What is purity culture, and how is it different from what the Bible actually teaches about s*x and holiness?

In this episode of Ask a Pastor, Pastor Todd tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today. While Scripture clearly calls Christians to s*xual purity, many people have experienced shame, legalism, and hurt from what has become known as “purity culture.”

We’ll explore:

* The difference between biblical purity and purity culture
* Why God’s design for s*x is good
* How grace and truth work together
* What the Bible says about holiness, marriage, and singleness
* Why your identity is found in Christ—not your s*xual past
* How the church can communicate biblical s*xual ethics with both conviction and compassion

Whether you’ve been hurt by purity culture, have questions about biblical s*xuality, or simply want to understand what God’s Word really teaches, this episode will encourage you to embrace both God’s truth and His grace.
