Mattie Jo Cowsert: Life After Purity Culture


Listen Later

What happens when an Evangelical Pastor’s daughter (who raised in purity culture) moves to NYC to deconstruct her beliefs on sex? She also ends up reconstructing who she is as a person.

Mattie Jo Cowsert shares the real ties that sexuality - and the way we’re often taught to think about it in Christianity - have to identity and the way we see ourselves. This episode will bring healing to people who can relate to this 80s and 90s upbringing. It will also educate parents who are trying to navigate raising their own kids with a healthy view of relationships.
