If you grew up in the purity movement era of Christianity–where a lot of talk around sexuality was based on ‘just say ‘no’ to sex before marriage’–were you burned by it? Encouraged by it?

Our friend, Jason Soucinek, executive director and founder of ProjectSix19 talks us through the benefits and detriments of talking about sexuality with a focus on this type of purity, and helps us consider another way.

We also dig into favorite group games (just don’t talk about kickball kaythxsbye), get a bit crazy about being inclusive of single people, and have a giant take us to Goofball Island for reasons we still don’t quite know.
Highlights:
“As a parent, you want to be Google to your children–especially when it comes to [sexuality].” –Jason Soucinek

“I think if we’re only looking at two parts [fall and redemption] and we are starting with the Fall, then our language is going to be around sin, and the language of, ‘no, ‘bad,’ and ‘not good.’  We’ll eventually get to ‘image of God’ or ‘Jesus’ or ‘forgiveness,’ but that’s just not the story I see taking place. It starts with, ‘It was very good.'”
–Jason Soucinek
