In this episode, I’m joined by Bridgett Blood for an honest conversation about sexuality, purity culture, shame, and sacred desire.

For many women, conversations around purity were shaped more by fear, performance, and rigid rules than true wholeness and intimacy with God. In this episode, we explore what purity culture may have been trying to communicate, where the message became harmful, and how we can begin reclaiming a healthier, more honest understanding of sexuality and desire.

We talk about:

  • redefining purity beyond performance
  • how shame impacts our relationship with our bodies and desires
  • what “sacred desire” really means
  • and how healing and wholeness are still possible, no matter your story

Whether you’re processing past church experiences, wrestling with shame, or simply longing for a more life-giving conversation around sexuality, this episode is an invitation into honesty, freedom, and hope.
