About this episode

The episode explores the misconceptions of purity culture based on biblical texts.

What if purity culture built its biggest rules on verses that don't actually say what we think they do? We're opening the Bible, reading the original languages, and asking whether Jesus was really talking about what we've been told He was. Fair warning: your pastor probably won't love this episode.
