Join us for a conversation on EFS with Kyle Claunch, Associate Professor of Christian Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Detailed Analytical Outline: "Everything You Need to Know About EFS and The Trinity | Kyle Claunch | #100" This outline structures the podcast episode chronologically by timestamp, providing a summary of content, key theological arguments, analytical insights (e.g., strengths of positions, biblical/theological connections, and implications for Trinitarian doctrine), and notable quotes. The discussion centers on Eternal Functional Submission (EFS, also termed Eternal Submission of the Son [ESS] or Eternal Relations of Authority and Submission [ERAS]), its biblical basis, critiques, and broader Trinitarian implications. Host Sean Demars interviews Kyle Claunch, a theologian offering a non-EFS perspective rooted in classical Trinitarianism (e.g., Augustine, Athanasius). The tone is conversational, humble, and worship-oriented, emphasizing the doctrine's gravity (per Augustine: "Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous"). Introduction and Setup (00:10–01:48) Content Summary: Episode opens with music and host introduction. Sean Demars welcomes first-time guest Kyle Claunch (noting a prior unreleased recording). Light banter references mutual acquaintance Jim Hamilton (a repeat guest) and a breakfast discussion on Song of Solomon. Transition to topic: the Trinity, with humorous acknowledgment of its complexity. Key Points: Shoutout to Hamilton as the "three-timer" on the show; playful goal of featuring Kenwood elders repeatedly. Tease of future episodes on Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Psalms. Analytical Insights: Establishes relational warmth and insider Reformed/Baptist context (e.g., Kenwood Baptist Church ties). Frames Trinity discussion as high-stakes yet accessible, aligning with podcast's "Room for Nuance" ethos—nuanced, non-polemical engagement. Implications: Builds trust for dense theology, reminding listeners of communal discipleship. Notable Quote: "Nothing better to talk about... Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous, Augustine says about the doctrine of the trinity." (01:33) Opening Prayer (01:48–02:29) Content Summary: Claunch prays for accurate representation of God, protection from error, and edification of listeners (believers to worship, unbelievers to Christ). Key Points: Gratitude for knowing God as Father through Son by Spirit; plea for words and meditations to be acceptable (Psalm 19:14 echo). Analytical Insights: Models Trinitarian piety—prayer invokes all persons, underscoring episode's theme of relational unity over hierarchical submission. Strengthens devotional framing, countering potential abstraction in doctrine. Notable Quote: "May the saints who hear this be drawn to worship. May those that don't know you be drawn to want to know you through your son Jesus." (02:07–02:29) Interview Origin and Personal Context (02:29–04:18) Content Summary: Demars recounts how Hamilton recommended Claunch as a counterpoint to Owen Strawn's EFS views (from a prior episode on theological retrieval). Demars shares his wavering stance on EFS (initial acceptance, rejection, ambivalence—like amillennialism) and seeks Claunch's help to "land" biblically. Key Points: EFS as a debated topic in evangelical circles; Claunch's approach ties to retrieval. Demars' vulnerability: Desire for settled conviction on God's self-revelation. Analytical Insights: Highlights EFS debate's live-wire status in Reformed theology (post-2016 surge via Ware, Grudem). Demars' "help me land" plea humanizes the host, inviting listeners into personal theological pilgrimage. Implication: Doctrine as transformative, not merely academic—echoes Augustine's "discovery more advantageous" (later referenced). Notable Quote: "Part of this is really just being like dear brother Kyle help me like land where I need to land on this." (03:53) Defining EFS/ESS/ERAS (04:18–07:01) Content Summary: Claunch defines terms: EFS (eternal functional submission of Son/Spirit to Father per divine nature); ESS (eternal submission of Son); ERAS (eternal relations of authority/submission, per Ware). Contrasts with incarnational obedience (uncontroversial for creatures). Key Points: Eternal (contra-temporal, constitutive of God's life); not limited to human nature. Biblical focus on Son, but extends to Spirit; relations as "godness of God" (Father-Son-Spirit distinctions). Analytical Insights: Clarifies nomenclature's evolution (avoiding "subordinationism" heresy). Strength: Steel-mans EFS as biblically motivated, not cultural. Weakness: Risks blurring persons' equality if submission is essential. Connects to classical taxonomy (one essence, three persons via relations). Notable Quote: "This relation of authority and submission then is internal to the very life of God and as such is constitutive of what it means for God to be God." (06:36) Biblical Texts for EFS: Steel-Manning Arguments (07:01–14:34) Content Summary: Claunch lists key texts EFS advocates use, steel-manning sympathetically. John 6:38 (07:35): Son came "not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me"—roots in pre-incarnate motive. Sending Language (09:04): Father sends Son (never reverse); implies authority-obedience. Father-Son Names (09:43): Eternal sonship entails biblical patriarchal authority. 1 Cor 11:3 (10:04): "God [Father] is the head of Christ"—parallels man-woman headship (authority symbol). 