In our wide-ranging conversation with Sheila you'll hear: How Sheila discovered the harm that some best-selling Christian marriage books were causing readers and what she's doing about it How the beauty and intimacy of sex as God created it goes so far beyond intercourse How the message of purity culture was hurtful to so many Why we need to be curious about the marriage resources and advice we take in Why Sheila is hopeful for the future of Christian marriage and the church  Resources You can find Sheila's books, podcasts and blog along with many other incredibly helpful resources at baremarriage.com Next Steps We feel so honoured and humbled when our listeners reach out for prayer, support and encouragement. We don't have all the answers but we do love praying for others and helping couples find hope and healing for their marriages in Christ's power.
