- Excellent info
As an evangelical Christian for the last 26 years, I find this content to be an excellent expository presentation of harmful teachings within the church related to marriage. I appreciate the way they dissect every harmful idea and call out authors and ministries by name. It’s important to know what Christian authors and ministries are endorsing harmful ideas. It’s heartbreaking to see so many marriages fail because of inappropriate advise from so-called Christian “experts”

United States2 months ago - Lack of courtesy
The podcasters continually interrupt and talk loudly over each other, and talk so fast that it seems like they are afraid they won’t get the opportunity to say what they want to say. I find it disrespectful to each other and disrespectful to the listeners. It’s a lack of basic courtesy, and makes it appear that each one thinks that what they are saying is more important than what the other person has to say.
Apple Podcasts1Fellow flatlanderUnited States3 months ago - Unhelpful content
Unfortunately I believe they are more about tearing down a group of people (evangelical men) than building up healthy marriages. Why play clips of other authors/speakers and criticize their motive for telling the truth? Isn’t all that matters is that they are telling the truth?
I don’t like how Sheila and Rebecca talk about other others/speakers they don’t agree with.
Also, their arguments about what Luke 6 and Matthew 7 say about good fruit are weak. They were called out on incorrect interpret... more
Apple Podcasts1Brism7United States3 months ago - Sadly misguided
I used to really like Sheila’s content—she was encouraging intimate enjoyment and freedom in intimacy for women. Biblically.
Sadly it seems now she is out to bash men… Christian men. And Christian ministries.
My husband asked me when was the last time she had her people attack “gentlemen’s clubs” or sex trafficking rings… the real monsters.
Nope—she goes after ministries that are trying to encourage marriage and following the Bible the best they know how.
Maybe she’ll change back…? I kno... more
Apple Podcasts1AnnieFocusdUnited States5 months ago - Biblical, evidence based, straight to the truth!
These podcasts will really challenge you to examine your beliefs and what you've internalized and help you to compare it to Scripture to decide for yourself if individual teachings are TRULY based on the Bible, or someone's faulty interpretation of it for selfish gain. I love all of the interviews Sheila does with people of all different backgrounds. Conservative, Liberal and all on between. Let's take politics and preconceived notions out of the Bible and juat be concerned with what JESUS teach... more
