Podcast: The Backlash Against Purity Culture


Listen Later

Last week on the podcast we shared with you the most-viewed BreakPoint commentaries of 2019. Today, we will replay the most listened to and downloaded BreakPoint podcast of last year.

Interestingly enough, it was about purity culture. Specifically, about Josh Harris, author of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” renouncing not only his teaching sexual purity, but also his faith in Christ. John Stonestreet and I discussed the social media frenzy over this sad development—especially the backlash against the so-called purity culture. Was this backlash is really anti-purity culture, or simply a repudiation of Christian sexual morality?
