Untangling Sex and the Church, Part 1

Send us a text

“Let’s talk about sex… and the church.”

This week on Untangling Faith, Tammy and Laura dive deep into one of the most loaded, controversial, and misunderstood topics in Christian culture: sex.

👉 Why has the church been obsessed with controlling sexual behavior—but only certain people's?
👉 What happens when purity culture shames girls, excuses boys, and leaves everyone confused?
👉 How do unhealthy teachings about sex ripple out into silence, exploitation, and even abuse?

Pulling from personal experience, cultural observations, and real spiritual wrestling, this episode is an honest, grace-filled look at what happens when faith, sexuality, and control collide. And yes—we still find space to laugh in the middle of it.

🔍 Topics we untangle:

Purity culture, double standards & "damaged goods" theology

Christian conferences & hotel porn stats (yep, we went there)

The rise of accountability partners (for just one issue...)

Sex as sacred: pleasure, intimacy & design

Why some traditions are more vulnerable to scandal—and what that says about us

Learning to trust our bodies, our desires, and our Creator again
