Idolizing Virginity ft. Kimberly Cunningham
The Magdala Podcast
In this week's episode, Rachael is joined by Kimberly Cunningham to discuss their experiences with purity culture within the Church. Rachael and Kimberly talk about the ways well-intentioned people who idolize virginity have harmed their view of sexuality, and answer questions like "what does the Catholic Church actually say about virginity and sexuality?" and "where does the toxic shame of purity culture stem from?" All this and more as Kimberly and Rachael share their stories and give advice on how to heal from these wounds. Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction. We're so glad you're here. ⎯⎯⎯ Magdala Ministries is a 501(c) non-profit organization.
