Purity culture

Jinger Vuolo, Jeremy Vuolo
About this episode
This episode is all about dating, relationships, and purity culture. Purity culture was a movement within some Christian communities during the 90's and 00's that rejected dating and replaced it with courtship. The idea behind it seemed good: helping young people pursue relationships in a healthy and God-honoring way. But it quickly lost its way. In this episode, Jinger and Jeremy talk about their experiences within purity culture and how to truly honor God in your relationships.
