| 0:23.6 | So today on the podcast, we have Jay Parker with us. Jay Parker is a Christian intimacy author and speaker. It is her mission to reclaim |
| 0:29.3 | sexuality for marriages as God intended. So we're so thankful to have Jay Parker with us today. |
| 0:34.4 | Thanks for being with us, Jay. Thanks for inviting me. Absolutely. Well, |
| 0:38.3 | this month we're talking a lot about romance and an undoubtedly essential part of that is sex. |
