About this listen
What does it really mean for wives to “submit” to their husbands in Ephesians 5?
In this episode, we unpack one of the most controversial passages in the Bible about marriage: “Wives, submit to your husbands.”
Is submission blind obedience?
Does it mean tolerating sin or abuse?
Is it outdated or oppressive?
Or is it something deeper, and actually freeing?
We explore:
- What biblical submission is not
- Why this passage must be read alongside the call for husbands to love like Christ
- What submission looks like on an ordinary Tuesday
- How respect, encouragement, and trust play out practically
- Why submission is ultimately an act of worship to Christ
If you’ve wrestled with this passage (or avoided it altogether) this conversation will help you think biblically, clearly, and courageously about your role in marriage.
📖 Scripture referenced: Ephesians 5:22–33, 1 Peter 3, Genesis 2
