A lot of us were told us purity was about holiness...
But what many of us walked away with was shame, silence, and a warped view of ourselves, our bodies, and God.
Purity culture promised protection—but for many, it delivered trauma.
God did create healthy boundaries for us around sex- but did the church go to far, tying your sexual purity to your identity?
For some, it taught us our worth was tied to virginity.
For others, It told us our bodies were dangerous.
And even some were left unprepared for healthy relationships and real intimacy.
If you’ve ever felt broken, ashamed, or confused because of what you were taught about sex and purity—you’re not alone, and this one is for you!
