Jess and Devi are both sick this week, so the show is taking a little break. Don't forget to talk to us on  and  Or if you want to hear something new,  with us to hear all the wonderful episodes .&nbsp;

Taking a break!

The era of purity rings and True Love Waits pledges may be over, you could stand around the fire of a burning down house and warm your hands, or you can rebuild.
That’s where we come in. Where Do We Go From Here? is a podcast untangling sexual ethics for a new generation of Christians. 
We aren’t building a house. You are. But we want to equip you with psychological insights and sound theological framing that you can use as tools to build your own place.

Trailer - Where Do We Go From Here?

Where Do We Go From Here? is untangling sexual ethics for a new generation of Christians. We are here to start a conversation with you about life after purity culture.

You can use our conversations as a starting point with your people - friends, partners, family, neighbors, youth group and mom's groups - so that you can decide: where will you go from here?

Why Should We Have a Post-Purity Culture Podcast?

Is "purity" the word the Bible uses to describe our sexual decisions? How easy is it to make the Bible say what we want it to say? What are tools that we need as we study the Bible for ourselves? Listen as we dissect the word "purity" as it is found in the Bible and examine the implications of believing that we are pure or impure

Is purity the word the Bible uses to talk about sex?

Chewed up gum. Crumpled roses. Tape that lost its stickiness. We talk about these metaphors from purity culture with Dr. Sean McDowell, and we unpack - were these the best ways to talk about premarital sex? How were they harmful? What are better ways of discussing our sexual choices? And how can we be talking about it with young people today? 

Join us for a look back at 80s purity culture and for thoughts on how to move forward.
