Once upon a time, purity culture promised young Christian girls that all they had to do was save themselves for marriage and their lives would be happily ever after. However, decades later the fairytale of purity culture has turned into a nightmare of consequences for millennial and Gen X Christian women carrying the abuse and pain from a man-made construct that failed to focus on God’s truth.
Join Barb for her conversation with Dr. Camden Morgante as they discuss the 5 myths of purity culture and give voice to the spoken and unspoken pain that many of you experience today whether it’s sexual dysfunction within a marriage, shame from premarital sex or perhaps even broken marriages because of the toxic purity culture indoctrination as teenagers.
Our prayer is that you find hope, healing and freedom from today's conversation and can move forward with both confidence to believe that you are loved and conviction to live in a way that honors our good God.
