Utah's Hope

Yeah, the Bible says God loves you. But maybe you wonder, Does God love me—here, in the plot twist I definitely didn't order? Jon and Quina Aragon, authors of Love Has a Story, get candid about suffering, doubt, old wounds, and learning to trust God’s love when life makes a credible argument otherwise. When you're tired of easy answers to hard questions, listen in here.

We're continuing our discussion of the “manosphere,” reviewing how it distorts headship and submission and focusing on three additional lies: that emotional vulnerability is weakness, that women are biologically untrustworthy, and that a wife’s body belongs to her husband. Greg and Erin contrast these ideologies with scriptures calling husbands to sacrificially love, cherish, nourish, honor, and create safety so a wife can flourish.
