The girlies allow themselves to be ministered to by two God-fearing Christian women via a book titled, "Sex, Purity, and the Longings of a Girl's Heart: Discovering the Beauty and Freedom of God-Defined Sexuality."   By Bethany Beal and Kristen Clark

sources for when the ministry didn't hit as deep and we needed to result to science:

The girls are being honest about their very human limitations and we hope you're doing the same, wherever you are. <3 

We'll be back on March 29th with our much-hyped Girl Defined episode.

Ma'any read Teal Swan's The Connection Process and tells us about it so maybe one day, we too can experience love like Teal's. This is one of the first episodes we ever recorded so if the quality isn't perfect... that's why. Be patient with us, we do this for free.

Our title song is "Starchild" by Dave Malloy
