Title: S4EP11, I Didn't Realize What A Dark Place I Was In with Jerry Dale
Summary:
"Music, Porn & Jesus," is the name of Jerry Dale's book. How do those 3 words go together? That's what we talk about in our fascinating conversation. Jerry was raised in two worlds: the hood and the white neighborhood - so he knew both. His grandfather and father had side hussles that also became natural for Jerry. His love for music brought him into the music business. Even though he was raised believing in Jesus, he rationalized his involvement in the dark side of the music industry.
He went deeper and eventually found his way into the porn industry. Jerry produced two of the Porn Awards shows in Dallas. It was a natural progression, but deep inside, Jerry knew that something was wrong.
Jerry's book is a raw, authentic look at his "Journey to Redemption." You will be educated, relate, and potentially, be saved by reading it and listening to our conversation.
I thank Jerry for his courage, commitment, and fresh passion for his new way of life.
