Ep 056: Can You Have Pre-Marital Sex & Be a Christian? feat. Kat Harris

Hello and Goodbye

How do pre-marital sex, masturbation and sexuality fit within the Christian church? Leanna & Jared welcome Kat Harris, relationship coach, podcast host of "The Refined Collective" and author of her new book Sexless in the City, to talk about how to navigate sex and Christianity. Kat opens up about her journey as a young woman in the church and the negative influence of purity culture, to the discovery of her own sexuality and finding empowerment within herself and her body. She talks about the experiences and research that led to the decision of whether or not she wanted to wait until marriage, and how she uses this to help other women find freedom in their sexuality. Kat, Leanna and Jared also discuss topics such as Christian stigmas around sex before marriage, masturbation, misogyny and how Christianity and political views are often contradictory. Leanna & Jared also catch up as they both talk about their current situationships, including getting ghosted, having a realization, discovering "red flags", and learning how to communicate emotional unavailability.
