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

About the Podcast

Touchy Subjects Podcast
The Touchy Subjects Podcast has been designed to unpack the proverbial elephants in the Church- i.e. the topics no one wants to talk about! We want to create space for an open dialogue on issues like social justice, mental health, women in leadership, homosexuality, legalism, and more. 

The panelists that are speaking on this podcast have been intentionally chosen to tell their story from their perspective without censorship. Some panelists are pastors or church leaders, some panelists are deconstructing their faith, and some panelists are subject matter experts on a topic whose guidance can help this audience.

Our mission is not to expose the Church, but to have conversations that will open eyes, open ears and open hearts toward growth, healing, and unity.
