Jihya spent five years working as an exotic dancer, thinking she was living her best life (until it became painfully obvious that she wasn’t.) During those dark years, God encountered Jihya at the club where she worked! Even after finding faith, she remained in that lifestyle, yet God still showed her love and walked beside her.
More than a decade later, Jihya is a mother-baby nurse, married, and a mama. She recently started a ministry for women in the commercial sex industry in Portland, Oregon: the city with the most strip clubs per capita in the United States. There are hardly any Christian ministries that support sex industry workers due to stigma and shame. In this episode, Jihya shares how believers need to meet adult industry workers where they are and build relationships from a place of love, not judgment!
