“The people who criticize this podcast aren’t the ones who need it. For those of us that have suffered from destructive religious beliefs and confusing messages about sex and marriage, this podcast is a lifeline! Thank you for research based and untwisted Biblical truth. It has brought so much...”Read full review »

“They are very good reasons why women are commonly leaving the church. We’re tired of being overlooked, silenced, told we can’t, ignored overworked and discarded. We’re also tired of being led to. This podcast strongly calls people to do better with explanations, with the research, and with...”Read full review »

“I have enjoyed your podcast for awhile, but listening to episode 250, I am so blown away by Shiela and Keith’s passion for uplifting women, helping them see their value as image-bearers, and giving them a voice to stand up to toxic theology in the church regarding men dominating women. Thank you...”Read full review »

“I am marry to a loving and kind man. We both have been sitting under the teaching that a Godly marriage is the one where the man leads. This was hard for both of us as I am gifted in leadership and this is not his strength. I felt like walking out my leadership gift was giving into my sinful...”Read full review »

“I’ve had so many aha moments listening to Bare Marriage. If only something like this was available when I was in my previous marriage. The only voices I heard were on FOF, and all the books on how to be a better wife.
Bare Marriage is a breath of fresh air regarding sex and marriage.”

“There’s good information here but it’s laced with liberal feminism. The host appears to have a good grasp with materials, but her daughter is a study for what colleges and universities are turning out today. No independent thought and just buy into the far left narrative.”

“Shiela rightly attacks lies in the church, like Emerson Eggerich when he basically says to wives “do everything for your man, and you’ll get what you want.” Good for her. The problem is her response is “Husbands do everything for your wives and you’ll get what you want.” Can you see the error. If...”Read full review »