1 Cor 15:24–28 (13:13): Future subjection of Son to Father ("eternity future" implies past). Key Points: EFS holders (e.g., Ware, Grudem—Claunch's friends/mentor) prioritize Scripture; not anti-Trinitarian. Analytical Insights: Effective charity—affirms motives (biblicism) while previewing critiques. Texts highlight economic Trinity (missions reveal immanent relations). Implication: If valid, EFS grounds complementarity in creation (e.g., gender roles via 1 Cor 11). But risks Arianism echoes if submission essentializes inequality. Notable Quote: "They believe this because they are convinced that this is what the Bible teaches... It's a genuine desire to believe what the Bible says." (14:15) Critiquing EFS Texts: Governing Principles (14:52–19:02) Content Summary: Claunch introduces "form of God/form of servant" rule (Augustine, Phil 2:6–8) and unity of God (one essence, attributes, acts). Applies to texts, emphasizing incarnation. John 6:38 (15:11): Incarnational (Son assumes human will to obey as Last Adam); "not my own will" implies distinct (human-divine) wills, not eternal submission. Compares to Gethsemane (Lk 22:42), Phil 2 (obedience as "became," not eternal), Heb 5:8 (learns obedience via suffering). Key Points: Obedience creaturely (Adam failed, Christ succeeds); EFS demands discrete divine wills, contradicting one will/power (inseparable operations). Analytical Insights: Augustinian rule shines—resolves tensions without modalism/Arianism. Strength: Harmonizes canon (analogy of Scripture). Implication: Protects active obedience's soteriological role (imputed righteousness). Weakness in EFS: Overlooks hypostatic union's permanence. Notable Quote: "Obedience is something he became, not something he was." (35:15) Inseparable Operations and Unity (19:02–28:18) Content Summary: One God = one almighty/omniscient/will (Athanasian Creed); external acts (ad extra) undivided (e.g., creation, resurrection appropriated to persons but shared). EFS's "distinct enactment" incoherent—submission requires discrete wills, implying polytheism. Submission entails disagreement possibility, undermining unity. Key Points: Appropriation (e.g., Father elects, but all persons do); one will upstream from texts. Analytical Insights: Core classical rebuttal—echoes Cappadocians vs. Arius (one ousia, three hypostases). Strength: Biblical (e.g., Jn 1 creation triad). Implication: Safeguards monotheism; critiques social Trinitarianism/EFS as quasi-polytheistic. Ties to procession (relations without hierarchy). Notable Quote: "If God's knowledge and mind understanding will is all one then the very idea... that you could have one divine person... have authority and the other... not have the same authority... Seems to be a category mistake." (24:41–25:14) Further Critiques: Sending, Headship, Future Submission (28:18–50:07) Content Summary: Sending (42:30): Not command (Aquinas/Augustine); missions reveal processions (eternal generation), not authority (analogical, e.g., adult "sending" without hierarchy). 1 Cor 11:3 (46:34): Incarnational (Christ as mediator); underdetermined text, informed by whole Scripture. 1 Cor 15 (48:10): Post-resurrection = ongoing hypostatic union (God-man forever submits as creature). Spirit's "Obedience" (49:26): No biblical texts; EFS extension illogical (Spirit unincarnate). Jn 16:13 ("not... on his own authority") mistranslates—Greek "from himself" denotes procession, not submission (parallels Jn 5:19–26 on Son's generation). Key Points: Obedience emphasis on Son's humanity for redemption; Spirit's mission unified (takes Father's/Son's). Analytical Insights: Devastating on Spirit—exposes EFS asymmetry. Strength: Exegetical precision (Greek apo heautou). Implication: EFS risks divinizing hierarchy over equality; retrieval favors Nicene grammar. Notable Quote: "There's not one single biblical text that uses the language of authority, submission, obedience in relation to the spirit." (50:07) Processions, Personhood, and Retrieval Tease (50:07–1:10:04) Content Summary: Persons = rational subsistences (Boethius); distinction via relations/processions (Father unbegotten, Son generated, Spirit spirated—not three wills/agents). Demars probes: Processions define persons (Son from Father, Spirit from both?). Claunch: Analogical, not creaturely autonomy. Teases retrieval discussion for future episode. Key Points: Creator-creature distinction; via eminentia/negativa for terms like "person." God unlike us—worship response to mystery. Analytical Insights: Clarifies hypostases vs. prosopa; counters social Trinitarianism. Strength: Humility amid density ("take your sandals off"). Implication: EFS confuses economic/immanent Trinity; retrieval recovers Nicene subtlety vs. modern individualism. Notable Quote: "The distinction is in the relation only... The ground of personhood is the divine nature." (1:03:07–1:03:32) Eschatological Reflection and Heaven (1:10:04–1:13:39) Content Summary: Demars: Perpetual learning in heaven? Claunch: Infinite expansion (Edwards' analogy—expanding vessel in God's love); Augustine: Laborious but advantageous pursuit. Key Points: Glorified knowledge joyful, finite yet ever-growing; press on (Hos 4:6). Analytical Insights: Pastoral pivot—doctrine doxological, not despairing. Ties to episode's awe: Trinity as eternal discovery. Notable Quote: "Nowhere else is a mistake more dangerous or the task more laborious or the discovery more advantageous." (1:13:11) Rapid-Fire Q&A (1:13:55–1:20:14) Content Summary: Fun segment: Favorites (24, Spurgeon/Piper sermons, Tolkien, It's a Wonderful Life, mountains, wine, licorice hate, fly, morning person, etc.). Ends with straw holes trick (one). Key Points: Reveals Claunch's tastes (e.g., Owen's works as "systematic theology," "Immortal, Invisible" hymn for funeral—mortality vs. God's eternity). Analytical Insights: Humanizes expert; hymn choice reinforces theme (Psalm 90 echo). Lightens load post-depth. Closing Prayer (1:20:14–1:21:04) Content Summary: Demars thanks God for Claunch's clarity; prays for his influence in church/academy. Key Points: Blessing for edification, glory. Analytical Insights: Bookends with prayer—Trinitarian focus implicit. Overall Analytical Themes: Claunch's non-EFS view upholds Nicene equality via processions/operations, critiquing EFS as well-intentioned but incoherent (risks subordinationism). Episode excels in balance: exegetical rigor, historical retrieval (Augustine/Aquinas/Owen), pastoral warmth. Implications: Bolsters complementarianism without Trinitarian cost; urges humility in mystery. Ideal for theology students/pastors navigating debates.

