Hello, hello.

What are we up to today?

Today's episode is going to be a good one.

A couple, almost like a month ago, we did two episodes.

One episode was about I Kiss Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris.

And then the next episode was about the book, The Woman They Wanted, which was written by

Shannon Harris, Joshua Harris's ex-wife.

For those that are just joining us now that aren't familiar,

I Kissed Dating Goodbye was a book that came out in 1997. It basically defined what purity culture was

for a lot of the evangelical movement through the late 90s, through the 2000s, even through much of

the 2010s. So a lot of people who are about our age, who are listeners to this show, grew up with the

teachings that are in this book.

If you want to go out and check out that episode and hear what we had to say about it,

it's just, I think, a couple of episodes ago, and you can just scroll back.
