If you were a youth group kid in the 90s, you are already familiar with the movement now known as "Purity Culture," a social, political, and religious movement aimed at pushing young people to "save" themselves for marriage. While there were biblical roots to this idea, many young people suffered trauma, shame, and misshapen sexual identities from some of the tactics.
Dr. Camden Morgante is a psychologist who writes, speaks, and counsels people who want to recover from damage done by Purity Culture and reconstruct their faith in a healthy way. You can find more about her at www.drcamden.com and be sure to pick up her new book, Recovering from Purity Culture: Dismantle the Myths, Reject Shame-Based Sexuality, and Move Forward in Your Faith .
