Summary

What do you do when you realize the things you've been taught don't quite match up with God's Word? How do you navigate when what you believed to be true of the body of Christ doesn't hold up when you need care and protection? For Carlie Cleveland, experiencing an abusive relationship was painful enough yet more hurt was heaped upon her when the response of Christian leaders was shaming and blaming. It was through that difficult season that Carlie began to rightfully question some of the lessons she had learned through the years about purity. Her questions led her to untangle some prescriptive religious rules that ignored the heart of God's purpose in pursuing purity. In this episode, Carlie and Davey talk about the heart of the matter when it comes to sexual ethics, warning signs in abusive relationships and the importance of deconstructing ideas that don't align with scripture. This conversation is so important for those who know or love young people who may be wrestling with what purity truly means.   Website: https://www.carliecleveland.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlieraecleveland/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmv4z5NLTvn-ZYVQdcmfAIw Real Truth Ministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealtruthministries/ https://www.therealtruthministries.com/ "Ask the Question" available on Spotify, Apple, Anchor, Google, and Youtube: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-the-question/id1615108377 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmv4z5NLTvn-ZYVQdcmfAIw My Esther Bible Study:https://www.carliecleveland.com/theblog/queen-esther Learn more about your ad choices.

And I'm Davey Blackburn. And we have such a great episode for you today.

0:36.5

Oh, we do.

0:37.5

In fact, I think we have not really talked about this much, Aubrey.

0:41.5

I was thinking that we haven't. Have we?

0:43.5

I know. And so this is going to be an interesting discussion.

0:45.5

Honestly, here's the thing. There are times, guys, that Aubrey and I discuss,

0:49.5

hey, what do we want to talk about on the back end of this as we kind of color

0:53.5

and commentate on this conversation. And on this one, here's what we've decided.

0:58.5

We're just going to hit record and not discuss it at all.

1:01.5

And we're just going to see what kind of comes, what emerges out of it.

1:16.5

She really brought some new perspective into my thoughts.

1:20.5

I think I had a very dogmatic opinion about this for quite a bit.

1:23.5

And then she brought some new wants that was like, oh, I hadn't thought about that.
