In this week's episode, we have questions about purity culture. Listen in on our discussion with Melinda Bush, a pastor's daughter and pastor's wife who was a teen/young adult during the height of the purity culture movement. We talk about her connections to the purity movement, and the purity culture teachings she appreciated, as well as those she found troubling. We also talk about ideas on practical steps we can take to have open, honest dialogue about sexuality and sexual purity in our local churches.
