Send us a text Two major studies today prove what we've been saying: purity culture makes people unable to recognize marital and date rape as actual rape, and male porn use hurts women regardless of their attitude toward it—though religious women suffer more because of the scripts we've been given. Then I interview Joash Thomas about his book The Justice of Jesus, where he explains how Western Christianity lost biblical justice because colonizers taught a purely "spiritual" gospel to benefit themselves.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I've been single for a few years and was desperate for sex, so started an affair with a friend of a friend. I knew he was married, and it's not my style to sleep with married men, but we all got drunk at a party and it happened. The sex was incredible, so we did it again. We've been meeting for sex about once a fortnight for a year now. To me, that's all it is—sex. So imagine my surprise when he told me he wants to leave his wife for me. I have no interest at all in a relationship with him. He's said he's hinted to her that there might be someone else and told the mutual friend who introduced us what's been going on. I'm going to come out of this looking very bad. How do I manage it?2) I've been with my husband for 13 years and our sex is pretty good. We both used to take turns initiating sex, which is about once a week. Lately, he's stopped initiating and leaves it up to me. He's very happy to have sex when I do, but I don't like it. I gently asked why he's stopped taking the lead, and he said he hadn't noticed any change so I just let it drop, but it's bothering me. 3) I'm 31 and my boyfriend of two years is 25. We're both really open about sex and he admitted early on to being addicted to porn and masturbation. He hasn't done either—watched porn or masturbated—for over a year now. He's in such a healthy place that I asked him if he wanted to start again. He was adamant that he doesn't, for fear of becoming addicted again. Is that likely? I'm at a loss of what to do because I don't want him to feel unloved or restricted.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

In this episode of The Naked Gospel Podcast, Nick Liberto and Wailer tackle one of the boldest claims you'll ever hear: great sex could actually save the world. They unpack why God's design for intimacy is about so much more than pleasure; it's about discipleship, family legacy, and cultural transformation. From biblical insights to historical lessons from the fall of Rome, this conversation reframes sex as central to both marriage and mission.Along the way, they confront the lies the church has inherited, expose how silence has crippled generations, and paint a compelling vision of what happens when couples embrace sex as holy, purposeful, and deeply joyful. Whether you're single, married, or raising kids, this episode will challenge how you think about intimacy and inspire you to see it as one of God's greatest gifts for personal and global renewal.Support the show

