Carly Pearce is a proud "Church Girl," but now she's preaching the gospel of acceptance.
The Grammy-winning country singer, who reflected on her Christian faith on the song "Church Girl," opened up about how her faith impacted her view of sexuality in an interview with Fox News Digital published Monday, March 23.
Released in January, the song's candid lyrics tackle Pearce's inner conflict about reconciling the moral standards of religion and individuality.
"Hey, church girl, doing everything wrong, walking on eggshells with your high heels on," Pearce, 35, sings. "Hey, church girl, with the jezebel dress. Better take it off, you're making all the boys think sex."
"I think why I loved [the song] so much is because as a woman of faith, especially in the South, it comes with a lot of things from your childhood," said Pearce, who was born and raised in Kentucky. "You know, around sex shame or the judgment and guilt that a lot of us feel just trying to navigate living a life that's Christ-like, if you will."
