Subject: A Fresh Perspective on Biblical Submission in Marriage
Hello,
We’re thrilled to continue our monthly Relationship Series with a brand-new podcast exploring the topic of submission in marriage—a concept that can feel both misunderstood and challenging. This episode unpacks what it truly means for wives to submit to their husbands in love and respect, and for husbands to honor and submit to Christ as the head of their home. Rooted in passages like Ephesians 5:22-33, we dive into the beauty of mutual submission and God’s design for a flourishing partnership.
This isn’t about outdated stereotypes or rigid roles; it’s about reflecting Christ’s love in every aspect of our marriages. Together, let’s discover how understanding biblical submission can strengthen our relationships and lead to deeper unity with God and each other.
We can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Listen now, and let us know what stood out to you.
Blessings,
