Kristen and Alexis dive into their experiences growing up in the height of purity culture—also known as the True Love Waits movement. From youth group pledges to fear-based messaging that framed sex as the ultimate sin, they explore how these teachings shaped their views on relationships, intimacy, and self-worth. They also reflect on the lingering effects of shame in marriage and discuss what healing and reclaiming a healthier perspective on sex looks like. Whether you grew up in a conservative church or just want to understand the impact of purity culture, this conversation is real, raw, and full of personal insights.
