I was a militant feminist before I was an accidental feminist. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, you say, \u201cI was a stereotypical, secular-millennial, militant feminist.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I was. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You fit the mold that you think is just kind of the common millennial mold. You would say most young women your age are feminist today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I would say so because it\u2019s the waters we swim in. We don\u2019t understand the feminism of our mother\u2019s generation in the sense that we don\u2019t remember women being encouraged to go into the workforce in the 70s and 80s; but we just kind of all have grown up in a world where \u201cAnything a man can do, I can do better,\u201d or \u201cWomen can do and achieve whatever men can achieve.\u201d Some of those achievements aren\u2019t wrong; but we\u2019ve grown up thinking, \u201cWe\u2019re equal,\u201d\u2014which means <em>same<\/em>\u2014 \u201cand we can do anything a man can do and no one can tell us otherwise.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFeminism told women they could have it all. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat we take it as is: \u201cWe can have it all right now\u201d; but we can\u2019t. We are limited human beings. So, women are given a unique timeframe where they can conceive and have children. We don\u2019t get to change that. Science has tried to change that, but that\u2019s just not reality. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that for women to understand that it\u2019s not wrong to want to do something\u2014I wanted to be a writer\u2014but to understand that there is a timeframe for those things. So, we can\u2019t have everything we want when we want it. God has created us as His image- bearers with unique roles and purposes. Some of those purposes have limitations\u2014we\u2019re limited beings. We\u2019re not God. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Explain to our listeners how you, as a young woman, thought. Unpack what it means to be a feminist. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, I grew up in a home with all brothers. My parents are believers. They did not allow me to be one of the boys with my brothers in a good way. They really encouraged\u2014my mom always said: \u201cYou\u2019re a girl. You\u2019re their sister. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cYou\u2019re different.\u201d\u00a0 So, my brothers could not wrestle with me in the same way they wrestled with each other. They had to hold the door open for me and my mom. Those were things that I learned at a young age\u2014that there was a way we interacted with each other that was different, and good, and God-created. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut I\u2014like so many other kids and women in my generation\u2014I just ate up this whole: \u201cI can do anything you can do.\u201d\u00a0 I was a fairly independent person, and I have always been a <em>follower<\/em>\u2014so, I don\u2019t like being different. I don\u2019t like going against the fray\u2014which, now, I am with this book. So, I suppose the Lord has redeemed that in my life. [Laughter]\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, then, my first years of college\u2014I was not a believer, and I was an English major. I was in literary theory classes where we were studying various types of theories. The feminist theory just really stood out to me\u2014of reading every book from the angle of the oppression of women. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI really viewed women as this oppressed gender that needed to be freed from the tyranny of men. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And yet, you were conflicted because you were attracted to guys?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I was. I liked being liked, and I liked men; but I didn\u2019t really want them to control or dictate me. I didn\u2019t have an interest in being married to them; but like most women, I was willing to live with them. I was willing to act like I was married to them, but I didn\u2019t want them controlling me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>Now, wait!\u00a0 You grew up in a pastor\u2019s home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, my dad became a pastor when I was in early college\u2014yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>But you grew up being taught\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes, I did. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014a biblical way of thinking.

We were not in church in high school. That was kind of this\u2014kind of years of wandering for our family. So, we weren\u2019t in church or youth group. We were toward the end of high school. The only way I can think of it was I just really liked the world. The world seemed way more appealing to me than the things of the Lord. I\u2019ve always been pretty independent and pretty rebellious\u2014and so\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Actually, your vocation\u2014didn\u2019t you have an interesting job?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes, I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time. After high school, I went to a community college. A lot of my friends went away to school. Because I\u2019ve always really enjoyed people and really enjoyed having friends, I didn\u2019t like that I didn\u2019t have friends who were in town all the time anymore. So, I just adapted to the people who I worked with; and they liked me, and I liked them.

