Authority and submission often feel like problems to solve or power struggles to survive. In this episode, Krisan Marotta explores Colossians 3:18–4:1 and shows how Paul reframes those relationships through the gospel. Rather than asking how to protect ourselves or get our way, Paul calls us to live as people who belong to Christ, acting in every role with humility, responsibility, and trust in God.

In this week’s episode, we explore:

• What it means to do everything “in the name of the Lord Jesus”
• How the gospel reshapes relationships involving authority and submission
• Paul’s teaching for wives and husbands, and how responsibility differs from worth
• What children and parents are called to in a relationship shaped by love and wisdom
• How Paul’s words to slaves and masters speak into the realities of work and leadership today
• Why every human role is ultimately accountable to the Lord Christ

After listening, you’ll have a clearer framework for thinking about authority, submission, work, and responsibility in light of the gospel.
