It's been a minute and this one has been sitting in the hopper for a while. I'll be honest, I don't know what the future hold for this podcast, but I'll plug along as things come along. But I didn't want to just leave this one just hanging out there in the cyber void because its a good one!

Shelia and I talk about her newest book "She deserved better" and we cover everything from DARVO to consent to sex ed in the 90's.

Enjoy!

Shelia Wray Gregoire, best selling author of The Great Sex Rescue, blogger and podcast host of The Bare Marriage Podcast, joins me today as we discuss weird sex advice from Evangelicals, the harm Purity Culture did, and her campaign to reframe sex for Christians.

Disclaimer: This conversation has value for everyone. Even is you no longer identify as a Christian. but especially if you grew up in the Conservative Evangelical South like I did. If you've been listening for very long at all then you probably know I'm no longer in the space. And while hypothetically, Shelia and I may have disagreed on the definition of marriage and who that includes or excludes, or how we interpret the Bible...seeing eye to eye on everything is not the point. We still had PLENTY to talk about.
