Listen: Jessica Van Der Wyngaard chats to Laura Bennett.

In this episode of Power Lunch with Laura, we hear from Australian filmmaker Jessica Van Der Wyngaard, who directed and produced I Survived I Kissed Dating Goodbye.

Jessica talks about the book ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye’ which shaped Christian dating culture in the 90s, why its author Joshua Harris had a change of heart about its contents, and her experience following Josh with a camera as he met with the book’s fans and critics. Jessica completed the project as part of her Masters in Theology Studies degree at Regent College, where Joshua Harris was a fellow student.
