Episode 7: Purity Culture & Patriarchy: A Conversation with Rachel Joy Welcher

Faith, Philosophy & Politics

Scott talks with author Rachel Joy Welcher about the fear that produced "purity culture," the prosperity Gospel and the Church's discomfort with discomfort. The conversation also addresses infertility, loss and same-sex attraction. **CONTENT WARNING** This episode contains discussions about sex and sexual abuse. ________ Help the Coleys cover the costs of producing Faith, Philosophy & Politics--and look good doing it! Since January of 2021 we have produced nearly two seasons and 20 episodes of the show (with more in the works!). Scott has had some amazing conversations with a variety of friends and colleagues and Season 3 is already in the works. For those wondering what Scott's philosophy class is like, he's also planning a series of talks on the nature of moral truth and how we understand the concept of justice. Production costs have begun to add up and we would love to continue providing meaningful content at the intersection of religion, politics, and ethics.
