"Talking Back to Purity Culture" with Rachel Joy Welcher (Episode 28)

Who here has ever felt shame when attending a purity conference? Or felt embarrassed ever talking about sex, no matter who the conversation is with?This week we have the author of Talking Back to Purity Culture, Rachel Joy Welcher to discuss just how toxic and unbiblical the purity culture movement was when it first started. Rachel and our host, Lydia Summer, discuss how this movement put a lot of pressure on women to make sure not to cause their Christian brothers to stumble, the harmful nature in which men and women feel shame in regards to their sexuality, what biblical purity actually looks like according to God, and how we can love those who are SSA and how to include them in conversations when it comes to purity in the Church.That, and a whole lot more, is coming up in this episode! We hope you'll find encouragement through Rachel and Lydia's conversation.
