  • "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.”

  • "Finding Magdala was a huge blessing that came into my life at my lowest moment of deep addiction and shame. Through the loving community of women that I met in this group, I was able to peel back layers and layers of lies that were caused by the evil of pornography addiction. I was able to replace these lies with the truth that I am loved, I am worthy of love, and I am capable of loving others. I learned that I am not a slave to my addiction, but a warrior. And even better, I realized that I am not alone in this fight."
