Join Dr. Dodd as he looks at being defiant and oppositional, versus obedient… from both a scriptural and psychological perspective. He points out that being oppositional is “often demonstrated by getting easily annoyed, demands its own way, has feelings of resentment or anger, frequent arguments with others, deliberately annoying others, blames others for their own mistakes, and is spiteful.” He states that, “obedience is a form of social influence that involves performing an action under the orders of an authority figure.”   

Finally, Dr. Dodd discusses the dilemma of being defiant with God or submitting (being obedient) to His authority over our lives.
