Welcome to 2020.

Yay!

Sort of.

I'm Sheila Ray Greig, girlfriend, bear marriage.com when we like to talk about healthy evidence-based

biblical advice, fear, sex life, and your marriage.

And I am joined today by my daughter Rebecca.

Hello, hello, hello.

And we are going to talk about safety today and how a lot of Christian messaging,

specifically around marriage, but not only around marriage, just the stuff that we just see on social media every day, actually can make us feel unsafe.

And what can we do to actually get a better Jesus-focused view of this stuff?

And how can we look at this stuff and actually apply some critical thought to it?

before we do. I want to say special thank you so much to everyone who donated to our campaign.

which is our research arm

and the arm that helps support our work and getting our work into other hands and in front of

other eyeballs that we can't monetize. Exactly. And so we got to, I think it was like 94.2% of our goal

or something like that, which is just amazing. So if you want to help us make up

that extra 5.8%, you can get you, the link is in the podcast notes to give. And we would so appreciate

monthly donors. If we got enough monthly donors, then I wouldn't have to send out these
