Healing from Purity Culture involves conversations of how Evangelical communities have created undue amounts of anxiety and pressure for men as well as women.

S6E11: Coming Out in Evangelical Families, with Singer-Songwriter, Adaline, part 1 of 2
One of the most common targets of Evangelical, Mormon, and Pentecostal (EMPish) communities in the 21st century are queer people. The moralizing of straight, married relationships places people who are attracted to folks of the same sex/gender and folks who are curious about sexual experiences with same sex/gendered people in terrible double binds. Folks can accept and practice sexuality in alignment with their sexual orientation in the face of name-calling, loss of relationships with family members, and threats of violence. Or they can squelch or hide their sexuality, or practice their sexuality in more secretive ways, which itself can have negative impacts. Coming out in EMPish communities carries a ton of undue emotional and relational pressure. To help us navigate that, we've invited singer-songwriter and founder of non-profit Bad Believer (@badbelievercommunity), Adaline (@adalinemusic), to share how she navigated her own coming out process. We talk with Adaline about her first album, Hymnal, as well as:
- Body Talk and EMPish Communities
- Hierarchy in Sin
- Binaries and Sexuality
- Co-Opting Coming Out
- Stories for Her Songs "Part of You" and "Waist Down"
- Building Personal Strength
- Trusting Desires
- Family Systems: When Your Pastor is Also Your Father
- Embracing Your Body
- Sensuality and the Music Video
- Coming Out and Guilt
- Her Nonprofit, Bad Believer
