Being raised on "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" to Kris Vallotton's "Purity: The New Moral Revolution," -- here's my story as a Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry graduate of the damaging effects of young and impressionable teens (both young men and women) following reckless dogma, growing up in cult evangelical purity culture, getting married as a virgin, and the moral betrayal against myself in purity culture. This podcast is a MUST-LISTEN if you want to learn about the damage purity culture does, have a loved one (or daughter) who grew up in this radical evangelical Christian phase in the 2000s, and how to escape it!

If you're fed up with purity culture damage, have someone you care about who's referenced Purity Culture, or are recognizing the damaging effects of purity culture in your life, then you need to listen to this podcast!
