Untwisting the Twisted | ACW229

I've been doing Exodus 90 for the past few years. One of the ascetic practices involves only listening to music that lifts the soul to God. Is this asceticism opposed to listening to popular/secular music? I'm a 22 year old woman in college that has struggled with pornography for a few years. I've realized how porn has affected the way I see my boyfriend whom I'm planning to marry. I'm afraid of entering into marriage with these wounds. Do you have any advice? My daugher and I attended one of your Made for More events and she was deeply moved by one of the sculptures displayed. Could you tell us more about it?
