Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Greg Ware from Bear Marriage.com where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your sex life and your marriage. And I am joined today by my two co-authors for the great sex rescue my daughter Rebecca Lindenbach and Joanna Swatsky is joining us from across the country.

Hi there.

And this is our second podcast of 2023.

Yay.

This is like our fourth year doing this now.

I don't even know.

Our fourth year, I think so. Yeah because we started in January before I had a baby. Yeah we started two weeks before

my world caved in and we realized what love and respect was.

Exactly.

And that started us on this whole big journey

that we've been on ever since.

And so one of the things we often do at the beginning of podcasts

is we say thank you to our patrons who helps support us and I just thought

before we get going on the main focus of today's podcast I've got a great guest Becky Castle Miller is coming on to talk about emotions and and how God made us to be emotional beings.

But I thought we could do a patron update and just thank the people who've been supporting us and let you all know what's going on behind the scenes because it's really exciting.

Yes, yes, it's been a very busy year. It has been and here's what happens.

For those of you who don't know, there's this there's this cool. I don't know what to call it like a website or it's it's a

like a crowd funding website where you can subscribe to support someone. Yeah and it doesn't it doesn't cost very much like you can join for as little or as much as you want you know if anyone wants to give us 400 bucks a month you can give us more

a month but most people give you around 5, 10, 15 bucks a month

and they get access to an exclusive Facebook group

at different levels of support.

You get merch, unfilted podcast, things like that.
