What happens if the church steals your sex life and the church isn't necessarily a safe place for you?

That's what we're going to be talking about today on the bear marriage podcast.

I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from bearmarriage.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

daughter Rebecca Lindenbach. Hello. And we're going to be joined by Dr. Andrew Bowman in a minute

for an interview. But before we get to Andrew, Becca, let's talk about our Patreon. Yes, thank you,

Patrions. Patrons. So the website's called Patreon, but the people who give money are called

patrons. Are they? I never know what to say. And we are never able to get this right.

No, we really aren't. Thank you patrons of our Patreon. So if you,

if you like what we do, if you appreciate how we're trying to change the conversation about

sex and marriage in the evangelical church, you can join us and support us by going to

patreon.com slash bear marriage. And even if you give us little as $5 a month, it can help,

help fund our research and you get to join our exclusive Facebook

group. And if you want to give more money, you can also get tax deductible receipts within the

United States as part of the Good Fruit Faith initiative of the Bosco Foundation. And the links

to those are in the podcast notes. Also remember to subscribe to this podcast, wherever you

watch it on YouTube or listen to it on any of your podcast

apps rate at five stars if you can and it just helps other people find us. Now, Becca, I'm going to

be having you back after our interview with Andrew because I asked on social media yesterday for

people to share their stories of if they feel like the church has stolen

their sex life. And I just got so many responses. I didn't even know what to do about it.

And so I thought we could just read through some of them. And I'll see what you think.
