Michael and Millie Shipe grew up in the era of “purity culture.” It was a big thing for about 20 years starting in the 1990s, and it focused on saving sex for marriage. There were conferences and purity rings and slogans, like “True Love Waits.”But a lot of people say they've been deeply damaged by their experience in purity culture. There's a growing genre of books by the “survivors” of purity culture. These are often bitter tales written by ex-evangelicals who use the term “deconstruction” to describe leaving orthodox Christianity.Today on Doubletake, the rise and fall of purity culture, through the eyes of a couple who lived through some of its best features–and some of its worst. And, just a note: this episode involves relationships and sexuality. It's not for kids.Music/audio from:CNNSouth Park/Comedy Central“Kiss the Girl” by Samuel E.

Hannah Lee knew early on that life inside of her Korean American church was far too restrictive for her. And even though she felt that church life was deeply embedded into life as a Korean American, she saw its limitations as a curious, passionate person who valued art and people outside of the church. From her mom trying to exercise demons who would have her buy ski pants (true story) to the damage of purity culture in the 90's, Hannah broke free in early adulthood and has carved out a life outside. She found queer community and art to replace Christianity and Purity Culture even as she continues to find ways to connect to her family.

Rick and his guests, Brett and Kelly Hurst of Home Encouragement Ministries discuss generational changes regarding dating and hook-up culture.

Hello everyone! On this podcast, I (Jonathan Jenkins) am sharing a sermon I preached to my church. This sermon is a summary of a month's worth of teaching True Love Waits to the youth at my church. There is a lot that is covered and many questions that are answered regarding this issue. I start out by talking about what TRUE love is, what kind of relationships do we have, etc. Then I get into the topic of sex and how God through His word deals with that issue. Finally, I summarize with a response for the Gospel. This is a much needed message today to clear up many misunderstandings and abuses found within the sexual culture that we live in. This is one of those topics where we need to stand firm on the Word of God as Christians! What is sin and what does God allow? Well, we need to find the principles in the Bible that make this very clear! Find out what the Bible says about all of this in this week's episode of Grace Bond Ministries!

This is one of the few episodes we will be releasing over the next few weeks regarding purity culture. If you've been listening to us for a while, you know purity culture is something that often comes up in our episodes and I wanted to do a mini-series focusing on it. Here to discuss their own journey with purity culture, we have Canadian queer alt-pop artist Adaline, who just released a purity culture inspired single "True Love Waits", the third single from upcoming EP "Hymnal" (out March 22), that follows her journey of reconciling queerness and the harmful religious narratives she experienced growing up as the daughter of an evangelical minister.

This episode examines how the True Love Waits and the Southern Baptist church influenced Clinton's 1996 welfare reform bill with an amendment that created funding for abstinence-only education. This pairing demonstrates how myths about sexual purity deeply impact how the system uses the assumption of sexual purity as a normative experience to reinforce poverty, racism, and misogyny.Subscribe to Pure White: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pure-white/id1718974286Axis Mundi Media: www.axismundi.usTo purchase Virgin Nation: https://massivebookshop.com/products/9780199987764To Subscribe to Chew On This, A Newsletter from the After Purity Project:https://afterpurity.substack.comRe-thinking Sexual Citizenship by Jyl Josephsonhttps://sunypress.edu/Books/R/Rethinking-Sexual-CitizenshipAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
This episode focuses on the organization True Love Waits and its founding as a highly ambitious campaign to transform the diversity of sexual cultures, expressions, and ethics in the US into a singular ethic based on Christian principles. While doing so, the campaign also contributed to the culture of abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention by sacralizing the practice of victim blaming.

On today's episode, Ashley unpacks Brittney Cooper's womanist theology in her book "Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower." Cooper's analysis of the evangelical purity culture of the 1990s and the "True Love Waits" campaign provides readers with an understanding of how evangelicalism specifcally harms black women. Cooper's analysis and theology is a call to wholeness as it is a call to reject the white supremacist values found in the Christian religion.

I am a child of the 90s, and I vividly remember going to a True Love Waits rally where the speaker held up beautiful rose and slowly began tearing its petals off one by one until there was nothing but an ugly stump left. Of course, this was meant to illustrate what happens to our hearts when we choose to give ourselves away over and over before marriage, but there was always something about that image that didn't sit well with me. Why? Because it completely leaves out God's ability to redeem and restore things that are dead. Many people who were influenced by this message have come forward saying it hurt them more than it helped them. Because of that, I wanted to take a deep look at how it has affected us as women, and what the true message of the Bible is about purity...so we can teach our children what's true and good, and so that we can find healing if we need it. Join me and my special guest, Francie Winslow, as we talk about: The good and bad things that came from the purity movement of the 90s. What the Bible actually says about purity. The biggest hurts and challenges women of the 90s face related to the purity movement. How to find healing and move forward with hope. How to pray for our children as it relates to their purity.

