Is the message from God to women that you need to follow your husband and obey your

husband and that your main job is to submit or is the message to women from God that

you get to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. That's the question that we're going to be

looking at today on the Bear Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregwar from

Bear Marriage.com where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical

advice for your sex life and your marriage and one of the ways that we do that is by

pointing out when so much advice given in evangelical

circles has not been healthy, biblical, or evidence-based. And that's what we're

doing today. We're going to take a look at Martha Peace's book, The Excellent Wife, which sells really well in fundamentalist circles and in biblical counseling circles.

Who often use it as a textbook. So that is coming up. Before we get there, I want to say

thank you to the sponsor of this podcast, The Kingdom Girls Bible. Honestly, this is such a fun,

amazing Bible. It's great for girls, let's say ages 8 to 15, with all kinds of

amazing colorful photos and of women in the Bible that we sometimes don't think about.

And so take a look at that.

It's just such a great way for girls to feel included in the story.

I also want to thank our patrons who just let us do everything that we do but also behind

the scenes they give us so much encouragement and help us keep going and they post stuff

that I would never know about. So they're the ones

so often bring things to my attention so that I can talk about them on social

media and it's just it's my resource too. So you can join our patron for as

little as five dollars a month and get access to our exclusive

Facebook group.
