What's it like to have written a best-seller that people now hate?

Although promoting abstinence before marriage has long been a thing, in the 1990's in the US, on the tails of the 80's party culture & AIDS epidemic, there was a movement throughout the church to "stay pure before marriage."

This was around the time a 21 year old Joshua Harris wrote a best-selling book preached from many a youth group pulpit: I Kissed Dating Goodbye.
A lot has changed since then, including Josh's feelings about dating & s*x.

In episode 345 [REMASTERED] you'll hear:

👉What it’s like to change your mind on something tied to your identity & income
👉His biggest concern with dating now
👉The connection between your s*x life & your career