About six months before I hit bottom, my parents had been listening to a sermon series on parenting. They had felt convicted that, maybe, they had exasperated me and contributed to some frustration I had with them. So, they called me to repent\u2014I mean, out of the blue. I remember where I was\u2014I was sitting at my boyfriend\u2019s house in his room. They called and said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been listening to this sermon series. We wanted to apologize to you for how we, maybe, led to you leaving.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think, just out of the blue, I just blurted out, \u201cCan I come home and visit?\u201d\u00a0 It just like came out of me. They said, \u201cWell, let us pray about it, and we\u2019ll call you back.\u201d\u00a0 So, they called me back that night and said, \u201cYes, you can come visit, and we\u2019ll pay for it.\u201d I was living in Dallas at the time, and they were living in upper Michigan.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI flew up there to see them.

They looked nervous. You could tell\u2014they were rushing in and looked nervous. I don\u2019t even remember if we hugged or not.

I know she wanted to just say, \u201cJust break up with him and come home,\u201d but they didn\u2019t want me to come home just to come home. They wanted me to come home repentant or, at least, broken in some capacity. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>What happened six months after you spent the time with your parents?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, once contact had been reestablished, they felt that the Lord was moving in them to continue with this contact.

They were like: \u201cWell, we\u2019ll come for that.\u201d\u00a0 They, I know, were praying that somehow I would change or want to move home or something. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSomething shifted when I went\u2014that I thought my life was pretty good\u2014but my dad and my brothers were really kind to me. I didn\u2019t realize how poorly I was being treated by my boyfriend and the men in my life back home. So, there was a stark contrast between where I was with my family, and then, going back home. I just forgot what it was like to be treated with kindness. That really stood out to me of just\u2014even my dad holding my bag for me \/ my suitcase. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI had been so\u2014\u201cI can do it myself.\u201d\u00a0 And my boyfriend had just as much bought into the \u201cWomen can do anything men can do,\u201d attitude that why would he even help me with anything because \u201cWomen can do anything men can do.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe talked, periodically, about school\u2014very surface-level things. Then, my relationship with my boyfriend really just got kind of rocky after that. I think, obviously, it was the Lord. I mean, it was never a great relationship; but I\u2019d been with him for over a year at that point. So, I moved to school with him. I had been going to community college\u2014went to a state school\u2014and life just fell apart when I got there. I wasn\u2019t making any money at the restaurant I was working at. I was barely making ends meet; and we were fighting all the time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think, one night, I just decided: \u201cI\u2019m going to break up with him. I just can\u2019t deal with this anymore.\u201d So, I broke up with him. I called my parents the next morning, very hung over.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy life was pretty much drinking a lot of alcohol that I consumed. I think a lot of that was to mask the guilt that I felt, and that had begun to really seep into my life. So, I called my parents\u2014and I know that was the Lord. I knew that if I said, \u201cI want to come home,\u201d\u2014I wasn\u2019t repentant, and they knew that\u2014but they said: \u201cOkay, you can come home. You can move home now.\u201d They started the plans of my moving home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, I got mono like a week later and ended up in the hospital. My parents basically coordinated for me to have care. Over Thanksgiving, they got a ride for me to Dallas so I could go stay with Mom\u2019s best friend; and they just cared for me. My dad flew down to Dallas. Then, was going to rent a car or had a car\u2014the car died. So, he took a Greyhound bus from Dallas to San Marcos, which is about three hours. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember him saying: \u201cI\u2019m going to get to you.

I was completely helpless, but I wasn\u2019t repentant. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That did not break your heart?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>No. No, I\u2019m really stubborn; but it helped because, again, my dad continued to just love me so well. He stayed in my dorm with me. He made me eat because I was sick, and I wasn\u2019t eating. I had lost a lot of weight. He went to the cafeteria with me every day and would fill my plate up and say, \u201cYou need to eat this,\u201d\u2014and packed my stuff up \/ went to my boyfriend\u2019s house, and packed most of my stuff up because a lot of it was there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>The thing that really broke me, though, was\u2014there was a guy, who I was hanging out with, who was in one of my classes. I went to a fraternity party with him as his date. I\u2014because I was a feminist, and believed women could do anything men could do, and believed that it didn\u2019t matter how you lived\u2014I lived promiscuously.

