Reclaiming Women's Voices: Challenging Harmful Sexual Theology in the Church - w/ Suzie Lind & Katie Haseltine
Voxology
Is the Gospel Pictured by Sex?
I don't think that the gospel is pictured by sex. I think it's a kinship unit. And obviously Josh would disagree. So, yeah, there's so much more to say but I want to get to the interview.
Explore how harmful teachings on sexuality within the church have impacted women, and how reclaiming mutuality, consent, and healthy theology can lead to healing and transformation. Join hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford as they welcome guests Susie Lind and Katie Haseltine to discuss the damaging effects of purity culture and the importance of including women's perspectives in conversations about sexuality and theology.
Key Takeaways:
- The Harm of Purity Culture – Understanding how purity culture and certain church teachings have negatively affected women's views on sexuality, leading to shame, trauma, and unhealthy relationships.

- Women's Perspectives in Theology – Emphasizing the importance of including women's experiences and voices in theological discussions to foster a more holistic understanding.
