Purity culture is a disease in Christianity. So many podcasts talk about purity as if it’s a good thing, but I want to talk about how purity can be toxic and actually lead to real emotional damage.

    Episode #11: Joy Brooker-Part 2

    And we’re back for part 2 of my conversation with Joy! In this episode we discussing the importance of finding a romantic partner to mesh with in the bedroom, the great wonders of female physiology, and how a little mix-up at a classmate’s funeral stopped her evangelizing adventures for good.

    Episode #10: Joy Brooker- Part 1

    This month’s episode is Joy Brooker. Joy is a lovely person and social media content creator I’ve known for many years. In this episode we talk about her upbringing below the Mason-Dixon Line, how her father’s infidelity led to her family burning all her favorite music and movies, and her struggle with vaginismus. CW: This episode contains descriptions of sexual violence that may be triggering to some listeners. Discretion is advised.

    Episode #9: Chris Cyr

    This month’s guest is another one of my favorite comedians on the comedy scene, Chris Cyr! We talk about lots of growing up in nondenominational churches, including one that had the most controlling pastor I’ve ever heard of. Then we kinda sound off on our mutual love for fundamentalist whack jobs on social media, including my online nemesis, the Transformed Wife. It’s quite a fun episode.

    Episode #8: Jay H.

    Jay H. is my first ex-Mormon guest on the podcast and I was so excited to chat with her. We not only have shared experiences in purity culture but also other unique experiences that not a whole lot of people understand. We also try to answer the following questions: Are there automatically daddy issues going on when a girl crushes on Tom Selleck or could mustaches just be aesthetically appealing? How fun is it to get the sex talk from your mom with your stepdad in the room? And finally, what do you do when your boyfriend gets sent to juvie for doing the horrible crime of having sex before marriage ?

    Episode #7: Whitney Z.

    Whitney is a nice non-binary human being who agrees to be on my podcast. She said it was ok for me to use feminine pronouns today and also she has some shit to say about purity culture. We talk about fun things like moms critiquing our bodies and being self-conscious, being in love with your best friend at summer camp and not knowing it, and of course, creepy youth pastors.

    Episode #6: Lauren Peterson

    For today’s episode, I brought in my good comedian friend Emily Zell to interview me! So I’m telling my story, personal details and all! Our convo’s got everything: purity balls, generational trauma, needing professional help to find your clitoris, HIV, and loving religious Christmas songs despite being an apostate.

    Episode #5: Adam Parker- Part Two

    In this episode, we get really heavy into some comically unfortunate details about Adam and his ex-wife. Both Adam and his ex waited to have sex until they were married like good Christian virgins, but it didn’t turn out like youth pastors led them to believe. There were no sunshine, rainbows, or orgasms in this holy matrimony. We delve even deeper into his struggles with purity and self-esteem, his disastrous wedding night, his incompetent marriage counselor, as we try to answer the question: what kind of monster loses their virginity and commits adultery at the same time?

    Episode #4: Adam Parker- Part 1

    Adam Parker is another one of my good standup comic friends who’s got stories for days, and that’s why I split this conversation into 2 episodes. On this episode, we talk about being transplants to St. Louis, the fine art of speaking in tongues, millennial problems like dial up internet and buying software in a physical store, and of course, marrying the first person you’re in a serious relationship with because you’re.so.horny.

    Episode #3: Vincent Opper

    Today’s episode is all about another comedy buddy of mine, Vincent Opper. This is an especially cool perspective because he was actually a Southern Baptist minister for 20+ years. We talk about super cool Christian fun things like getting on random buses with strangers as a kid, True Love Waits, the lustful temptation of “I Love Lucy” and a queer theory reading of New Testament author Paul the Apostle

    Episode #2: “Redeeming Love” Movie Review with Emily Zell

    For the 2nd episode, I was originally slated to interview my fellow comedian Emily Zell, but as we started talking, we figured out that we had to go see “Redeeming Love” in theaters together and review it for the podcast. “Redeeming Love” is a 2022 movie directed by D.J. Caruso and based on the 1991 novel by the same name. Francine Rivers wrote both the original novel and the screenplay for the film. It stars Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis, Nina Dobrev and Eric Dane.

    Episode #1: Kalen Reece

    For the inaugural episode of Impure Thoughts, I’m so happy to sit down with former youth pastor and current hilarious comedian Kalen Reece! Kalen grew up in Oklahoma and has had a wild journey with Christianity. We talk about her upbringing in the church, being a grand pastor’s kid, Bible camp stories, becoming a youth pastor, saving herself for marriage, getting divorced, and finally, Macklemore.
