Flipped Table Theology
A weekly conversation centered around flipping tables of oppression, injustice, privilege, division, and religion as acts of faith and worship. Our team of hosts' varied lived experiences and perspectives will catalyze deep, challenging discussions that we hope will serve as the starting point for conversations in listeners' lives.

Conversation #47: Deconstructing Purity Culture
TW: this episode mentions experiences of rape and sexual violence/trauma.
Our team deconstructed the harm that has been caused by purity culture, especially to women, but with an awareness to the trauma and harm experienced by the nonbinary/queer community.
This conversation was heavy and activating for all of us, but felt incredibly important to have as this continues to cause so much religious trauma for so many in the church.
We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. We are moving our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group to a group on BAND to give people a way to connect outside of mainline social media platforms. Connect this discussion group for a place to create connections and conversations.
