Dr. Kim and Camden Morgante explore how purity culture has shaped individuals' beliefs and relationships. They break down five harmful myths it promotes and examine how these misconceptions can impact a couple's sex life after marriage — including the unrealistic expectation of a fairy tale marriage as a reward for remaining pure. Dr. Morgante offers guidance to help couples move beyond the shame and guilt tied to these teachings, so they can embrace the beautiful gift God designed for marriage. We pray this episode is helpful for you and your marriage.    Episode highlights: Our God isn't a transactional god. Purity culture has been compared to the sexual prosperity gospel. Many individuals only hear negative messages about sex before marriage. Reclaiming the beauty of sex involves holistic healing of mind, body, heart, and soul. Teaching children about sexuality should focus on values rather than rules. Purity culture can lead to feelings of being 'damaged goods'. Myths of purity culture can cause disillusionment in faith.   Couples Conversation Guide:  Main takeaway:  Our motivation for purity before marriage can serve as a stumbling block to intimacy within our marriage. Purity before and within marriage is important, but our relationship with God isn't transactional. We are missing the point of God's heart for sex when the focus is on a reward.  Questions to Discuss:  How was the conversation surrounding sex approached in your youth? Looking back, did you desire to stay pure before marriage and what was your motivation for purity? Did you believe one of the “5 lies” Dr. Morgante mentioned in this episode? What do you think Dr. Morgante means when she says that the lies of purity culture don't just live in our minds, they live in our bodies?    QUOTES: These myths didn't just live in our minds, they lived in our bodies. -Dr. Camden Morgante When you try to control people, it's really easy for shame and fear to become part of it. The end result may be good, but the way you get there can harm people. Shame and guilt is not from God. God wants us to experience healing. We have to have a deeper why for it.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Camden Morgante's Recovering from Purity Culture.   You can connect with Dr. Camden Morgante on Instagram Unlock True Intimacy: Become a couple who prays together.  We have several other AWESOME Resources on our website.

Once upon a time, purity culture promised young Christian girls that all they had to do was save themselves for marriage and their lives would be happily ever after.

Growing up in spaces of faith, many if not most of us have inadvertently picked up on several toxic fallacies as we consider both how to espouse a mature Christian faith and yet also strive for a thriving sex life together in marriage. Many of those beliefs have even been taught from the pulpit, even the ones stirring us to become sexual objects. Yet both biblical truth and research portray for us that guilting or shaming one another in the bedroom instead draws a wider gap of true intimacy. Dr. Camden Morgante, Pys.D., is here to help you walk through this seeming disparity with the clarity you need, as she brings in both healthy biblically-based and research-based tips on how to replace unhealthy projections of faith and sexuality with biblically sound truths and ethics.

It's about time we talked about purity culture, and I've brought in an expert, Dr. Camden, to help us do it. Purity culture has harmed many people in many different ways, and we need to discuss what the effects of purity culture are on Christians and how we can heal from the negative impact that it has had.Let's break down the three main ways that purity culture has impacted people (faith, sexuality, and relationships), what we can do to heal from those wounds, and how we can view sex in a healthy way moving forward. Key Points From This Episode: The definition of purity culture. How purity culture has affected women (and men) in many negative ways.  Why purity culture caused Dr. Camden to have to deconstruct her faith (the roots run deep, people).  Why people who grew up in purity culture may lack appropriate sex education.  What purity culture has done to impact the relationship between women and men.  The link between purity culture and the patriarchy.  Why we don't have to swing the opposite direction of purity culture and teach our children to run rampant and have sex whenever they want.  Finally, how to find healing from purity culture. (Are you getting sick of hearing me say “purity culture” yet?)

This episode we have the privilege of talking with Dr. Camden Morgante about the backlash of purity culture in religious settings and in broader culture as a whole. We explore the history of how "purity culture" developed and gained influence, some of the myths associated with it, the unsexy nature of the obligation sex message, and how some peoples bodies can hold trauma from the messages that come from purity culture. While largely unintended, there has been a lot of fallout and harm that has come as a result of this movement. It is beyond time for a reckoning. Many of the tenets of purity culture have produced rotten fruit, and we have the chance to begin repairing the damage, and recalibrating ourselves to a holistically healthy view of sexuality.  | Dr. Camden Morgante is a licensed clinical psychologist and former college professor.

 Growing up as an Evangelical Christian, I never could imagine that some of the teachings or theology that I was being taught could possible be harmful or damaging. As an adult, I see now that not all teachings are good, just because they might be labeled “Christian”. Many Christian churches and communities have fostered toxic environments and now, there are many, many men and women trying to work through those teachings via some form of faith deconstruction.When I started my own deconstruction, I didn't have trusted guides and the disorientation of it all almost cost me my faith entirely. Luckily, there are wonderful counselors, leaders, and coaches who are helping people walk through deconstruction so that they don't have to give up all the beliefs that have served them well.  Our guest this week is Dr. Camden Morgante and she is one of those trusted voices that is helping many safely navigate the deconstruction of toxic Christian cultures.