Great sex doesn't just happen, it's something we build and nurture over time. This week, we're joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles, a nationally recognized OB-GYN, menopause and sexual health expert, and fierce advocate for women's pleasure. She's here to talk about why rethinking sex in your 20s and 30s is the key to having great sex for life, how to close the “bedroom gap,” and why better sex education matters for every generation. Why your 20s and 30s set the stage for lifelong sexual health. Dr. Sophocles explains how your early approach to intimacy impacts desire, connection, and pleasure as you age. The bedroom gap and why it matters. Learn what the bedroom gap is, why women are most impacted, and how we can close it. The missing piece in most sex education. We talk about why traditional sex ed focuses on fear instead of pleasure and how that leaves us unprepared. How to rethink sex as a skill you can grow. From communication to curiosity, Dr. Sophocles shows us why sex isn't static and how it can keep evolving. The role of menopause in sexual health. Understand how desire and arousal change in midlife and what support actually works. Why talking about sex matters. Breaking down shame and silence is the first step toward better intimacy and pleasure. Practical steps for better sex at any age. Dr. Sophocles shares accessible tips for people to feel more confident and connected in the bedroom.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) What's your view on ‘O-shots'? My friend had one after menopause and says it rejuvenated her vagina back to what it was in her 30s. She says sex is amazing again. They are expensive, but I'm tempted. Are they safe, and what's your take on them?2) So I know what you're going to tell me, but I'm asking anyway: I'm 43, divorced, and have been single for three years. My daughter is 24 and recently broke up with her boyfriend. Her ex and I always ‘play flirted,' and I've always found him sexy. But, I got quite a shock when he texted me after the breakup saying he can't stop thinking of me and would I consider meeting up with him. My body screams yes—I haven't had sex in two years and would kill to do it with him—but what would my daughter say if she found out? I feel like I deserve this, but don't want to put my relationship with her in jeopardy. 3) What do you do when you can't leave an unhappy marriage? I've been belittled by my partner for years and he's behaved extremely badly. I stayed because my self-esteem was so low. Just when I'd plucked up the courage to leave—after telling friends the truth of what's been going on—he delivers his news: he's been diagnosed with cancer. I know what I'm in for—my life will now be spent caring for a man who doesn't deserve the kindness this will take. But what would people say if I up and left now?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Send us a textWe all want to raise kids without sexual hang-ups, but a lot of Christian parents are accidentally creating the very problems they're trying to avoid. Rebecca and I dive into the three biggest ways this happens: being way too open about your own sex life with your kids (no, they don't need to know what you and your husband did last night), making a federal case out of normal teenage sexual development like masturbation, and approaching pornography with so much shame and "sin talk" that you actually make the problem worse. But here's the good news: our course, The Whole Story, will give you the tools and language to appropriately talk about all of these things!Then Keith joins me to tackle that age-old marriage question about whether wives just need to have more sex to make husbands nicer - spoiler alert: you're asking the wrong question entirely, and obligation sex isn't going to save your marriage.THE WHOLE STORY COURSE!Check out our sex and puberty course--it's on sale until Monday September 22 at midnight! TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!LINKS MENTIONED:Our books She Deserves Better, The Great Sex Rescue, and The Marriage You WantBreaking Free from Narcissistic AbuseWhen love turns toxic, this podcast helps you make sense of the chaos and start to heal.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Marriage You Want and the Study Guide The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) You've talked about penis size and sensitivity, but I haven't heard you talk about clitoris size in that regard. I used to have a normal size clitoris, but after taking testosterone to help with low libido, it seems to have tripled in size. I have stronger orgasms now—but it takes so much longer to climax. I can't figure out the right spot anymore: the sensitive area seems to have moved. Any advice on how to find it again?2) My boyfriend is obsessed with one of my friends. I've only met her recently and she is very attractive and posts a lot online. I trust him, but I recently caught him masturbating while watching a video of her online. It's completely freaked me out. Does this mean he's going to leave me for her or would rather be with her? 3) How can you tell if your partner is a sex addict? My new partner has admitted to a history of repeated cheating, and, while he wants lots of sex, he seems disconnected from me. He never makes eye contact during sex. My gut tells me something isn't right. I don't know him well enough to tell if he's watching lots of porn, but he is paranoid about me picking up his phone. Am I overreacting or sensing something?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Most men think great sex is about technique. However, women secretly crave something entirely different. In this podcast, I reveal the five things women wish men knew about what really turns them on. Miss these, and you'll always feel like something's missing in the bedroom.

Send us a textWe're constantly told that more sex will fix our marriages, but the research tells a completely different story. When couples are simply told to increase frequency without addressing quality, satisfaction, and women's actual experiences, it often backfires and decreases desire altogether. The real predictor of marital happiness isn't how often you're having sex—it's whether that sex is mutually satisfying, intimate, and pleasurable for both people. Unfortunately, evangelical sex advice keeps pushing obligation sex messages that treat women's exhaustion and needs as obstacles to overcome rather than valid concerns. It's time we start asking better questions about what makes sex actually good instead of just demanding more of it.OUR SPONSOR:Check out the book Better Ways to Read the Bible--to transform the way you see Scripture, and let it come alive again if it's been used as a weapon against you.TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!LINKS MENTIONED:The Orgasm Course Psychology Today article on sexual frequency and happinessFocus on the Family State of Marriage in America surveyThe Whole Story puberty course for kids (coupon code: PODCAST)Our reel about the 24 hour ruleSupport the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My marriage has been sexless for five years—literally, no sex at all. I tried everything to make my wife see how important sex is, but she refused to even talk about it. We're young—in our early 40s! It's strained our marriage beyond repair; so, I asked her for a divorce. Instantly, everything changed. She initiated sex the night I told her, and we've had sex twice a day since. It's good, enthusiastic sex and she appears to be up for anything. I don't understand what this means and am too scared to ask. The million-dollar question is: will this last? Are our problems finally solved?2) I've been with my partner for five years and it's the best sex I've had with anyone. But now, it feels repetitive and boring. I'm keen to push boundaries, like I did with my previous boyfriend, but he's not willing to step outside his comfort zone. I suggested we find a partner for each other and watch, or go to sex club and just watch others. He says it's not in his character to do those things. He's not even interested in watching porn—I watch it by myself. What now? 3) My wife can only orgasm while lying on her stomach with her legs closed and using a vibrator. We've talked about it and tried many other techniques, but this seems to be the only way that works for her. Should I continue to encourage her to experiment and try new techniques? How can we avoid things becoming boring for both of us, especially me?

