Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women of faith struggling with sexual addiction.
Porn and masturbation ruined the way I saw God, others, and myself, but relationships have been my path to restoration.
It's almost as if holiness and mission aren’t supposed to be separated from the things that bring me life. It’s almost as if holiness and mission are the path that bring me life.
Let us seek refuge in Him who wants to be in communion with us, and let it bear fruit.
What I remember fiercely about the times I struggled most with pornography is not the shame or guilt, but how completely consumed I was by my desire to feel loved.
We can’t see the whole plan; we have no idea how our life will turn out, and the devil knows this.
Everything the enemy meant for destruction, the Lord uses for redemption.
When I began my recovery journey and finally stopped habitually sinning—even though I had healed in many ways—nothing was enough.
St. Maria Goretti’s legacy is not how hard she fought while someone tried to rape her. It’s in the moments afterwards.
Submission doesn’t mean blind obedience, it means bringing our whole selves to participate in God’s expansive love.
"Magdala was, and still is, crucial to my healing; it has allowed me to rebuild my self-identity when pornography had slowly chipped it away...no woman dealing with sexual sin could ever regret being in a Magdala small group. It may even save their life—I know it saved mine.”
"Magdala has allowed me to grow in ways I never thought possible."
"Finding Magdala was a huge blessing that came at my lowest moment of addiction and shame. Through the loving community of women I met in this group, I was able to peel back layers of lies caused by the evil of pornography addiction, and replace them with truth: that I am loved, I am worthy of love, and I am capable of loving others. I learned I am not a slave to my addiction, but a warrior. And even better, I realized I am not alone in this fight."
"This ministry has made way for God to break down the walls of my heart and heal many wounds...I've had a front row seat to see the glory of God unfold as Magdala strives to transform shame into renewed identity, changing the narrative on how women view themselves and their sexuality."
No one wants to admit they’re a victim, and in less than a year I became one of two different evils.
