My first workshop with friends and so much more!
Can I ask for your help?
I’ve been longing to nurture hearts in my home and I finally get to do it!
Maybe I was never meant to climb the hill of difficulty.
For years I believed that the path of purity laid before me was equivalent to that of Christian’s from John Bunyan’s PILGRIM’S PROGRESS. I was taught that as I continued on my way in life I would reach the “Hill of Difficulty”; or temptation, or desire, or lust. It was my responsibility to choose the straight and narrow path. This was the right and holy thing and I should trust God to bless my obedience. Well, plot twist, I was NOT blessed. I was abused, manipulated, and traumatized.
Are purity cultures racist?
“I don’t think you can ever use the word ‘purity’ in American Culture and not be talking about race.” - Amy Frykholm, PhD - Associate Editor - The Christian Century
It should come as no surprise that protecting the pure white family and supporting the white child produced by that family, was not only the catalyst, but the holy purpose of the original purity movement.
