Getting Schooled - Purity Culture 101

Purity culture promised Christians that following the rules would lead to a happy marriage, great sex, and a trouble-free life. Kaitlyn and Skye examine how fear, consumer Christianity, and a sexual prosperity gospel distorted biblical teaching about holiness, bodies, and self-control. They also consider what purity culture got right, where its critics can overcorrect, and how Christians can recover a healthier sexual ethic rooted in wisdom, grace, and redemption.
