We're peeling back the layers of the often misunderstood ‘purity culture’ movement of the 80s and 90s, exploring how it shaped the church's teachings on sex, relationships, and intimacy. We also discuss uncomfortable wedding moments and harmful church scandals, underlining that our sexuality is not a sin, but a divine gift.

Ever wondered if the church's expectations of celibacy are causing more harm than good? We have too, and that's why we're discussing it. Our deep dive into biblical marriage and healthy sexuality contrasts ancient customs with modern realities, questioning the wisdom of prolonged abstinence and its potential to foster unhealthy power dynamics. The real kicker, though, is our discussion on what healthy sexuality looks like within the biblical context, and how constructive conversations on this topic can help combat harmful narratives.

Lastly, we're taking on the responsibility of how to discuss sexuality with teenagers. From showing grace to understanding the difference between sex and sexuality, we're providing practical guidance for navigating such conversations. We also tackle the stigma around sex and marriage in conservative Christian circles, emphasizing the importance of dismantling prejudices to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their sexuality.
