What happens when theology doesn’t stay in the pulpit—but moves into the living room? In this episode, we follow complementarian doctrine from the page to the home, where “servant leadership” often translates into control, and submission becomes a spiritual mandate for silence. We examine how marriage books, sermons, and counseling models have used Scripture to justify hierarchy—and sometimes even excuse abuse. We’ll also unpack what Paul really meant in Ephesians 5, and how the gospel reframes power, not reinforces it. Because Christlike love doesn’t demand authority. It lays it down.