In 1997, Josh Harris wrote and released a book called I Kissed Dating Goodbye. The book quickly became a best seller, and purity culture was born.Liefway Christian Booksellers produced True Love Waits—a program primarily designed to teach teens the biblical path to marriage. The program, however, produced unintentional results.

Patrick @secure_not_pure is from Germany and has American roots - not only by blood, but he considers himself a transatlantic dropout from 1990s American purity culture. His ongoing journey of de/reconstruction has led him away from toxic church structures and a static view of the divine, towards a more healthy and inclusive mindset - and all the way into consensual non-monogamy (which he actually didn't see coming). Patrick is healing from early trauma and shame, and learning to embrace his own body and sexuality. Topics covered in this conversation include European secularism and faith, the True Love Waits movement, sex positivity, therapy, and the importance of consent and good communication in unconventional (meaning non-monogamous/polyamorous) relationship/family structures. .
In part 2 of our interview with Jeff Eaton from the Christian Rightcast, we talk through the history of the purity movement in detail. We account for how it changed over time, from AIDS being treated as a moral issue to True Love Waits. We also discuss biblical masculinity, Bill Gothard and the Duggars, and the motivations of leaders in the purity movement.

We're starting a new series that is going to be fire–it's For the Love of Dating, Sex and Relationships. We're going to cover a lot of territory over the life of this series–and with this episode we're going to start with a question; what was it that you learned about sex during the most formative years of your life? Because whether you realize it or not, this can greatly shape how you approach sex as an adult. Maybe you've been unraveling what it is you think about sex, how you think about your body, what sex means to you–and you're tracing it back to what you learned as teenager or young adult–and maybe that education wasn't positive. To help guide us through making those connections to our early sexual education and how we view sex today is therapist Jay Stringer–returning for his second appearance on the show. Jay pulls back the curtain on the teachings many of us got about sex when we were young. Even if you never were a part of movements like “True Love Waits,” or received lessons on purity culture by your church, or other religious organizations–perhaps there was a rigid sexual space in the childhood home you grew up in. We're speaking to all the ways sex might have been presented to us with messages of shame. Jay encourages us to look at our sexual stories, seeking ways to find healing and wholeness toward a healthy view of sex. And bonus–for you parents who find talking about sex with your kids akin to a slow, painful death, Jay and Jen talk through ways can engage our kids around sex without the shame approach that a lot of us experienced, and to have those conversations in a loving, age-appropriate way by being open and responsive. Content Warning: This episode talks extensively about sex, sexuality, and unwanted sexual behaviors, so it may not be suitable for young listeners. Series Description Y'all. It's time to talk about it. The good, the bad, the ugly, the dramatic, the hilarious. That's right–we're talking about relationships. As Jen dips her toes back in the dating world post-divorce, what better time to call in the experts? For many of us grown adults who haven't dated in a thousand years, the methods have changed, the rules have changed (swipe left anyone?) and we're clueless where to start. And for those of you have been in the mix of it for awhile, you'll still find something new to learn in these conversations that run the gamut from sex, to matchmaking, to finding love in this new world order. We'll also talk about what to do when your kids start dating, how to navigate the apps (RIP to our sanity), and what to do if you don't want to be single, and if you do, how to find the maximum satisfaction out of going it solo. We'll chat with experts, friends, mentors, leaders–basically the people who have the receipts to give us the goods on what healthy relationships look like and how to nurture and build them to what they need to be. Because at the end of the day, good relationships with ourselves and others are what makes life sweeter. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

Thought-Provoking Quotes “If you hate your sexual desire, and you are militantly trying to stop it, you are going to develop a very severe and harmful theology, and that's exactly what happened in purity culture.” – Jay Stringer “I've seen the purity culture really affect women in three particular ways. I would say that it deprioritizes women's sexual pleasure. It set women up for sexual violation. Then, the third, is that it contributed to sexual pain.” – Jay Stringer “I think one of the greatest myths out there is that you can't change your past. In some ways, the past is far easier to change than the future, in that you can go back to that scared, adolescent girl, and you can begin to mother her. You can ask her, ‘what are the things that you wish that you would have known back in the day?'” – Jay Stringer “When we don't have language for what we're experiencing or what we're coming out of, we aren't going to have language to be able to create a new sexual world, so we've got to educate ourselves. We've got to get into community and start talking through this stuff in order to rewrite our sexual script.” – Jay Stringer “For a seed to grow, it has to transgress the seed casing, and the root has to go down in order for the shoot to go up, and so that sense of our children need to transgress the boundaries, in some ways, that we have created, in order for them to individuate, to be able to grow. We don't want to create soil that does not allow them to transgress the boundaries of childhood. We want to allow some of that transgression to grow. I think that begins by inviting them to consider like, what do you want your own sexual story to look like?” – Jay Stringer “View sexual difficulties as a stage to be able to rewrite your story.” – Jay Stringer Jay's LinksWebsite Facebook Instagram Twitter Books & Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeUnwanted: How Sexual Brokeness Reveals Our Way to Healing - Jay Stringer Addressing Broken Sexual Behavior with Jay Stringer - For the Love Podcast Episode The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended - Sheila Gregoire Come As You Are: Revised and Updated: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life - Emily Nagoski Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less - Greg McKeown Dr. Dan Allender Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's InstagramJen's Twitter Jen's FacebookJen's YouTube

I'd have to agree that true love does wait ;) On today's episode, I am proud to introduce to you Mr. Immeasurably More himself.

