A year ago we sat down to talk about our thoughts on submission. As married Christian women, submission is a topic we encounter daily. So here we are a year later and we still have lots of thoughts (obviously) on this subject!

The world says that submission is bad, which isn't shocking when we look at how it is taught/perceived. We see women standing up bravely for justice and the gospel in scripture but then we are told that submission is just quietly accepting everything that everyone tells us. That is not submission, in fact that is a willful misunderstanding of Christian submission.

Submission in Christian marriage is something wives gladly give. And when it is not gladly given, it's usually because God is using it to prune and sharpen us.

Godly, submissive wives are still called to speak God's truth, to share the gospel, to stand firm on their beliefs, to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Submission is a joy and privilege that we freely give. It is not a hinderance to our mission; but a safeguard.

As always, thanks for listening. We greatly appreciate it!
