| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Faith adjacent, a spin-off of the Bible bench podcast where we send |
| 0:15.9 | up our faith in tinnah to see if we can get reception in unlikely places. |
| 0:20.7 | I'm your host Erin Moon, resident Bible scholar on the Bible bench and this month, believing |
| 0:25.8 | that true love waits. I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future |
| 0:31.1 | mate and my future children to have a frank and fabulous discussion with you about purity culture. |
| 0:37.6 | Guys, real quick, before we start, I just want to say like a big, earnest heart on my sleeve, |
| 0:42.8 | thank you to everyone who was so encouraging about the inaugural episode of Faith adjacent. |
| 0:48.4 | Thank you. You shared, you listened, you engaged in conversation, you left reviews, |
| 0:55.4 | it's just, I can't tell you what it means to someone when you're enthusiastic about something |
| 1:01.0 | that they make. It's so weird to put stuff out in the world, so when it has a soft place to land, |

| 1:28.0 | children, I highly recommend just giving it a quick listen through before you do so you can decide |
| 1:34.0 | if you think it's age appropriate. I'm going to be talking about sexual trauma, sexual abuse, |
| 1:39.3 | just a lot of different things that I just want you to be prepped on. That's just a friendly heads |
| 1:44.4 | up from your neighborhood, Erin Moon. All right, let's go. And as always, before we begin, |
| 1:51.0 | faith is very personal. Everyone brings their own set of lenses and perspectives to anything they |
| 1:55.6 | encounter in the world. And that includes religion, scripture, faith. I'm coming to every topic |
| 2:01.3 | from my own personal lens. And it's hard for me to divorce myself from my own perspective, but as |
| 2:07.3 | much as I can, I'm going to do my best to approach all topics with clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose, |
