On today’s Equipping You in Grace show, Dave and Jen Oshman discuss freedom, sexual ethics, purity culture, and her new book, Cultural Counterfeits: Confronting 5 Empty Promises of Our Age and How We Were Made for So Much More (Crossway, 2022).

- How Scripture’s teaching on freedom is a better word than our culture’s.
- The right way to live in a culture obsessed with our bodies.
- How we don’t value sex enough.
- Concerns about the current abortion discussion and why.
- Identity in Christ and sexual ethics.
- Concerns about the purity movement.
