I watch the trailer and see a two-second clip of the actress wearing a blindfold, and I know this is a line I don’t dare to cross. Because if I’m a moth, this is the brightest flame I've ever seen.
"It’s like the authors are sweeping a flashlight beam across the skeletons huddling in my closet."
"I may still be in the minority, but there are other outliers, other odd ones, other women like me. And someone is starting a search party for the lost girls." CHILLS at that last one
Thank you for your honesty and bravery in sharing this!
Thank you so much! I'll look into that book to see if it's something I can read and recommend to others :) I'm pretty picky about Christian books on the topic of sexual purity because unfortunately they can take a more legalistic stance that I don't think is helpful, especially for people who are already struggling with shame — but there seems to be a growing trend of these books that have a good balance of grace and truth, which I'm thankful for!
I was moved reading your article last night and then went to an event for the linked ministry. The two events seemed correlated so I thought I would share. Wishing you all of God’s blessings this Lent. https://www.magdalaministries.org
Thank you for sharing this! I will absolutely look into this resource — always love having new recommendations to share with other women who are struggling <3

Thank you Rachael! Those may be my favorite lines too, hehe
Hi there! Thank you for sharing this. This must've took courage and I admire that.
I'd recommend Helen Thorne's Purity is Possible (if you haven't heard of it). Good read about sexual purity particularly among Christian women.
