The narratives also created a hyper focus on sexuality as a key measurement of being quote on quote “right with God”. The way that these narratives were taught and communicated have created an entire culture of people who have been affected by them, both positively and negatively. On this episode, your host Jessie and her friend Kelsey break down the different narratives that came from purity culture and how they have each experienced them.

Jessie and JBell break down what it would look like for the Church to love and support the LGBTQ community, regardless of what their doctrine says. There is a way to bridge the gap when there are differing opinions and that is to greet every person with the same compassion and gentleness that Jesus did and still does.