We shared our real stories and talked about the challenges like brain fog, weight changes, and sexual adjustments, and my dry eyes that nearly drove me crazy!

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) My husband has recently discovered Viagra and now takes it every time we have sex. Rather than save our sex life, it's destroyed it. His penis is now too hard, he takes ages to orgasm, and his focus is almost exclusively on intercourse. Before Viagra, we had lots of foreplay and oral sex. I've told him I don't like it, but he still takes it.2) Should men also do pelvic floor exercises? Do they enhance sex for us as well as for women? If so, how do we do them? I gather there are quite a range of muscles down there which do subtly different things.3) I'm a man in my late fifties and while I've had various friendships with women, none have resulted in anything romantic or sexual. What do I say if I did meet someone and the subject of past relationships were to come up? The lack of experience with sex and love is embarrassing. Also, what if I never meet someone? This greatly concerns me. To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Ever feel like you're doing everything for everyone and still falling short? That's the mental load, and it might be silently sabotaging your business, your relationships, and your sanity. Today's guest is Dr. Morgan Cutlip: a psychologist, relationship expert, and author on a mission to help women feel whole, light, and deeply connected in all their relationships. With a PhD in psychology and a knack for translating research into real-life solutions, she's helped hundreds of thousands of people navigate the complexities of love, family, and partnership.  Her books Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself and her upcoming title A Better Share tackle the emotional and mental responsibilities women disproportionately carry, especially when it comes to marriage, motherhood, and yes, running a business. If you've ever wondered why you're burnt out even when your partner or team is “helping,” or if you've struggled to balance being a boss and being present at home, this conversation is for you. We're diving into how the mental load affects your business, your boundaries, and your personal life, and what you can do to take some of that weight off. Want to go deeper?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm a 26-year-old straight guy and I'm having no luck with women. I'm curious to know what you think of AI girlfriends. I'm tempted to try one until I meet someone in real life that I really like. Is it a good way to practice relationship skills? Is there anything I should know before I sign up?2) I've met someone and we have AMAZING sexual chemistry. But when we're not having sex, conversation is difficult, and I ask all the questions. We have mutual friends and things in common, so it should be easy. I told him I feel nervous around him, and he says he feels the same. We haven't been on a date yet, but he's planning one and I'm scared it will be awkward. We're both usually loud, chatty people so it's a bit of a shock that we can't be like that out of bed.3) Can you talk about the different types of relationship models there are, including open relationships?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I followed your advice and asked my partner for something I'd like him to do in bed. He did it, and all was good. But now he doesn't do it anymore and I'm tired of asking nicely and dropping hints. What now?2) You've talked about ‘hot-wifing,' but what about ‘hot husbanding'? Do women get turned on watching their husbands with another woman in the same way men get off on watching their wives with another man? I suppose it's every man's fantasy for their wife to want that in a way. Cheating with permission! I'm curious if it's a thing.3) My wife and I are in our mid 60s, still in love, and having sex. But intercourse is increasingly painful for her. She's seen a very sympathetic female GP and tried HRT and other things, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions on what might be the issue and how to continue having sex? Toys don't do it for her, and she's gone off giving and receiving oral sex.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I've listened to enough of your podcasts to know that women don't often orgasm through intercourse alone. But, is there anything a man can do to make that more possible, apart from holding a vibrator on her clitoris while he is inside her? My penis is starting to get a complex!2) I've recently lost a lot of weight through the weight loss jab. I'm thrilled with the results—except for the effect on my sex life. My husband and I stopped having sex years ago because I felt too fat. I don't think he found me sexually attractive at that weight, anyway. He's thrilled that I'm back to the same weight I was when we met and clearly expects us to resume having sex. The thing is, I don't want to. I never did enjoy sex much, but I have zero interest now. Not sure if that's a side effect of the drug? I look sexier, but don't feel it. What do I do?3) How safe are glass dildos? I'm tempted to buy one but worry they'll break inside me. Are they okay for anal play (assuming they have a flared base)? I'm a man and we are not famous for being gentle, especially when we are playing solo.To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

