Dr Jennifer Roback Morsesites.libsyn.com
The Sexual Revolution has been going on for our entire lives and it has left a trail of destruction. There is hardly an institution in our modern society that has been left untouched: education, therapy, medicine, big tech, the pharmaceutical professions and even the church. You might feel hopeless and confused by the contradictory messages and damaging effects. Don't worry. The Ruth Institute provides decades of research and sound thinking to help you navigate our world and help heal your family. Join us as we work to build a civilization of love!
