We were made by a Maker to be makers. Bruce Herman joins Evan Rosa to diagnose the quiet illness of a passive consumer culture that trains us to sit in front of screens and scroll and take, rather than make. “When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.“ His cure is stubbornly ordinary: go make a loaf of bread, grab a stick and start carving, make a good meal or a good cocktail for the person visiting you—anything is resistance to this hypnotic, passive culture. From episode 216 of the podcast, in this segment, Herman traces what it means to receive art not as a consumer but through submission—not master and slave, but subject to subject, that vulnerable openness that lets a poem or a painting change your life. He reflects on making as human wholeness, the difference between art and info-tainment, why suffering can rip us open to beauty (from Walker Percy's writing to Christian Wiman's poetry), Rilke's charge that “you must change your life,“ hospitality as the ultimate act of art, and Herman's closing counsel to make out of love, not fear. Episode Highlights We are in relationship, and we were made by a Maker to be makers. If we let that go somehow and we become mere consumers, I think we begin to enter into some kind of illness of one sort or another. When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy. And I don't want to make an idol out of health either, but I do think our culture is unhealthy right now. We think of it as, we're discerning buyers. But the fact is we're being turned into very passive creatures. One of the best things you can do is go make a loaf of bread. Go out and grab a stick and start carving it. Anything is resistance to this sort of hypnotic passive culture. If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it. You have to let yourself go and enter into what might feel like a bad risk of being changed. Not submit in a sense that I'm a master and you're my slave. It's more like you're a subject and I'm a subject. Mutual submission. We're so guarded so much of the time that it takes something catastrophic to open us up again. Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist. You can't help it. You were made by a Maker to be a maker. End of story. The ultimate act of art is hospitality, where you're welcoming someone in, to make something beautiful for them. Challenge the bad news with a recognition that daily kindnesses are being poured out everywhere, on every street. Don't give in to fear, because it's not a basis for anything good.

When you hear the word submission, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, it's control. Silence. Inequality. A woman losing her voice. But what if that's not what the Bible is describing at all? In this episode, we sit down with three Christian women who have lived out biblical submission in marriage and ask the questions people are actually wrestling with.No clichés or stereotypes, just an honest conversation about what Scripture teaches and what it looks like in real life.We talk about why submission has become one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christianity and why God's design is far more beautiful than most people realize.We'll talk about:- What biblical submission actually is and what it isn't- Why Ephesians 5 begins with “submit to one another”- Whether submission means a woman loses her voice or identity- What submission looks like during real disagreements- How to respond when your husband isn't leading well- Where the line is between honoring your husband and saying “no”- Whether the trad wife movement is biblical or just an aesthetic- What submission looks like when the wife earns more, leads more, or is more spiritually mature- How to know if a man is actually worthy of your trust before marriage- Whether submission has any place in dating and engagement- Why God's design for marriage is meant to help both husband and wife flourishThis isn't a conversation about making women smaller. It's about understanding God's design well enough to discover the freedom that's actually inside it.Whether you're married, dating, engaged, or simply trying to understand what the Bible teaches, we hope this conversation brings clarity to one of the most debated topics in Christian relationships.Let's talk about it
#Submission #controversial Is it a challenge for you to submit? As Pastor Alex continued our series in Ephesians, we learned what God's blueprint is for the structure of a godly family. While the topic is sometimes polarizing, one thing is for sure; God is a God of order and His desire is for all families to be blessed when we lean into His word.

Of Monsters and Mushrooms, Ch. 16 (book 1 NEW) ep. 829 A Big Box of Granny's Gold NOTE: This is a rewrite of book 1. Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking. We decided to go back and completely rewrite book one to fix any plot holes and bring the quality in line with the rest of the series.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Ariyana Rimson teaches that disciple making is Christ's command beginning with submission to God (James 4:7). She urges executing Scripture—not personal opinion—resisting the enemy, and modeling a Christ-following life through teaching, Scripture-based advice, and accountability. Using her S.U.B.M.I.T. framework (Submit, Understand, Boldness, Mutual submission, Invitation, Temptation/pride), she shows how humility, community, and gospel-centered relationships transform lives, especially in her work with women in recovery.

