“Remembering that IBLP homeschool groups want to run our country the way they run their homes, I suddenly realized why it mattered so much that I talk about what it’s like in those households. I could tell the public what it’s really like. No female vote. No consent. No contraception. No choice. No careers... Closets. Suppression. Book bans.”

“There were enough Marjorie Taylor Greenes and Lauren Boeberts and Kellyanne Conways to remind me that toxic patriarchy needs women to survive.”

“Purity culture hadn’t prepared me for healthy sexuality. Keeping sweet hadn’t equipped me to speak up about abuse. Waiting for touch to happen all at once hadn’t allowed my nervous system to acclimate to intimacy. Doctors weren’t evil agents of a New World Order. Scaring me to hell hadn’t led to loving Jesus. Cutting off gay friends didn’t make them straight.”

“Never had I ever had that same feeling in church. There were no rules in the woods—only an experience of supreme love. I didn’t want to bury that love in rules ever again. My doubts and questions either. Love exceeded belief. Curiosity conveyed love more than any litany of principles and answers, because to be curious is to be free.”
