Listen Later

Therapist and writer, Sam Jolman joins Blake to discuss the harmful effects of purity culture on both men and women, especially those raised in the church. Sam shares his personal journey of grappling with his own sexuality and the challenges within his marriage. They explore how men, often left without proper guidance on sexuality, struggle to integrate their sexual desires in healthy ways. The conversation explored how shame can distort our understanding of our bodies and sexuality, and highlighted the importance of bringing these struggles into the light, where healing and redemption can take place.



In this episode, you’ll be able to…


  • Understand the importance of embracing and honoring the body as created in God's image.
  • Discover how Jesus' compassion offers freedom and redemption in struggles with body image and sexual shame.
  • Reflect on the theological understanding of desire and pleasure as gifts from God.
