Interview on God Complex Radio Today

So, today I had the total thrill and pleasure of talking with Carol Howard Merritt and Bruce Reyes-Chow on their most-excellent show, God Complex Radio. This was a huge honor for me as the show has a great following and an esteemed list of guests, but boy let me tell you some of the questions were really in-depth!

This was the first time I’d really talked about Pure in terms of it being a “teen issue” book, or speaking from the position of being any kind of advisor on teen development and psychology (Which I am not really!), so I worried I fumbled a bit, but there were some amazingly enlightening (and tough) questions, including “What can we do to help girls get to a point where [where Naeomi is in the book] they can feel this kind of promise would be something they made for themselves?” “What advice can you give to us parents as we begin coaching our own daughters through this phase of their lives?” and “What does this do to our teens’ psyches, making them promise–to God–not to do something? And then what happens to them when they do it?”

Apparently the sound wasn’t very good on my end (I did the whole thing via cell phone), but if you want to hear the whole interview you can check it out at http://godcomplexradio.com/!

Thanks Carol and Bruce for having me, and for a great discussion!
