Welcome to the Bear Marriage podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from Bear Marriage.com, where we like to talk about healthy, evidence-based, biblical

advice, fear, sex life, and your marriage. And this is a really exciting time for us because

our new marriage book, The Marriage You Want, launches on March 11th. And we're just having so much

fun looking through the data. We're starting our launch team on Monday, next to Monday, January 27th, but you can get an

invite to it right now if you send in your pre-order receipt for the marriage you want.

Just send it to pre-order at marriage you want book.com.

The link is also in the podcast notes.

But this book has been a long time coming, and it's been so much on our hearts because

we've written about sex, like at infinitum.

We've said so much about what the evangelical church teaches about sex.

But what if we could do something healthy from the ground up?

What if we could fix what they say about marriage?

What if we could make it healthy?

And what if we could stop couples from getting into the

problems that so many have experienced because of toxic teachings in other books? What if we could get

back to what Jesus wanted? And that's what we're trying to do in the marriage you want. And so today,

Keith and I, to set up, we're starting going through the book next week, but before we do, there's

one other thing

that we really want to talk about. And that's, why is it that so many evangelical books do cause

harm? What's the commonality? And so I'm going to bring my husband Keith on to talk about that

right now. All right, babe. Back around 20 years ago, you and I started speaking at Family Life Canada Marriage

Conferences. Do you remember that? Yeah, it was a long time ago. We were in our like mid-30s.
