In this podcast, Kara took the opportunity to interview a man who reframed her story as a youth, her youth minister Ken Grant. Kara was a teenager in the 90s when youth groups were all the rage and the purity movement was in full swing. Kara considers herself lucky that though she was influenced by the purity culture, she never got the message from her youth minister that she needed to be demure.
