Did you read your bible today? Were you sprinkled or dunked when you got baptized? Is it okay to wear spaghetti straps? It's officially season 4, and the Woman Beings sit down to talk about things that felt like a huge deal growing up in evangelicalism (but really weren't). They discuss the rigidity among faith practices, restrictions that were enforced on the benign, and the frontrunner of evangelical indoctrination... purity culture! Listen in for some BIG updates and a nauseatingly nostalgic blast to the past.
