ReStory Podcast

In this episode of ReStory Podcast, let's hear some insights from Sheila Wray Gregoire, an advocate for healthier evangelical teachings on sex and marriage. Gregoire discusses her journey from a mommy blogger to challenging evangelical teachings through her research with 7,000 evangelical women, showcased in her book 'She Deserves Better: Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up.' The conversation covers the impact of purity culture on women's sexual health, self-esteem, and the excessive responsibilities it places on them, advocating for a significant shift towards teachings that respect women's agency and value. Gregoire's work, including her website BareMarriage.com and related podcast, aims to change the evangelical conversation about marriage and sex.
