Purity culture has promised Christians a lot – maybe TOO much. This week, Steve and the gang have a frank and honest conversation with author Rachel Joy Welcher about good intentions gone bad, what the Bible really says about sexual purity, and how to best guide our kids. Rachel's new book is called "Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality" (https://amzn.to/3iECirj).
