Summary

Do you know about the anti-purity movement that’s going against the church-based campaigns of the 1990s that encouraged young people to wait until marriage to have sex? Was the Church wrong in how it handled this message? When should we talk to our kids about sex? To be honest, this is a topic that the church seems to have done a 180 on since the time of the free love movement and sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. As a parent, this is one of many questions I’m asking as I approach a new stage of life with my kids. And I’ll admit that I don’t have the answer. But today, I’m discussing the root problem of so many issues we see today – from LGBT to pro-life issues, to drag queens and gender ideology – sex outside of marriage and a rejection of the biblical standard for sex.

0:36.0	but it's to help equip you to spend daily time in God's word
0:39.0	and to help you prepare your family

0:57.0	Today's episode of Fearless is another one of those topics that's not always the most fun to talk about.
1:08.0	But it's also one that you probably don't want to listen to while your kids are in the car.
1:12.0	But I do think this is a subject that needs to be
1:14.3	addressed and it's so important and I hope you take a listen on today's episode.
1:20.6	Hi, I'm Sissy Graham Lynch. Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a
1:26.3	compromising culture. So recently I was scrolling through social media and I came across something on my feed that really caught me off guard and it was a friend from college and she had multiple posts about the anti purity movement and that's something new to me. Maybe you've heard of
1:56.2	that but I had to do some googling and it's really this movement that's coming