This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.

What if the most intimidating parts of marriage are actually invitations from God to build something stronger, not scarier? And what if submission, sacrifice, and responsibility look far different than what culture assumes? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, the conversation gets honest and unavoidably practical as we dive into the marriage portion of the Toy Stories mega-series. Scott unpacks the beauty and weight of Ephesians 5, why this familiar passage deserves fresh eyes, and how men and women can step into their God designed roles with humility instead of fear. From the responsibility of headship to the strength behind the word "helper," from covenant relationships to the call for purity, this episode gives shape to what biblical marriage is meant to be and why it matters for everyone, married or not. Your challenge: Take an honest look at the posture of your heart this week. Where do you need to humble yourself, submit to Jesus, or take ownership in your home? Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell ⸻ What We Discuss Why familiar Bible passages can be the hardest to teach Headship as responsibility, not dominance, and why it should drive men to their knees The strength and dignity behind the biblical word helper (ezer kenegdo) What submission actually means (and doesn't) in light of Jesus Covenant vs. contract and why culture keeps confusing the two The three paths back to honoring Jesus in relationships Why gathering for worship matters more than we admit, and why men especially should lift holy hands The importance of community when you're trying to grow, heal, or rebuild Friendship as the often overlooked foundation of a lasting marriage ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

Pastor Daniel and Lisa Grothe unpacked Ephesians 5 in a fresh way - reminding us that "headship" isn't hierarchy. It's Jesus-style leadership. The kind that serves first, sacrifices first and lifts others first. In a world consumed with power, Jesus calls us to something different: humility, honor and mutual lifting. Our marriage, friendships, family and community flourishes when we choose the way of Jesus.

