We welcome Sheila Gregoire to interact on the impact of purity culture, 
and those ‘dangerous female emotions’, as in circumstances such as 
Anna's and so many other girls and young women. Do boys have the ability to stop lust? Christan-like behavior and Christ-loving character. Have we got it backward? Sheila’s expertise on these matters is significant.

 

Sheila's resources are found on her website, Sheila Wray Gregoire.com and  Bare Marriage.com for her blog and podcast. 

If you want to know more about the dynamics of domestic abuse, I suggest you go to Called to Peace.org or Darby Strickland's book, Is It Abuse? is excellent for both victims and church leaders to identify the patterns of abuse. 

And in addition, I recommend Dr. Jeremy Pierre and Dr. Greg Wilson's book When Home Hurts and that's particularly helpful for church leaders.
