Sex is Awesome! - God created sex, and it is awesome! He wants it to be awesome for you—He really does! But great sex comes with boundaries that protect your health, your heart, and your spirit. In this first video of her seven-part series, “Love Lessons,” Pam Stenzel talks about the one perfect boundary that keeps sex safe, uncomplicated, and satisfying. This boundary will give you freedom that leads to respect, intimacy, and trust with the one to whom you can safely give your whole heart. Topics include: • sex is awesome • sex • boundaries • consequences • unintended pregnancy • marriage • relationship with God • sacrament • covenant • “I didn’t know” • decisions. ©2020

Pregnancy is Not a Disease - What is treated like the biggest “disease” of most sexually active teens and single young adults? Pregnancy! Newsflash: Pregnancy’s not a disease—it’s what your body was intended to do! The real fear should be sexually transmitted diseases!

STD/STIs are an epidemic in our country, and many cause infertility, cancer, and even death. In this third video of her seven-part series, “Love Lessons,” Pam Stenzel breaks down the different STD/STIs, both viral and bacterial, incurable and curable, along with the heavy costs they have on your health, heart, and life.

Do you feel like a hamster on a wheel, never getting anywhere with love? Why does that happen? How can you change it? Change starts first by looking at yourself. We often attract exactly what we are and not what we pretend to be. In this fourth video of her seven-part series, “Love Lessons,” Pam Stenzel breaks down character, how to be the person you want to attract, how to build integrity, and where it all starts! So, throw away that dating app and swipe right to a better you!

Dangers of Porn - Spoiler alert: Pornography is not harmless. Did you really think it was? Most porn shows strong images of violence against women and sends the terrible message that sex is about violence, power, and crushing women. Is this what you want your guy to think? It also teaches young women to accept abuse, violence, and pain. In the fifth video of her seven-part series, “Love Lessons,” Pam Stenzel takes a hard look at how porn, sexting, and some dating apps are hurting our relationships and changing our culture in negative ways. Topics include: • pornography • cybersex • devalues people • dehumanizes people • crushing women • violence • porn addiction • sexting • dating apps • sexually explicit photos • intimacy • relationships. ©2020

Your Heart - Have you been hurt over and over again by your choices? Do you feel hopeless when it comes to love? Well, there is hope and healing when it comes to your heart, and it starts with Jesus. In the sixth video of her seven-part series, “Love Lessons,” Pam Stenzel lays out a plan of hope and healing through stories of women in the Bible who were hurt by their poor choices, and the forgiveness they received from their Savior. Forgiveness and change are yours for the asking. Topics include: • your heart • sex • marriage • your soul • healing • hope • forgiveness • grace of God • woman at the well • woman in adultery • recycled virgin. ©2020
