In this episode, Emily covers Part II of her series on purity culture from her blog The Life She Wrote. Part II explores the teaching of modesty, and by extension rape culture and clergy abuse.[Content warning: sexual assault, clergy abuse]
Created as an addition to her blog, The Life She Wrote: The Podcast will expand on the topics of faith deconstruction, religious trauma and other ex-evangelical topics by providing a more in-depth look at the content and sharing stories from readers and listeners.
