What Did Purity Culture Get Wrong...AND Right?

from Maybe God · host Eric Huffman

The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy―its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules. In this interview, Eric chats with celebrated author Rachel Joy Welcher about purity culture's effects on her own journey with sex and marriage. Rachel also carefully examines purity culture's teachings through the lens of Scripture and offers practical advice for the Christians attempting to navigate heated debates about LGBT+ relationships, premarital sex, and more.
