For decades, religion and the purity culture movement have told us a lot of things about female sexuality that are quite simply untrue. The problem is that the lies come packaged with many beautiful (albeit false) promises and are often served with good intentions, so it is difficult to recognize them as being lies until a lot of damage has already been done. These toxic teachings are wreaking havoc on Western culture, and because many of the ideologies are so familiar that they have become an ingrained part of our subconscious, the influence often goes far beyond what we realize.

In this episode, Char, Josh, and Liv are joined by Linda Kay Klein, author of the book Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. They talk about the common threads we all experience as a repercussion of these damaging beliefs, and share some of the ways they and others are healing from religious trauma to embody the fullness of their whole selves, including their sexuality.
