Purity Culture: What Went Right and Wrong

Purity Culture: What Went Right and Wrong

Ep. 012 – When did Christians start talking about virginity and purity like it was the most important thing? When did sex become the big “no-no?” And how did purity culture become such a hot button issue? Kristen and Bethany both grew up in the height of the purity movement. Purity rings and true love waits were a part of their young adult years. They both had purity rings and both advocated for things like… saving your first kiss until marriage. Their insight on the issue of sex, purity and purity culture come from a unqiue perspective. Having grown up in the movement they speak from personal experience, as well as bring biblical insight to the table. 

In today’s episode, Kristen and Bethany debunk three false narratives about purity and unpack the truth of what God actually says about sex.
