This text analyzes, based on an ethnographic study in a camp of the evangelical movement "Eu Escolhe Esperar" (EEE), how Christian youth experience a project of sexuality and emotion management. The fieldwork reveals the resignification of bodily practices, emotional expressions and sociabilities through religious categories, producing specific forms of subjectivity. The EEE uses pedagogical strategies involving external controls and technologies of self-management of desires and affects. The digital dimension emerges as a constitutive part of this religious experience.