Whereas a head is to be present with the body, or it cannot subsist, the inquiry is, How the Lord Christ is so present with his church! And the Scripture hath left no pretense for any hesitation herein; for he is so by his Spirit and his word, by which he communicates all the powers and virtues of a head unto it continually. His promises of this way and manner of his presence unto the church are multiplied; and thereon doth the being, life, use, and continuance of the church depend. Where Christ is not present by his Spirit and word, there is no church; and those who pretend so to be, are the synagogues of Satan.

Responsible fathers demonstrate Christlike headship. Headship is representation, responsibility, and rule.
Join our Genesis workshop here: https://pathofmanliness.notion.site/genesis-workshopModern men are told to be soft, agreeable, and “safe.” But Scripture calls them to something higher — to be head in self-sacrificing love, just as Christ is Head of the Church.When a man lives in obedience to God, he becomes the root of stability for his wife and children. His faith anchors their emotions, his discipline protects their trust, and his leadership guides them toward holiness and peace.In this video, Paul explores what godly masculinity truly offers a woman — protection, provision, and leadership — not as domination, but as service.Without godly men, women are forced to harden themselves to survive. But when men return to their role as protectors, providers, and priests of the household, women can once again flourish in grace and beauty.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: The Rise of Traditional Christianity Among Youth00:34 Christian Anthropology: Understanding Man and Woman00:54 The Role of Men and Women in Christian Marriage02:44 The Concept of Headship and Its Misunderstandings03:38 Stability and Trust in Christian Family Life05:01 The Classical Understanding of Male Leadership07:50 The Biological and Spiritual Roles of Men and Women11:11 The Path to Salvation: Marriage and Monasticism12:33 Conclusion: Embracing the Sacrament of MarriageSubscribe to our channel to stay updated on our latest content.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXPMCOblA-vdnIpE-4BR8PA?sub_confirmation=1Read more about Maniphesto:https://maniphesto.com/aboutFree Tools and Resources: https://maniphesto.com/tools/Join an online men's group with Maniphesto Core: https://maniphesto.com/core-member/Find us on your preferred platform:https://linktr.ee/maniphesto
“Headship without love is tyranny. Submission without love is slavery. True biblical leadership is holy, weighty, and marked by empathy and honor.” In this raw and powerful conversation, Lauren and Justin dive deep into God's divine design for marriage, and why His order still works today. They open up about the cultural confusion around submission, leadership, and gender roles, sharing real-life stories from their own marriage, parenting, and walk with God. From the backseat-driving analogy that exposes control dynamics to scripture-based truth from Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2, this episode reveals what happens when both husband and wife surrender to biblical order and allow Christ to lead their home. You'll hear: Why headship doesn't mean domination, and submission doesn't mean weakness How modern culture and New Age feminism distort God's design for the family What true masculine leadership and feminine support look like in practice How spiritual order brings peace, stability, and revival to marriage A candid reflection on men's struggles with passivity and women's struggles with control This is an episode meant to listen to together with your spouse. Let it spark a conversation about how to invite God back into the center of your home.

In this sermon, we continued our marriage series using the metaphor of a garden to explore the unique design and roles of husbands and wives. Drawing from Ephesians 5:22-24, we examined how men and women are created differently—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and how these differences are not flaws but intentional aspects of God's design. The sermon addressed the cultural push to erase gender distinctions and emphasized that true partnership in marriage comes from embracing our God-given roles, not from competing or conforming to societal trends. We discussed the biblical concepts of headship and submission, clarifying that these are not about superiority or inferiority, but about order, responsibility, and mutual sanctification. The call was for men to lead with Christlike servant leadership and for women to support and challenge their husbands toward godliness, all within the context of grace, humility, and dependence on Jesus.