I think I had told him I wasn\u2019t going to do anything with him beyond what we\u2019d already done, but I got so drunk I didn\u2019t remember. I woke up next to him one morning. For the first time in almost two years, I felt guilty. I was like: \u201cWhy do I feel guilty?\u00a0 I haven\u2019t\u2014this is the same thing that I\u2019ve always done. Why do I feel so guilty all of a sudden?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI got back to my dorm, and he tried to call me a few times. I called my mom, and I told her what happened. I said: \u201cI feel guilty. I don\u2019t remember what happened, and I feel guilty.\u201d\u00a0 She told me, \u201cHoney, Christ can take all of that away.\u201d\u00a0 I think that was the moment where I finally realized: \u201cI can\u2019t live like this anymore. I can\u2019t live like there is not morality. I can\u2019t live like rules don\u2019t matter, and I can\u2019t live like there is not eternity on the end of this.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was a long process of moving home.

I was a militant feminist before I was an accidental feminist. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, you say, \u201cI was a stereotypical, secular-millennial, militant feminist.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I was. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You fit the mold that you think is just kind of the common millennial mold. You would say most young women your age are feminist today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I would say so because it\u2019s the waters we swim in. We don\u2019t understand the feminism of our mother\u2019s generation in the sense that we don\u2019t remember women being encouraged to go into the workforce in the 70s and 80s; but we just kind of all have grown up in a world where \u201cAnything a man can do, I can do better,\u201d or \u201cWomen can do and achieve whatever men can achieve.\u201d Some of those achievements aren\u2019t wrong; but we\u2019ve grown up thinking, \u201cWe\u2019re equal,\u201d\u2014which means <em>same<\/em>\u2014 \u201cand we can do anything a man can do and no one can tell us otherwise.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFeminism told women they could have it all. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat we take it as is: \u201cWe can have it all right now\u201d; but we can\u2019t. We are limited human beings. So, women are given a unique timeframe where they can conceive and have children. We don\u2019t get to change that. Science has tried to change that, but that\u2019s just not reality. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think that for women to understand that it\u2019s not wrong to want to do something\u2014I wanted to be a writer\u2014but to understand that there is a timeframe for those things. So, we can\u2019t have everything we want when we want it. God has created us as His image- bearers with unique roles and purposes. Some of those purposes have limitations\u2014we\u2019re limited beings. We\u2019re not God. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Explain to our listeners how you, as a young woman, thought. Unpack what it means to be a feminist. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, I grew up in a home with all brothers. My parents are believers. They did not allow me to be one of the boys with my brothers in a good way. They really encouraged\u2014my mom always said: \u201cYou\u2019re a girl. You\u2019re their sister. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cYou\u2019re different.\u201d\u00a0 So, my brothers could not wrestle with me in the same way they wrestled with each other. They had to hold the door open for me and my mom. Those were things that I learned at a young age\u2014that there was a way we interacted with each other that was different, and good, and God-created. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut I\u2014like so many other kids and women in my generation\u2014I just ate up this whole: \u201cI can do anything you can do.\u201d\u00a0 I was a fairly independent person, and I have always been a <em>follower<\/em>\u2014so, I don\u2019t like being different. I don\u2019t like going against the fray\u2014which, now, I am with this book. So, I suppose the Lord has redeemed that in my life. [Laughter]\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, then, my first years of college\u2014I was not a believer, and I was an English major. I was in literary theory classes where we were studying various types of theories. The feminist theory just really stood out to me\u2014of reading every book from the angle of the oppression of women. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI really viewed women as this oppressed gender that needed to be freed from the tyranny of men. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And yet, you were conflicted because you were attracted to guys?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>I was. I liked being liked, and I liked men; but I didn\u2019t really want them to control or dictate me. I didn\u2019t have an interest in being married to them; but like most women, I was willing to live with them. I was willing to act like I was married to them, but I didn\u2019t want them controlling me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>Now, wait!\u00a0 You grew up in a pastor\u2019s home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, my dad became a pastor when I was in early college\u2014yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>But you grew up being taught\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes, I did. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014a biblical way of thinking.

