Let's face it. Being single in today's culture as a woman of faith can be a struggle. Kat Harris shares how to navigate today's dating culture with vision, clarity, and freedom.

Kat Harris is a woman who's never shied away from doing things her way.

From Bible major to editorial photographer to educator, and now the host of The Refined Collective Podcast, her vision is to be a voice of truth and hope while equipping women to walk in wholeness, worthiness, and freedom.

Kat's latest project is her brand new book, Sexless in the City: A Sometimes Sassy, Sometimes Painful, Always Honest Look at Dating, Desire, and Sex.

Quotes and statements within the interview:

"So I wrote a book in the pandemic."

"I like to say that Christianity was sort of the air I breathed."

"I really didn't start questioning a lot of those narratives until my mid-to-late twenties when I moved to New York City."

"We're gonna ask. We're gonna doubt. And it was scary."

"Most things I had learned from Christian culture felt as though to be a woman in the church was to be a liability."

"But in that space, I encountered a more loving, expansive God than I could have ever imagined."

"My body isn't bad."

"I think what happens in the church is that we flatten sexuality and make sexuality just about sex."

"There's a holistic mind, body, spirit invitation from God about who we are."

"I think sexuality is so much more than sex."

"If God is not ashamed of sex, we should not be ashamed of sex."

"I came to the concluding that sex is more than one physical act."

"I just think God is very concerned with our hearts."

"We're constantly too much and not enough."

"God can handle questions."
