At age 25, saving oneself for marriage requires a lot of Extra Virgin Effort. It’s hard to be a woke modern woman when the Rapture could happen at any moment - and risk being a virgin forever! Plus, there are many other stresses in your 20s such as Extra Virgin STD's, impressing purity upon your future husband and your period being late - virginity has not stopped God before.
Join Kirsten in this gutsy paradox of modern life and faith. Contradiction takes centre stage with stories of awkward encounters and heartfelt rawness. Come explore how, whether virgins or sex addicts, atheists or Christians, puritans or liberals, we’re not so different after all.
