What Would You Say?: Is Gender Transition a Social Contagion?

What does real faith look like in your family? Listen to Pastor Skip as he walks through Jacob’s journey and shows you how trusting God can change your legacy.

“Obedience” in marriage is a loaded word—what does it really mean? Are women expected to submit like servants? Is Christian marriage inherently unequal? Or is there something deeper, more beautiful, and profoundly mutual at play?

Today I’m joined by Mary Stanford, who has spent her career unpacking this very paradox. How can a woman “submit” as described in Ephesians 5 and still be a full, free, and equal partner in marriage?

Mary dives into the God-given differences between men and women—how our bodies and dispositions reflect distinct, complementary gifts—and how this complementarity can lead to deep unity and even fruitfulness, both literally and spiritually.

This topic isn’t without controversy. The line between holy submission and enabling harmful dynamics is razor thin. Join the conversation in the comments and help us wrestle with one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture.

Today on Bold Steps … we’re learning how to let go of the past as we take bold steps forward. Nearly 80% of people experience back pain of some kind … and doctors say that most of our aches and pains are caused by wearing old shoes! But what do old shoes have to do with our Bible message today?  That’s what Pastor Mark Jobe will explain in our message titled, Putting on the New You, from our study in the book of Ephesians, chapter 4 … titled, When You Believe, Everything Changes.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe shows you how to live a changed life as we’re continuing our study from the book of Ephesians. And it’s all about change. There are a lot of people who have an idea of the things they’d change about themselves … or their spouses … if they could. God is in the business of changing people. He knows what your potential is … and what you can be. He also knows what your character could … and should look like because He created you and had a picture in mind of what He was creating you to be and do ... but He needs your cooperation.
