Redefining Submission

The word submit makes many people uncomfortable. With good reason, as it’s often associated with control, patriarchy, and power.But what does the Bible actually mean by submit?As we explore passages like Ephesians 5 and others, we’ll unpack the surprising idea that biblical submission isn’t about submitting to power, but about ordering ourselves under love. When understood within the framework of Christ’s example, the concept of submission becomes less about domination and more about the radical, upside-down order of the kingdom of God.