If you're a woman who's never had an orgasm, struggles to orgasm consistently, or wonders if what you've experienced really counts—this episode is for you. I want you to know this: you are not broken, and there is absolutely hope. In this episode, I share seven key truths about female orgasm, why it matters, and how you can move forward—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We'll talk about: Why orgasm is a skill you can learn (you're not defective!) The importance of creating the right environment How psychological, relational, or spiritual blocks might be getting in the way Why self-exploration and vibrators are powerful, shame-free tools What supportive husbands can do to truly help (and what not to do) I've worked with many women who felt hopeless and stuck, and I've seen time and time again that healing, pleasure, and confidence are possible. You don't have to figure this out on your own. You have permission to want this. You have permission to grow. And you are so worth the effort.  

Episode 290 of the PBSE Podcast explores a powerful question submitted by a betrayed partner whose addict husband is in active recovery but refuses to discuss his past. The discussion centers on what real intimacy requires—emotional nakedness, vulnerability, and the willingness to be known. While many addicts hold back due to fear, shame, or cultural conditioning, we unpack how these barriers undermine authentic connection in relationships. Intimacy is described as a process of “emotional disrobing,” where both partners share parts of themselves in increasing depth to build emotional closeness.We argue that the past is never truly in the past—it shapes our present behaviors, beliefs, and relationships. Refusing to share one's past doesn't make it irrelevant; it only creates confusion and distance. For a partner to heal and understand the addict's behaviors, context is essential. Without that, partners are left guessing and often interpret behavior as hatred or rejection rather than unhealed trauma. Disclosure doesn't excuse past harms, but it provides meaning and supports empathy, healing, and deeper trust.Ultimately, a couple can technically survive without full transparency, but they cannot thrive. Choosing to withhold emotional truths places a glass ceiling on the relationship's potential. Vulnerability is scary, but it's the only path to real, lasting intimacy. Through formal disclosure processes, safe conversations, and daily acts of honesty, couples can build something far deeper than simple sobriety—a relationship rooted in truth, empathy, and enduring connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: Can I Have a Healthy Relationship with my Addict Partner without him Sharing His Past?  Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Send us a textIs sex is a human need within marriage? Let's address the tension between those who see "need" language as potentially coercive and those who feel legitimate sexual desires shouldn't be shamed. Psychological research does classify sex as a human need, but the real issue is how couples can co-create a reality for a mutually satisfying sexual relationship. Rather than pressuring reluctant partners, couples should focus on building marriages where both people genuinely want and enjoy sexual intimacy.BECOME ONE OF OUR MONTHLY DONORS:We're aiming for 50 new monthly donors, for even as little as $10 a month!

In this bonus episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily breaks down the top 10 red flags in bed that go beyond bad technique—these are the behaviors that can seriously impact your safety, intimacy, and sexual satisfaction. From partners who never ask what you like to those who skip foreplay entirely, we explore the warning signs that indicate deeper issues around sexual awareness, communication, and respect. We dive into why these red flags matter, including partners who don't take feedback, make orgasm the only goal, ignore consent, lead with ego, and vanish emotionally after sex. Dr. Emily also addresses those who shame your fantasies, avoid sexual health conversations, and expect mind-reading instead of open communication. This isn't about shaming anyone—it's about recognizing patterns early so you can advocate for your needs and build healthier, more connected sexual experiences. Whether you're dating, in a relationship, or just want to know what to watch out for, this episode gives you the tools to identify red flags and prioritize partners who truly care about mutual pleasure and respect.

