Join B-Notes and Rubi-Jai as they welcome Joe and Ramona Bailey (author of the Sexplosion Workbook) for a Sexplicit conversation to help shed light on God's word found in Hebrews 13:4 NASB "the marriage bed is to be undefiled". Joe and Ramona Bailey established the marriage ministry of Abide In The Word to educate husbands and wives in the knowledge of God's Word, counsel in the understanding of God's Word, and mentor, personal one-on-one discipleship, to apply God's Word. They have been serving and ministering to couples for 31 years. Married for over 33 years, to each other and no other, they have two adult sons, Jonathan and Jarrod.
