In this episode we spoke with Sheila Wray Gregoire, founder of Bare Marriage and the author of many books, and Marissa Burt, author of the upcoming Brazos Press book The Myth of Good Christian Parenting: How False Promises Betrayed a Generation of Evangelical Families.
Dominion theology begets dominating over families. Sex becomes a conquering act, not the beautiful union of a man and a woman who love one another. Women are receptacles for the pleasure of men, marriage a plan for taking over the world, and spanking kids the key to obedience and warriors in the quiver of the father. Mothers required only because they're needed for the birth, not because they contribute anything, but because men can't do it on their own.
Sex is beautiful, families are beautiful, and children are beautiful. But none of these are ultimate. All of these are wonderful blessings of God. But none are tools for our gain.The Savior who laid his claim to rule to be put under the rule asks us to do the same.

| 0:00.0 | Evangelochals have had a wealth of resources available to them over the past 50 years on marriage, sex, and parenting. |
| 0:07.0 | Books upon books upon books. |
| 0:10.0 | Pastors, counselors, influencers, and lay people alike have tried their hand and have succeeded at selling tens of millions of how-to guides, |
| 0:18.0 | building a successful marriage, having lots of sex, raising up godly |
| 0:22.3 | children. The only problem? They weren't any good. More than that, they were misleading, |
| 0:28.6 | not based on any research, and harmful. They rode the wave of the 60s and 70s Christian publishing |
| 0:34.5 | boom, many being far more concerned with sales volume and the conference |
| 0:38.8 | circuit than they were with research-backed, typically sound advice. |
| 0:43.4 | The results of these books? |
| 0:45.4 | Men have an insatiable sex drive. Think about it 25 hours a day and cannot seem to get a grip |
| 0:51.4 | on it. Women sort of care about sex, but they needed to be available, |
| 0:56.0 | prepare themselves for their husbands. They were more like outlets. And children? Nothing but |
| 1:02.5 | devils and diapers on one end of the spectrum, or the glue that holds two people together. |
| 1:08.4 | Give enough time to bake these ideas presented a problem. Marriages suffer |
| 1:12.3 | because the husbands don't feel respected and don't get enough sex. Women don't feel loved, |
| 1:17.5 | and children keep believing the faith. Enter the dominioness, those who need to fill the earth |
| 1:23.7 | and multiply their seed. They got to populate the world with more Christians, with happier marriages, and obedient children. |
| 1:30.9 | If we're ever going to fix society's issues, we need to get rid of the baddies and fill |

| 1:42.8 | Wives check in with other wives to make sure the husbands are satisfied. |
| 1:46.2 | And children walk on eggshells. Terrified, they aren't happy enough, obedient enough, Christian enough, |
