Sheila Gregoire
Author, speaker, and researcher
Sheila Gregoire joins Purity Playlist to unpack the research that demonstrates how toxic purity culture actually is. Together we explore the data when it comes to intimacy, desire, and healing - and why better conversations about sex matter.
Derek Webb
Singer-songwriter and author
Known for being part of the Christian band Caedmon's Call, and for challenging the boundaries of evangelical culture, Derek Webb shares his journey through faith, doubt, and authenticity. We talk about deconstruction, freedom, and what it means to pursue truth when the answers you've been given no longer fit.
Jaye Brix
Ex-evangelical pastor, Queer Influencer
Former evangelical pastor and queer advocate Jaye Brix explores how biblical interpretation has shaped conversations around sexuality, identity, and belonging. Together we unpack common misconceptions, examine Scripture through historical context, and discuss why curiosity can be an act of faith - not rebellion.
Liz Charlotte Grant
Writer and author
Liz Charlotte Grant reflects on growing up in purity culture, wrestling with faith, and reclaiming a fuller understanding of sexuality. This conversation explores why reductionistic messages about sex leave lasting wounds - and what healing can look like.
Brian Recker
Ex-evangelical Pastor and author of Hell Bent
Former pastor and author Brian Recker joins Purity Playlist to ask a provocative question: What happens when we take the hell out of purity culture? We explore what remains when fear is no longer the foundation of faith - and why love may be a better guide than shame ever was.
Erica Smith
Sex educator and author of The Purity Culture Recovery Guide
A recognizable and needed voice in modern sex education, Erica Smith discusses why comprehensive sex education is essential, how misinformation harms people of all ages, and what it looks like to approach sexuality with curiosity instead of shame.
