Summary
Today we are sharing a conversation with Christian marriage and sex expert, Sheila Gregoire. Sheila is known for her podcast Bare Marriage and the multitude of books she’s written on the subject, including The Great Sex Rescue, The Marriage You Want, She Deserves Better, and a Good Girls Guide to Sex (just to name a few). Sheila and Katy discuss all things purity culture and complementarian theology and why hierarchy is bad for women, sex, marriages, and the church. Make sure you stick around for our bonus episode on Substack with Sheila where we discuss how even soft complementarianism is harmful for women and where they miss the mark on supporting women.
