We had Seth's wife Katie on the podcast to talk about her experience with purity culture. Seth, Katie, and Philip all grew up in the same religious denomination which had a high emphasis on purity culture. Unfortunately, if you know about purity culture then you know that it has a tendency to put all the emphasis on women and men are considered the victims. Philip and Seth believe there is a better way forward for the church and it begins with hearing stories of real people who have been hurt by this way of treating people, specifically women.

Video mentioned by Katie with disclaimer:

I think it’s fair to include a disclaimer that it’s from 1946 and talks about societal standards of the time in there as well. Particularly because of the theme of the podcast. 😅
