Deconstructing Purity Culture with Dr. Liz DuBois

This episode contains dialogue around sexual abuse. Listener discretion advised.

On this episode, Erin talks with Dr. Liz DuBois about how Purity Culture impacted her life and led to her deconstruction.

Dr. Liz shares her personal experiences with sexual abuse and how "Marry or Burn" theology contributed to her religious trauma. She also gives an amazing 3-ingredient recipe on how church leaders should approach talking about s*x with young people (you know, instead of only shoving abstinence down their throats).

Dr. Liz will be speaking at A Deconstructed Holiday: Virtual Conference for Faith Deconstruction on Sunday, December 11 at 2pm. You can register for free at: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/a-deconstructed-holiday/register
