Linda Kay Klein, author of PURE, and
I talk all things purity culture in evangelicalism. We define what
purity culture is, how deeply it is embedded in both the culture
and our psyche as young women growing up in it. Linda shares the
science behind why it takes a long time for many of us to break
free. Of course, we also cover parenting and how we can raise our
girls, and boys, to dismantle Patriarchy, and introduce better sex
education. And we dove into the dark subject of sexual assault and
how frequently cover ups occur in evangelical churches.
This is a deep dive into purity culture, full of Linda’s rich
insights. I’m sure you will find the conversation illuminating and
help light a better path forward.
