Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Greguar from Bear Marriage.com

where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your

sex life and your marriage and I have a really really great conversation

coming up later on the podcast with my husband Keith. Recently in France there's a

criminal case that is making headlines all over the world and I want to talk about it. I'm angry and I want to talk about the intersection of that case with the way that evangelicals talk about sex.

And it's going to be a fire conversation,

but if you are really, if sexual assault is something

that's difficult for you to hear about,

you might want to just listen to the first

half of this podcast and then skip that conversation.

But there is stuff I just need to say.

It is burning inside me and so even though I had another podcast scheduled for this week,

listening to that case in France,

I knew there was something else I had to say.

Because we as evangelical Christians cannot,

we absolutely cannot permit the conversation around sex that is happening right now to continue,

not the way it is, because we are enabling sexual assault.

And so that's coming up in a minute. But before I get to that,

there's something important that I need to say. A couple of weeks ago I made an offhand comment in a

podcast. I don't even remember what podcast it was now, but I said that, you know, Jesus is the word of God.

Jesus is the ultimate word and we interpret scripture through Jesus.

And I have had so many social media messages and emails about that with people not having a clue what I'm talking about.