Purity culture is a phrase that described an evangelical movement in the 90's and 2000's which promoted the biblical view of sexual purity & to combat premarital sex for Christian teens. There were many popular resources that were introduced like “True Love Waits” and Joshua Harris's Best Seller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye as leading resources and programs. Unfortunately, it affected many young Christians when it comes to biblical purity. Come join the guys as they talk about Purity Culture.

"That's what she prayed."Who doesn't love a good inside joke? Even better when a couple hundred, or a couple thousand, people are in on it. Welcome to Weird Christian Twitter: a group of evangelical and exvangelical misfits who share a lifetime of common memories and cultural touchpoints — from sword drills, to youth group lock-ins, to CCM crushes and True Love Waits pledges.On this episode, we do a deep dive into #WCT and the online community that's formed via a collective, albeit mostly good natured, side-eyeing of evangelicalism. We are joined by Matthew Pierce, "The King of Weird Christian Twitter" (so says Christianity Today) and #WCT's resident awkward, hormonal boy from youth group. Or, at least, that's his online persona, even though he swears he lives a normal, boring, adult life irl.And Kate Shellnutt, senior news editor for Christianity Today magazine and self-described "lurker" on Weird Christian Twitter, gives us some backstory on this oddball Twitter subculture and "the movement" it's formed. GUESTS:Matthew Pierce is co-host of the Fun Sexy Bible Time podcast and the author of the new book "Evangelical Thought Leader: The Liturgy of Radically Engaging the Culture of Paradigm Shifts."Kate Shellnutt is senior news editor for Christianity Today magazine.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brandon McAlpine and Joey Trieb are exfundamentalist exvangelical Christians who have deconstructed away from Bible literalism and other harmful theology like the Rapture, Creationism, and purity culture. In episode 12, Joey Trieb and Brandon McAlpine start a conversation on purity culture and how it has affected a generation of evangelicals. Through events like the Silver Ring Thing and True Love Waits, and music like Modest Is Hottest by Mathew West and I Don't Want It by DC Talk, youth pastors unintentionally fostered shame and self-loathing in the lives of teenagers across the country. Brandon McAlpine and Joey Trieb break down the harmful effects of this teaching, the patriarchal structure it is rooted in, and how we can move on from it. New episodes every Monday! Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google, and more!

“We eroticize our pain to make sense of it. We sexualize our brokenness.” - Andrew BaumanOn this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael welcomes Andrew Bauman, author of The Sexually Healthy Man. Now, you may have grown up in the 90's during the height of the True Love Waits movement, accompanied by Joshua Harris' bestseller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Many of the ideas perpetuated by this culture were infused with fear and shame, offering no practical help or guidance in equipping young people to become healthy sexual human beings. As a result, shame accompanied any thoughts around sexuality; with guys trying to white-knuckle purity and falling short over and over again. Leaving them with feelings of self-hatred and hopelessness. Andrew hopes his brand new book will serve as the guide - providing comfort and clarity to those who find themselves in a similar struggle for sexual health. The essays in the book are not only for men but also for women who want to understand what healthy sexuality can look like in a partner. Speaking of women, you may remember Andrew's wife Christy as she was a guest on a September 2020 podcast called The Theology of the Womb. Definitely something worth checking out.Andrew has graciously provided us 2 copies copy of The Sexually Healthy Man that we'll send to a randomly selected listeners. All you need to do to qualify is log into Apple Podcasts and write a review of Restoring the Soul. Be sure to listen to next week's podcast for an update on the winners.In this podcast, we hope you will discover:How to engage with honor instead of objectification.For us to become whole, for us to become sexually healthy, we need to become embodied.What we believe is not what we say. What we believe is how we live.You cannot look at pornography and be an authentic man at the same time.
Author Rachel Joy Welcher stops by to discuss what got left behind at the purity ball. About twenty years ago, a torrent of literature related to sexual purity was unleashed in Christian bookstores. It spawned an entire culture with purity rings, True Love Waits concerts, and yes, even purity balls. Some of it adhered to biblical truth...but some of it did not. In her new book, Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality, Rachel discusses the effects this had on the Church and how we should think about issues of sexual purity going forward.Links related to today's guest:Buy the bookPersonal websiteFathom MagazineTwitterInstagramFacebook

This week, Erin H. Moon joins us in the fourth chair to talk about s-e-x. We discuss what it was like growing up in the era of “True Love Waits,” whether we bought into the movement or not, and how that shapes the ways we do (and don't) want to talk to our own kids about sex. We also wax philosophical about the impending sequel to Netflix's hit To All The Boys I've Loved Before and affectionately argue over the right and wrong ways to order at a restaurant.
