My Take On The Summer I Turned Pretty as a Christian

MP3•Episode home

Today I’m unpacking the viral teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty — but from a Christian perspective. Let’s be honest, the show is EVERYWHERE. From team debates (Conrad vs. Jeremiah) to dreamy beach scenes, it’s got everyone hooked… but is it actually healthy for us to watch?

I get super real about what the show glamorizes — from toxic love triangles to pre-marital sex — and why it’s so easy to get caught up in fictional love stories. I also talk about emotional purity and how women especially can fall into fantasy traps that pull us away from truth. 👀

Honestly, I watch this show, so this episode isn’t about canceling fun — it’s about learning to watch with discernment and not letting shows define your standards for love.
