    • Questions Discussed During Life After Losing Your Memory:
    1. As someone who has spent well over a decade working exclusively in the arena of Christian sexuality, what were some of the unbalanced messages Christians received during that time?
    2. How do you define sexual integrity?
    3. What has been some of the fall out of the unbalanced messaging from purity culture?
    4. You wrote, "My understanding of God and sex has dramatically evolved over the decades. I can see that metamorphosis in the emphasis and nuances in what I wrote twenty years ago versus what I’m writing and teaching today. My journey has brought me closer to the heart of God." Will you share some of those changes with us?
    5. As your understanding of God's Word has grown, what would you now say to someone who says, "Why should I stay pure? That's so old school."
    6. I am going to say a few common phrases we hear regarding sexual purity. I would like for you to respond to them by first sharing what pops in your head and then sharing how you address these phrases in your writing, speaking, podcasting, etc. :) -Dress modestly to prevent your brother from stumbling. -Save sex for marriage. -Men are more sexual than women. -God created sex to expand the family
    7. What would you say to the man or woman listening who is single or widowed about sexual purity?
