ERIN H. MOON: I've Got Questions About Purity Culture

About this episode

Erin H. Moon discusses her new book and explores the impacts of Purity Culture and evangelical trauma with host Jess.

Bible scholar, author and podcaster Erin H Moon has a lot of questions about faith. In her new book 'I've Got Questions: The Spiritual Practice of Having It Out With God' out February 4 with Baker Books, she digs deep into the brine of her Southern Baptist childhood to unpack evangelical trauma, deconstruction, reconstruction and her obsession with Point of Grace. She chats to Jess about the the repercussions of Purity Culture, learning to forgive the younger more fundamentalist versions of ourselves, and who takes the crown in a showdown between Amy Grant, Rebecca St James and Jennifer Knapp. Get ready to laugh, cry and set a reminder in your phone for "I really do need to go back to therapy soon".
