Hello and welcome to Let's Talk About It.

This is your host Taylor and it is Master Basin May.

So pleasure for every single body.

I hope that you are starting off your Master Basin May with a bang, a boom, a squirt,

whatever it is.

I hope that you are engaging in pleasure and I'm very excited about today's conversation.

Very excited to share it with you all.

I'm going to be talking with Christopher Van Hall, who is an agnostic and non-binary

minister.

They are the author of Reborn Again, Crucifying Christian Dumb and Resurrecting a Radical.

The lead pastor of Greater Purpose Church and the co-founding visionary behind the Greater

Purpose Brewing Company in Santa Cruz, California, which is a brewery that donates 30 to 60% of

its profits to charities like the Santa Cruz LGBT Diversity Center, Planned Parenthood,

NAACP and other social justice organizations.

I, as you all know, have not talked about religion a lot in these episodes, but the reason

it is important today to talk about is because we are going to unpack purity culture and

we are going to talk about how religion plays a part in our relationship with our bodies.

Because whether or not you, you know, are religious yourself or identify that way, religion

has had a huge impact in our culture and how we feel about our bodies.

So I'm really pumped about this entire conversation.

It is a little bit outside of my comfort zone, but I'm going in with open ears and open

heart and an open mind to learn a little bit.
