Sexuality and the Purity Culture
This is the audio from An Interesting Conference about Sexuality hosted by Jonathon Foster along with Tom Oord. This episode features Linda Kay Klein (who is interviewed by her husband, Jimmy). Linda is something of a trailblazer. She's the best selling author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. She has a lot of wisdom to offer and among other things in this video, I think she gives women permission to be themselves, to begin to define sexuality on their own terms, and to name the dis-health of the evangelical purity culture. Yes, it's challenging, but that's not to say that staying with the "tenants" of the purity culture isn't messy either! Linda has spoken around the world from the TEDx stage to The Apollo’s Women of the World Festival. Her work has been featured by the New York Times, NPR, CBS, NBC, Elle Magazine, and 150 other outlets. Learn more at lindakayklein.com
