"Headship without love is tyranny. Submission without love is slavery. True biblical leadership is holy, weighty, and marked by empathy and honor."

In this raw and powerful conversation, Lauren and Justin dive deep into God's divine design for marriage, and why His order still works today.

They open up about the cultural confusion around submission, leadership, and gender roles, sharing real-life stories from their own marriage, parenting, and walk with God. From the backseat-driving analogy that exposes control dynamics to scripture-based truth from Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2, this episode reveals what happens when both husband and wife surrender to biblical order and allow Christ to lead their home.

You'll hear:

• Why headship doesn't mean domination, and submission doesn't mean weakness

• How modern culture and New Age feminism distort God's design for the family

• What true masculine leadership and feminine support look like in practice

• How spiritual order brings peace, stability, and revival to marriage

• A candid reflection on men's struggles with passivity and women's struggles with control

This is an episode meant to listen to together with your spouse. Let it spark a conversation about how to invite God back into the center of your home.
