If you ever felt guilty for making out, this one’s for you. We tear into abstinence-only education, the purity ring industrial complex, and the horror show that is the “born-again virgin.” Plus, we clap back at the toxic theology that says you’re not worthy of heaven if you love your own life too much. Yes, really.patreon.com/skepticpastor

Parable of the ten bridesmaids and being open
Turns out the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids isn’t a warning about heaven’s velvet rope. It’s a call to be ready for the unexpected. We unpack the cultural backdrop, the spiritual arrogance of the “prepared,” and how first-century people missed Jesus because they weren’t open—and how we still do the same thing today.patreon.com/skepticpastor

Deconstructing Purity Culture: Cohabitation and Living in Sin
Purity culture wants you to believe marriage solves everything—except it doesn’t. We dig into stories of people rejected for cohabitation, the dangerous lie that consent disappears once you’re married, and why reducing life to two bad choices is just bad theology wrapped in shame.patreon.com/skepticpastor

The Parable of the Weeds and Why People Aren't who You Think They Are
The Parable of the Weeds isn’t about judging people’s souls—it’s about waiting before you yank people out of your life. We break down the cultural background, the dangers of playing spiritual police, and why people might not be who you think they are. Spoiler: sometimes the wheat and the weeds look exactly the same.patreon.com/skepticpastor

Purity Culture Damage from Being "Unequally Yoked’"
Let’s talk about that time purity culture told you dating a non-Christian would ruin your soul. We dig into the myth of being “unequally yoked,” how that verse isn’t even about marriage, and why courting culture stunts your growth like a purity ring with a chokehold.patreon.com/skepticpastor