We were not in church in high school. That was kind of this\u2014kind of years of wandering for our family. So, we weren\u2019t in church or youth group. We were toward the end of high school. The only way I can think of it was I just really liked the world. The world seemed way more appealing to me than the things of the Lord. I\u2019ve always been pretty independent and pretty rebellious\u2014and so\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Actually, your vocation\u2014didn\u2019t you have an interesting job?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes, I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time. After high school, I went to a community college. A lot of my friends went away to school. Because I\u2019ve always really enjoyed people and really enjoyed having friends, I didn\u2019t like that I didn\u2019t have friends who were in town all the time anymore. So, I just adapted to the people who I worked with; and they liked me, and I liked them.

I\u2014my mom bought me Christmas gifts every year and kept them. When I reestablished contact, I got all those Christmas gifts\u2014which I just think is a sweet testimony of how much she hoped that I would come back. But I remember thinking, \u201cIt\u2019s not the same,\u201d\u2014like it wasn\u2019t <em>my<\/em> family Christmas \/ like it wasn\u2019t what <em>we<\/em> did. I remember being kind of: \u201cOh!

My parents would always say: \u201cWhy are you calling us?\u00a0 Are you calling us because you\u2019re lonely, or are you calling us because you recognize that you are living in sin and you need Christ?\u201d\u2014which was the way I needed to come home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>They put it that bottom-line to you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Dennis asked about hitting bottom. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob: <\/strong>When did that happen?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, it was a slow process. About six months before I hit bottom, my parents had been listening to a sermon series on parenting. They had felt convicted that, maybe, they had exasperated me and contributed to some frustration I had with them. So, they called me to repent\u2014I mean, out of the blue. I remember where I was\u2014I was sitting at my boyfriend\u2019s house in his room. They called and said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been listening to this sermon series. We wanted to apologize to you for how we, maybe, led to you leaving.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think, just out of the blue, I just blurted out, \u201cCan I come home and visit?\u201d\u00a0 It just like came out of me. They said, \u201cWell, let us pray about it, and we\u2019ll call you back.\u201d\u00a0 So, they called me back that night and said, \u201cYes, you can come visit, and we\u2019ll pay for it.\u201d I was living in Dallas at the time, and they were living in upper Michigan.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI flew up there to see them.

They looked nervous. You could tell\u2014they were rushing in and looked nervous. I don\u2019t even remember if we hugged or not.

