Deep dives
The Dynamics of Control and Passivity in Relationships
Controlling and passive dynamics often define troubled relationships, as exemplified in the biblical story of Ahab and Jezebel. Jezebel represents a controlling spirit, exerting dominance over Ahab, who exhibits passivity and avoidance of responsibility. This toxic combination leads to disastrous outcomes, not only within their marriage but also in their leadership and the wider community of Israel. Recognizing these dynamics is crucial, as the problem often doesn’t unfold dramatically, but rather gradually manifests through warning signs that are easily overlooked.