Guiding Question: What is a husband really called to be—and how does a man step into that role with confidence and clarity? Summary Description: Robert Lewis delivers a deeply practical and inspiring message on biblical manhood and marriage, focusing on Ephesians 5:22–33. Speaking directly to married men—but also with applications for single men and parents—Lewis explains what it means to be the “head” in a marriage. Far from a model of dominance or superiority, biblical headship is a call to Christ-like leadership through love, guidance, and provision. He highlights three essential roles every husband must embrace: being a lover, a standard bearer, and a provider. Each role is unpacked with vivid illustrations, cultural observations, and personal reflections. Lewis also explains the modern confusion around headship and submission and offers a redemptive vision for how those principles create health and strength in marriage. Lewis appeals especially to men to gain direction—not domination—and calls fathers to pass this vision on to their sons. He ends with practical steps for husbands to engage their wives more deeply, starting with discovering their love language. Outline: The Challenge of Modern Headship – Cultural confusion, resistance to submission, and the loss of clear direction. Setting the Context – Marriage as a sacred calling for men; not superiority, but responsibility. Perspective Check: Men need clear direction to thrive. Headship in Scripture is modeled after Christ, not power. Submission is space for responsibility, not oppression. Neglectful husbands push wives into damaging fallback roles. Three Best Practices for Husbands: Lover – Show your heart, connect emotionally, learn your wife's love language. Standard Bearer – Hold up God's Word, protect the home morally and spiritually. Provider – Enable your wife to become all God intended, including financial provision where possible. Why Respect Comes Last – True respect from a wife is earned through a husband's consistent, sacrificial love. Sociological Backing – Contemporary studies support biblical principles for husband roles in happiness and stability. Applications: Fathers teaching sons. Single men embracing these roles as preparation. Married men identifying their weakest area and taking steps to grow. Key Takeaways Biblical headship is about responsibility, not rights—modeled after Christ, not culture. A husband must actively love, lead, and provide for his wife to foster a healthy and joyful marriage. Emotional connection is vital; husbands must learn and act on their wife's love language. Leading spiritually means holding up the Word as a guide and guard for the home. Providing includes enabling a wife's calling—financially and otherwise. Respect from a wife is the fruit of a man's sacrificial, consistent love. These roles must be taught to young men early; most flounder without vision. Scriptural References Ephesians 5:22–33 – Roles of husbands and wives in marriage. Genesis 2:24 – “Leave and cleave” foundation for marriage. Genesis 3:1–6 – Adam's failure to lead as standard bearer. Proverbs 29:18 – “Without vision, the people perish.” 1 Peter 3:7 – Husbands live with their wives in an understanding way. Recorded 3/4/07

In this sermon, Pastor Nick Allen addresses the controversial passage in 1 Corinthians 11 regarding head coverings in church. He explains that while Paul commends the Corinthians for following this tradition, the underlying principle is more important than the cultural practice itself. The sermon explores how the passage teaches about God-ordained roles in marriage, with the husband as the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. Pastor Allen emphasizes that these roles don't indicate inequality in worth or value, but rather reflect complementary functions designed by God to display the gospel. He concludes that while modern Western Christians aren't required to follow the specific cultural practice of head coverings, we should still honor the principles of gender distinction, modesty, and proper roles within marriage and the church.
Today's sermon introduced a new series on marriage, using Ephesians 5:22-32 as the foundational text. Drawing from personal experience and the metaphors of Song of Solomon, I compared marriage to a garden—something beautiful, fruitful, and refreshing, but only if it is diligently tended. The heart of the message focused on the biblical command for husbands to love their wives with “agape” love, a love that is unchanging, selfless, and not based on reciprocation. I challenged the common idea that love is simply a choice, arguing instead that true agape love is impossible to muster on our own strength; it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, not a product of human willpower. The only way to cultivate this kind of love in marriage is to be filled with the Spirit, allowing God to produce His love in and through us. The sermon closed with a call to prayer and reflection, inviting both married and unmarried listeners to seek Christ and pray for the Spirit's work in their relationships.

Send us a text In this episode of the Bare Marriage Podcast, I am talking with Biblical Greek scholar Marg Mowczko about the true meaning of "headship" in the Bible. Marg reveals that the Greek word "kephale" (head) doesn't typically mean "leader" or "authority" in ancient literature, and that no verse actually commands men to lead their wives. Instead, head-body metaphors are used in Scripture to describe unity and mutual care and as a picture of growing into the likeness of Christ for ALL Christians. Together, Marg and I talk about the Biblical evidence of Paul's support for women in ministry roles. We also take a moment to discuss the best Bible versions for more accurate translation in key passages about submission and hierarchy.

In this episode of the For the Gospel Podcast, Costi Hinn explores the topic of biblical submission in marriage. Drawing from Ephesians 5:22–24, he unpacks the meaning of "submission" in its original context, the beauty of God's design for wives, and how true biblical headship and submission reflect the gospel.