They said\u2014when I left, they knew I wasn\u2019t broken\u2014and they said: \u201cShe needs some more breaking. Something else has to happen.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd we\u2014I remember my mom helped me pack. I know, for her, it was hard because she\u2014they knew, as long as I was with the guy I was dating, it wasn\u2019t going to change. I know she wanted to just say, \u201cJust break up with him and come home,\u201d but they didn\u2019t want me to come home just to come home. They wanted me to come home repentant or, at least, broken in some capacity. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>What happened six months after you spent the time with your parents?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>Well, once contact had been reestablished, they felt that the Lord was moving in them to continue with this contact. They invited me home for Thanksgiving\u2014so, we had planned for that. I, at the time, knew my graduation from college was going to be probably a year-and-a-half out. They were like: \u201cWell, we\u2019ll come for that.\u201d\u00a0 They, I know, were praying that somehow I would change or want to move home or something. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSomething shifted when I went\u2014that I thought my life was pretty good\u2014but my dad and my brothers were really kind to me. I didn\u2019t realize how poorly I was being treated by my boyfriend and the men in my life back home. So, there was a stark contrast between where I was with my family, and then, going back home. I just forgot what it was like to be treated with kindness. That really stood out to me of just\u2014even my dad holding my bag for me \/ my suitcase. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI had been so\u2014\u201cI can do it myself.\u201d\u00a0 And my boyfriend had just as much bought into the \u201cWomen can do anything men can do,\u201d attitude that why would he even help me with anything because \u201cWomen can do anything men can do.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe talked, periodically, about school\u2014very surface-level things. Then, my relationship with my boyfriend really just got kind of rocky after that. I think, obviously, it was the Lord. I mean, it was never a great relationship; but I\u2019d been with him for over a year at that point. So, I moved to school with him. I had been going to community college\u2014went to a state school\u2014and life just fell apart when I got there. I wasn\u2019t making any money at the restaurant I was working at. I was barely making ends meet; and we were fighting all the time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think, one night, I just decided: \u201cI\u2019m going to break up with him. I just can\u2019t deal with this anymore.\u201d So, I broke up with him. I called my parents the next morning, very hung over.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy life was pretty much drinking a lot of alcohol that I consumed. I think a lot of that was to mask the guilt that I felt, and that had begun to really seep into my life. So, I called my parents\u2014and I know that was the Lord. I knew that if I said, \u201cI want to come home,\u201d\u2014I wasn\u2019t repentant, and they knew that\u2014but they said: \u201cOkay, you can come home. You can move home now.\u201d They started the plans of my moving home. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, I got mono like a week later and ended up in the hospital. My parents basically coordinated for me to have care. Over Thanksgiving, they got a ride for me to Dallas so I could go stay with Mom\u2019s best friend; and they just cared for me. My dad flew down to Dallas. Then, was going to rent a car or had a car\u2014the car died. So, he took a Greyhound bus from Dallas to San Marcos, which is about three hours. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember him saying: \u201cI\u2019m going to get to you.

I was completely helpless, but I wasn\u2019t repentant. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That did not break your heart?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Courtney: <\/strong>No. No, I\u2019m really stubborn; but it helped because, again, my dad continued to just love me so well. He stayed in my dorm with me. He made me eat because I was sick, and I wasn\u2019t eating. I had lost a lot of weight. He went to the cafeteria with me every day and would fill my plate up and say, \u201cYou need to eat this,\u201d\u2014and packed my stuff up \/ went to my boyfriend\u2019s house, and packed most of my stuff up because a lot of it was there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>The thing that really broke me, though, was\u2014there was a guy, who I was hanging out with, who was in one of my classes. I went to a fraternity party with him as his date. I\u2014because I was a feminist, and believed women could do anything men could do, and believed that it didn\u2019t matter how you lived\u2014I lived promiscuously. I didn\u2019t care. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, I went to the date party with him. I think I had told him I wasn\u2019t going to do anything with him beyond what we\u2019d already done, but I got so drunk I didn\u2019t remember. I woke up next to him one morning. For the first time in almost two years, I felt guilty. I was like: \u201cWhy do I feel guilty?\u00a0 I haven\u2019t\u2014this is the same thing that I\u2019ve always done. Why do I feel so guilty all of a sudden?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI got back to my dorm, and he tried to call me a few times. I called my mom, and I told her what happened. I said: \u201cI feel guilty. I don\u2019t remember what happened, and I feel guilty.\u201d\u00a0 She told me, \u201cHoney, Christ can take all of that away.\u201d\u00a0 I think that was the moment where I finally realized: \u201cI can\u2019t live like this anymore. I can\u2019t live like there is not morality. I can\u2019t live like rules don\u2019t matter, and I can\u2019t live like there is not eternity on the end of this.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was a long process of moving home. My parents really kind of discipling me\u2014I was too sick to go to school that semester\u2014so, I lived at home for six months. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI didn\u2019t really know how to read my Bible.

I remember asking my dad: \u201cWell, what should I read?\u201d\u00a0 He said, \u201cJust start in Genesis.\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cOkay;\u201d and I started in Genesis. Then, I would just come ask him all these questions after I would read books of the Bible. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI worked a little bit; but I had all this time to just really rest, and to reconnect with my family, and to grow in the Scriptures.

So, I\u2014yes, I can\u2019t pinpoint an exact moment; but I know, from that moment on, I didn\u2019t want to live the way I was living before.
