Christian Purity Culture

Eve joins Joshed Raw (Josh) on Gods of Tomorrow to discuss her upbringing in the charismatic church, where her family was managing the church and had her heavily involved in worship services. She talks about the fear and anxiety associated with the teachings in the church and how she thought pursuing God would lead to peace; instead, it led to her deconstruction and eventually atheism. Josh and Eve explore the dangers of purity culture and its impact on the psychological and emotional health of teens which not only impacts intimacy in adulthood but also an individual's sense of self. The episode concludes with Eve talking about her support, the importance of community, and the healing journey that occurred in finding herself absent of the Christian faith.
