In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, host Eric Skwarczynski reacts to a purity culture sermon preached by Eddie Lapina, assistant pastor at First Baptist Church of Hammond, at a youth conference.

Using two apples as an object lesson, Lapina compares sexual activity to bruising and "splitting open" fruit that forever loses it's value.

Eric unpacks the sermon's violent language around sex, the objectification baked into purity culture teaching, and how this kind of messaging disproportionately targets young women. He also reacts to the moment Lapina brings his own granddaughter on stage as a live illustration for the sermon, and shares insight from sex educator Erica Smith on how purity culture teaching can compound harm for survivors of sexual abuse.