Marg reveals that the Greek word "kephale" (head) doesn't typically mean "leader" or "authority" in ancient literature, and that no verse actually commands men to lead their wives. Instead,  head-body metaphors are used in Scripture to describe unity and mutual care and as a picture of growing into the likeness of Christ for ALL Christians.  Together, Marg and I talk about the Biblical evidence of Paul's support for women in ministry roles. We also take a moment to discuss the best Bible versions for more accurate translation in key passages about submission and hierarchy. TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workFor tax deductible donations in the U.S., support Good Fruit Faith Initiative through the Bosko FoundationAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!THINGS MENTIONEDMarg's websiteMarg's patreonMarg's blog post on the best Bible versionEverything on 1 Corinthians 11Everything on Ephesians 5Support the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm 28 and been with my partner for four years. He's always been the one to initiate sex and I thought he liked it that way. But, now he's told me he's sick of it and wants me to take the lead—not just with initiating, but during sex as well. I have no idea how to do this. Can you help?2) I had a bit of a thing with my neighbor. We're both single, but have teenage children and didn't want them to know anything was going on. Two months in, we got busted by my daughter and now it's in the open. The kids are delighted—but I'm not interested anymore. I liked the excitement of sneaking around and having hot sex. I never did want a relationship, but now feel like it's expected. What do I do?3) I grew up with parents who had an open relationship and were very open about sex. I'm now 24 and want to settle down with my girlfriend, but she doesn't trust me because of my parents' attitude toward sex. They've made it plain they think I'm too young to marry and should be having fun. How do I convince her I'm not like them and want to live a normal, stable married life?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Send us a textAfter a recent social media AMA, we noticed a ton of you wanted us to tackle dating - red flags, green flags, how to choose a great partner. Rebecca and I have been avoiding this topic since we both married young and have limited adult dating experience, but we DO have evidence-based research to share. We're addressing why we need to stop telling singles "God is just teaching you patience" (it's a numbers game!), the "Burn the Haystack Method" for online dating, why some might need to relocate for better options, and the hard truths about red flags versus settling. Fair warning: we're going to make some people uncomfortable, but if you want research-backed advice over platitudes, this episode's for you.TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workFor tax deductible donations in the U.S., support Good Fruit Faith Initiative through the Bosko FoundationAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!THINGS MENTIONEDDr Jennie Young & The Burned Haystack MethodOur podcast on why Evangelical Women aren't marrying evangelical menJoin my Substack to keep up with us while the blog is on hiatus for June and JulySupport the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

Send us a text“Soul ties” refers to the belief that when you have sex with someone, you are now joined in the spiritual realm, and that “tie” impedes your ability to ever experience freedom if you marry someone else. Often people claim you have to go through a specific prayer to break the tie, or an exorcism. But is this idea biblical? And does it help or hurt? Today Joanna Sawatsky shares our results of believing in soul ties, and we discuss different ways to talk about heartache and trauma. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT:Our puberty course The Whole StoryJoin my Substack!TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workFor tax deductible donations in the U.S., support Good Fruit Faith Initiative through the Bosko FoundationAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!THINGS MENTIONEDOur book She Deserves Better My series on Soul TiesJohn Eldredge's Podcast series on Soul TiesLisa Bevere Reel with misinformationThe domestic violence website with steps from breaking trauma bondsJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

Do you ever feel the weight of an invisible to-do list burdening your relationship? In this illuminating episode, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons welcome Dr. Morgan Cutlip, psychologist and author of "A Better How: Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex." Dr. Cutlip breaks down how the mental load—that seemingly endless list of tasks, responsibilities, and emotional calculations we carry—affects intimacy and connection in marriage.Dr. Cutlip explains the three domains of tasks that make up the mental load (physical, mental, and emotional labor) and why women typically carry a disproportionate share in home and family life. She offers practical insights on how couples can better understand each other's needs when it comes to sex and connection, including the differences between spontaneous and responsive desire. The conversation reveals how scheduling intimacy, creating margin for emotional connection, and practicing appreciation can transform a relationship from resentment to joy.Whether you're struggling with a relational rut or simply want to deepen your connection, this episode provides actionable steps for fighting for your marriage by tackling the mental load together. As Rebekah and Gabe honestly share from their own journey, you'll be encouraged that healing and growth are possible when we understand each other more deeply.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fJoin the Marriage May Challenge:https://www.rebekahlyons.com/marriagemayRegister for the Marriage & Parenting Retreat:November 20-21, 2025 at https://www.rebekahlyons.com/retreatParticipate in the THINQ resource, Let's Talk Relationships: https://events.thinqmedia.com/relationships
