Healing from Purity Culture involves conversations of how Evangelical communities have created undue amounts of anxiety and pressure for men as well as women.   We talk with Zachary Wagner (@zacharycwagner), author of the new book Non-Toxic Masculinity, about the importance of deconstructing simplistic, reductive practices of manhood and reimagining new ways that men can conceptualize themselves and create meaningful relationships.   Zach talks with us about:

• Why Does the Book Matter Now:
• Generational Understandings of Masculinity
• The Power of the Purity Movement
• Purity Books 
• The Effects of Christian Literature
• Purity Culture and Sex 
• Violence as a Result of Purity Culture 
• Purity Camp 
• Reducing Each Other's Humanity 
• Healing
