Hey everyone! It\\u2019s ANOTHER remix episode of A Little Bit Culty because: It\\u2019s always good to take some time to look back and reflect.\\xa0

But right now? We\\u2019re about to get in the weeds of one of our favorite topics with some of our fan favorites.\\xa0

On todays episode we are diving head first into the fucked up world of abstinence pledges, purity rings, and knee length skirts.

That\\u2019s right, we are going deep in the purity culture discussion and we aren\\u2019t pulling out.

Joining us are three powerhouse guests.

She\\u2019s written three New York Times bestselling memoirs, including Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, which takes on what she sees as the harmful ideas about sexuality that Christianity has promoted throughout history. She\\u2019s the creator and host of The Confessional podcast, a pop-up prayer network called The Chapel, and a wildly inspirational Substack called The Corners.\\xa0

Next up is Alice Greczyn - an actress, author, and founder of Dare to Doubt.
