It’s been over a year since recording this episode, and we’re so thankful to finally release it for our audience. We’re discussing the topic of submission and how all are called to walk this out in humility. Whether you’re a wife, daughter, employee, volunteer, or under any other governing authority, you are called and equipped to humbly submit to those God has placed above you. Christ, our ultimate example, demonstrated this humble submission as He subjected Himself to His Heavenly Father, as well as His earthy parents. He now calls us all to humble ourselves, submitting to one another as we submit to the Lord.
