Listen "Smutty Romance and the Christian Reader"
Episode Synopsis
Join Erin and Jamie in this spicy page-turner of an episode as they discuss the intersection of Christianity and romance novels. Based on a massive listener survey, they’ll explore questions like whether this is a pendulum swing from the other side of purity culture and whether or not we are merely just trying to read porn and justify it. You’ll hear deep dives on purity culture, sexual immorality, and fan fiction. MENTIONS
