Customer Reviews
Life and marriage changing !
I grew up in a loose Christian household being taught without realizing it that I need to be the dominant figure in the household, when I become married. After getting saved and coming to know Jesus as my personal savior, I was mentored by a group of Christians that did not help with this mentality. I married a wonderful woman that has endured this false theology of mine and so many others for years I personally had a very skewed theology on how God views women. This left my marriage of 10 years in shambles and I didn’t know what to do, it seems like what I believe to be true wasn’t right, after seeking help from our pastor at the time it was getting us no where. My wife found these podcast’s through a friend of hers, and it has been life-changing for me. Each episode is mind blowing to me because I identify with everything they talk about and I wish I would’ve seen this years ago.I am continually praising God for Sheila’s work. Even if this help has come too late for my marriage I know better now and that is what matters.
Changing my life!
The work these people are doing, the research and calling out of improper teachings in evangelicalism regarding women’s roles in marriage and in the church, is saving lives. I especially love the way they unpack and explain the REAL meaning of scripture verses that are used against wives so often like “Wives must submit to their husbands” & “Do not withhold…”. So many books recommended by my trusted spiritual leaders have toxic messages. I have thrown them out thanks to The Bare Marriage team!! Every episode I listen to, I have gotten some kind of validation about my thoughts or feelings regarding my marriage, and a deeper understanding of God’s love for me. I used to listen to Focus on the Family on my commutes to work. This is a much better, and healthier, replacement!

She’s building a following and career off bashing men and the church. I don’t trust her.
