Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast, I'm Sheila Ray Gregoer from To Love, Honor, and Vacuum where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your marriage and your sex life.

And today, I'm going to share a story with you. You know last year we

we published the Great Sex Rescue which was based on our survey of 20,000

women and each one of those women has their own story. You have your own

story and every day I hear from so many people who are coming out of difficult marriages or difficult churches or

maybe great marriages but they just were stuck and a lot of the reasons they

were stuck was because of the things that they had been taught.

And I hear constantly that reading our book, The Great Sex Rescue, or reading our newer books,

the Good Girls Guide to Great Sex, the Good Guys Guide to Great great sex are helping people find not just freedom in the bedroom

but find Christ for the first time. And so I have a woman's story that I want to share with you today.

I'm going to be interviewing Emily Elizabeth Anderson from Thriving Forward, who grew up largely

in a cult and experienced sexual abuse and sexual harassment there and is now on the other side.

And I thought her story could help give some of you hope and insight and maybe into what you're going through as well.

Before I turn to her though, I do want to do a special shout out on how you can

help us and support this podcast. So we do have a Patreon, yay! For as little as five

dollars a month you can help support the work that we do getting our work into social media spaces that we can't

monetize right now getting our research into peer review journals we're going to be doing a big

push for that now that our manuscript our latest manuscript is in for our mother-daughter

book which is coming up next year.

We have unfiltered podcasts, we have merch, we have all kinds of neat perks, so I will put the

link in the podcast notes, it's Patreon.
