The Pure Truth of Purity Culture
from Liberate Your Story Podcast · host Jessicah Travis
I was a teen in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. I was a committed member of Purity Culture. I could have been a poster child for the movement if there had been one other than Joshua Harris. Purity Culture suited me in more ways than I understood back then. It was safe and actionable. It had outcomes and it felt really good to be good.Here’s the thing though. I have spent over 27 years recovering and healing from it. It wrecked me. And not in a holy and good kind of way. It stole from me. It stole my femininity, my sexuality, my wholeness. It created in me a human on a mission to destroy and bury a part of who I was.I’d love to unravel the language, identities, terms, practices, and beliefs that make you feel stuck or even oppressed. So leave me a voicemail at 608-55-STORY. I want to hear from you!Jessicah is a Life Coach helping women liberate their stories so they are free to live the fullest life they can dream of.
