About this listen

I grew up in the Southern Baptist church of the '90s during the height of the True Love Waits movement, accompanied by Joshua Harris’ best seller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. If you don’t know what I am referring to, consider yourself blessed.

Many of the ideas perpetuated by this culture were infused with fear and shame, offering no practical help or guidance in equipping young people to become healthy sexual human beings. As I approached adulthood, I became accustomed to feeling shame around my sexuality; trying to white-knuckle purity and falling short over and over again. This left me feeling full of self-hatred and hopelessness.

I hope for this book to serve as the guide I wish I’d had, providing comfort and clarity to those who find themselves in a similar struggle for sexual health. I have written these essays not only for men, but also for women who want to understand what healthy sexuality can look like in a partner.

May this book be life-giving to your sexual healing. May courage accompany you as you engage with these essays of spirituality, sexuality, and restoration.
