In today’s episode we continue our topic of Ephesians 5 but turn our attention towards the men’s role: love and sacrifice. What kind of love is Paul talking about? How do we love our wives? What can a wife do if her husband is not walking in love in their marriage? This part of scripture is just as important as its counterpart about wives and we’re excited to talk about it!

We are tackling a popular passage on marriage in the Bible in this episode: Ephesians 5. When you hear the word “submission” what comes to mind? Should wives be submissive to their husbands in all things? Are there exceptions? Does that mean the husband controls his wife? What does submission even actually mean? Join us for part 1 of this two part series as we dive in Ephesians 5. Next week will be on the man’s role!

Last week Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for sexual charges against minors. Her story is one of many that gives us a glimpse in the sex trafficking industry that is overtaking our entire world. Considering the 846% increase in reported child sex trafficking cases recently, this is a topic you are going to want to be aware of. How do you combat this as a family and as a Christian?
