Talking Back to Purity Culture

By Rachel Joy Welcher

Welcher charts a path forward for Christians in the ongoing debates about sexuality–one that rejects legalism and license alike, steering us back instead to the good news of Jesus.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
