend: young women being encouraged to reveal more and more skin.

In churches all across America, a silent epidemic has taken hold—one that rarely makes the headlines but quietly affects millions of lives. It’s not a new virus or a political movement.
