This week’s episode is part 2 of our Predatory Pastors series. We received many listener stories about experiences with predatory pastors, so we thought it only right to read some on the pod and open up the conversation around this important topic. We hope hearing these stories helps you find connection, solace, and healing in your own journey and empowers you to continue to speak your truth.

Well, we planned to keep you fed with another cult minisode until part 2 of the Purity Culture episode releases…but it accidentally became a MAXIsode! Sorry for talking too much about cults!

This week, we dive into one of the most culturally impactful movements in the Evangelical church- Purity Culture. This movement impacted us, our families and friends, and our whole lives while in the church and after leaving. 

This topic is so vast, we felt it needed 2 episodes. In this episode (part 1), we aim to establish and define the purity culture movement and its impact on the young people in the church. And yep, we included contracts, True Love Waits, and purity rings. 

In part 2, we’ll get more personal and share how it impacted each of us personally, but for now- we hope listening to us talk about it helps you feel seen and know that you’re not alone. 

Please excuse our few audio issues in this episode. Either Tuesday needs a new mic, or we have a ghost. We don't really know.

As always, please email us with your thoughts, concerns, topic ideas, personal stories, *prayer requests and praise reports (hallelu--hallelu--halleluuuuuuujah)*!

In this episode, we begin our minisode series that's all about cults! Alexa takes us on a journey into the Heaven's Gate cult that found its end in the late 1990s. God's Will, Bo Peep and UFOs? Count us in!

Tune in every Sunday for a new episode of Sorry For What I Said When I Was An Evangelical Teenager, where we discuss deconstructing, religious trauma, and growing up in (and ultimately leaving) the evangelical church.
