The Daughter of Delight Podcast

We know the words we speak should point to the very heart of Jesus, don't we? Yet, more often than we would like to admit, we let our words get the best of us. In this powerful conversation with my friend Sarah Molitor, we discuss God's desire for the words we speak everyday--to ourselves, our spouses, our children, our friends, strangers, everyone--and the weight they carry. This, my friend, is a conversation you do NOT want to miss!  Connect with Sarah (@modernfarmhousefamily) on Instagram Purchase Sarah's new book, Well Said*

Biblical submission is an incredibly important topic for anyone who is married or desires marriage. Why? Because it's a biblical command for wives to submit to their husbands. And for some reason, verses like Ephesians 5:22 and Colossians 3:18 that instruct wives to submit to their husbands get a ton of backlash and just have an all around bad rep. It shouldn't be this way, and the point of today's episode is to explain why that is...why the act of submission is actually a beautiful and right thing, and why it should bring us joy and delight!
