Manage episode 472155730 series 3635282
Kristen and Alexis dive into their experiences growing up in the height of purity culture—also known as the True Love Waits movement. From youth group pledges to fear-based messaging that framed sex as the ultimate sin, they explore how these teachings shaped their views on relationships, intimacy, and self-worth. They also reflect on the lingering effects of shame in marriage and discuss what healing and reclaiming a healthier perspective on sex looks like. Whether you grew up in a conservative church or just want to understand the impact of purity culture, this conversation is real, raw, and full of personal insights.
