My Southern Godmother 25. Yikes! Do I REALLY Need to Submit to My Husband?
Honestly, I hate the word submission. So I asked Debbie about it.
In this week’s episode of My Southern Godmother, Debbie and I get into it. What does biblical submission actually look like in a healthy marriage? How does mutual respect play into it? And - most important of all - what does the Bible say about our submission to Christ?
In this episode:
- The story of how Debbie didn’t budge - and what God revealed through it
- Why submission doesn’t mean control or silence
- What mutual submission in a Christian marriage looks like
- ....And what it doesn't
- The one question Debbie’s friend asked her husband that I’ll never forget
- How growing up shaped the way I think about respect (and what I want to pass on to my kids)
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Are you submitting to your spouse - and more importantly, are you submitting to Christ?
Please note: There are nuances around this topic and we understand people may be coming from various backgrounds and situations. Take care while listening.
