This post is part three of a three-part blog series expanding on themes from our current sermon series on relationships. Each post includes a video interview conducted by our Women’s Ministry Director, Laura Dougherty with our Pastor, Chris Peters.
These two videos zoom in on Ephesians 5 and the roles of husbands and wives. Pastor Chris speaks with humility and care as he addresses questions around submission, respect, and sacrificial love in marriage.
What if submission feels confusing, frustrating, or even painful? Pastor Chris acknowledges the difficulty and clarifies what this call does—and doesn’t—mean. He also offers encouragement for women navigating this with wisdom and grace.
How do men grow in spiritual leadership without falling into pride or passivity? Pastor Chris offers practical encouragement and emphasizes the importance of community and intentionality for husbands.
