In every generation it seems like God raises up certain individuals to fight to say

this is not okay with me and to call the rest of us to do better.

Well we're going to hear one such story today of Krista Brown and her fight to hold the

SBC accountable for the sexual abuse crisis.

It's riveting, I so admire Krista and I think as you hear her story the question is going to occur to all of us too is well what can we do? What is our role in all of this and how can we help? At least I hope that's what you'll take away from it.

Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast.

I'm Sheila Ray Greguar and here at Bear Marriage

we like to give healthy, evidence-based,

biblical advice for your sex life and your marriage and a lot of that depends on the church

that you grew up in and so we'll be talking about wider issues in the church today and I'm so

glad that you've joined us. Before we turn to Krista of course I want to say thank you to those who make it possible

for us to do what we do.

And so a special shout out to our patrons.

And when you give money, even just $5 a month, it helps support us.

It helps keep the podcast and the blog going because as we have grown over the last few

years and as our impact has grown staff costs and all kinds of costs have grown as well and

we spend so much time just trying to get new material out there

so when you support us it really does make a difference and it's our patrons who

allowed us to do our huge study recently for our marriage book that's coming out in the spring, the marriage you want, so they

funded the survey for that.

And it's just a fun place we get access to a Facebook group, which is kind of like my safe

space online. So we will put the link in the podcast notes to Patreon.com
