The One Thing You Can't Do

D.L. chats with Devi Abraham about the wildly popular novel (and now movie) Redeeming Love.  We delve into some of the troubling elements of the story, discuss why it holds such an appeal for evangelical women, and touch on some related aspects of purity culture (Devi’s speciality!) as well.  Devi Abraham is a writer and co-host of the podcast Where Do We Go from Here?, tackling sex and purity culture. Follow her on twitter @devi_writes and check out her website. You can find more information about our Faith and Justice Network cohort here! We’d love to have you join us this fall to untangle white evangelism together. We have a website—check it out for more information. You can also find us on Twitter and Instagram. To support our show (we can’t do this without you!), join us on Patreon! You’ll get access to our monthly patron-only episodes (including the entire backlog), as well as occasional zoom hangouts. You can join this community for as little as $1.50 a month! Cover art by Zech Bard.
