Patriarchy, Purity Culture, and Wholeness

"Purity culture is a system that tells women to carry the moral weight of male desire." How is that healthy or fair? Joni Menard, an occasional guest on The God Journey, helps other women discover how to live deeply loved by God. She joins Wayne and Kyle for a conversation about patriarchy, purity culture, and gender differences, and how our religious systems often negatively shape the way men and women see themselves, their bodies, their desires, and each other. Patriarchy wounds men as well as women, and shame distorts the beauty of human desire. This podcast covers vulnerability, privilege, parenting, and the long journey of learning to listen, honor, and love without fear or control.
