Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast. I'm Sheila Ray Gregwar from Bear Marriage.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 husband Keith.

Hey everybody.

And we are going to talk about evidence-based stuff

about whether or not there actually are

alpha males and what alpha males are actually like.

So this is going to be a fun one. Keith's done a ton of research

into the concept of alpha males in the wild and how that relates to how Christianity often talks about masculinity or rather current evangelicalism often talks about masculinity.

Certain parts of current evangelicals.

Yes, exactly.

So we're going to have some fun with that.

Before we do, I want to give a thank you to everyone who supports us.

Everyone who leaves reviews for the Great Sex Rescue, she deserves better. Good girls guide to great sex, good guys guide to great sex. Those always help us.

Reviews this podcast. When you rate it five star or leave a review, it just helps other people

see it. And of course, people who support us monetarily,

our patrons are just wonderful.

And I had an opportunity.

I was, last week, I was in Atlanta and Dallas,

and I got to meet up with some of our patrons

in Fort Worth at the Altamesa Chick-Fala. Just amazing to see them in person.

It kind of felt like coming home. It felt like a community and sometimes I feel like I'm just talking into the void and to meet people in the flesh who have read our books and have been impacted was it was really special for me I needed it. I knew that encouragement. So I want to say to you patrons who took such good care of my wife when she was away for me for that week.

Thank you so much because she came back so energized and it just really I was a real blessing to me to see her come back