Sunday evening message from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church
Real leaders aren't made on the throne—they're made in the cave.When David had the perfect chance to take down King Saul, everything in him screamed to act. His men urged him. Logic demanded it. But David asked a different question: "Why aren't you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?" This wasn't about self-control. This was about transformation.Submission costs everything, but on the other side? Your life. Real freedom in Christ. Our King didn't seize a throne—He took up a cross. The question isn't whether you'll restrain yourself from going after your "Saul." It's whether you revere God enough to trust Him with your vindication.
In Episode 675 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee welcomes Cameron Stack, founder and curator of Recognized.fm, for a conversation about podcast awards, creator credibility, industry recognition, and the growing business behind awards, nominations, platform distinctions, editorial selections, and career honors. Podcast awards can be easy to dismiss as another trophy or promotional exercise. Credible recognition can have a much larger impact on a creator, a show, a network, or a media company. An award nomination or win can strengthen a media kit, support sponsor conversations, attract better guests, generate press coverage, and give prospective listeners another reason to take a show seriously. The difficult part is deciding which awards deserve the investment. Podcasting now has a wide recognition ecosystem that includes juried competitions, audience-voted awards, editorial selections, regional programs, platform honors, niche-category awards, professional distinctions, and lifetime-achievement recognition such as the Podcast Hall of Fame. Cameron created Recognized.fm to organize this expanding market and help creators understand their options. Recognized currently tracks more than 100 audio and podcast awards, with information that can be filtered by factors such as geographic scope, entry fees, voting format, and prestige. They discuss why creators should begin with a clear objective before paying to submit. A widely known international award may bring general visibility, while a smaller award focused on a creator's profession, region, language, or subject category may carry more influence with the people they most want to reach. Example 1: A medical podcast may receive greater credibility in healthcare than from a broad entertainment competition. Example 2: A true-crime show may benefit more from an award respected by that community than from competing across every podcast genre. Submission fees also need to be considered. Independent creators may only have the budget to enter one or two competitions, while networks and larger publishers can treat award submissions as part of a broader marketing strategy. Cameron explains why creators should compare costs against potential returns in visibility, authority, business development, audience growth, and professional validation. The judging process matters just as much as the entry fee. Creators should understand who operates the award, how judges are selected, what criteria are used, whether the process is transparent, and how much weight the recognition will carry with the intended audience. Every award has its own purpose and incentives. Some are selected by industry juries. Others rely on fan voting, editorial judgment, platform data, or a combination of methods. Recognized.fm is building a clearer taxonomy so creators can understand those differences before committing their time and money. Awards also function as social proof. Audiences already use ratings, reviews, trailers, artwork, recommendations, and visible audience activity to decide whether a show deserves attention. A respected award or nomination adds another outside signal that the work has been evaluated and recognized. The recognition can strengthen sponsor decks, improve outreach to potential guests, support speaking opportunities, and help creators position themselves as credible voices within a category. The impact can continue long after the ceremony, as recognition becomes part of the creator's biography, website, introductions, and business materials. We also explore the larger “recognition economy”. Awards are one part of an industry that includes trophy manufacturers, submission platforms, consultants, event producers, sponsors, judging systems, media organizations, and the businesses that support professional recognition. As creator-led media grows, new awards will continue to emerge around podcasts, YouTube shows, livestreaming, newsletters, social video, and other online formats. Established awards will also need to adapt as audiences and media habits change. Artificial intelligence will bring another layer of change. Cameron expects AI-related categories and dedicated AI awards to emerge as organizations seek ways to recognize new forms of production and technological achievement. Rob raises the trust questions that will accompany that shift, especially when established human-centered awards begin considering synthetic or substantially AI-generated work. The episode closes with a look at the physical trophies themselves. Cameron shares examples from the Webbys, Signal Awards, iHeartPodcast Awards, international design competitions, and other recognition programs. A memorable trophy can become a visible symbol of the award and extend its value through videos, studio sets, social posts, and public appearances. For creators, producers, networks, and media companies, Episode 675 provides a practical framework for deciding when awards are worth pursuing, how to evaluate them, and how credible recognition can support broader media and business strategies.

Does the Bible teach male headship? Yes. I examine Genesis 3:16 where God told Eve "your desire will be to your husband, and he will rule over you." I argue that it refers to the woman's desire to exercise authority over her husband rather than submit to his authority. I also make the case that female submission to male headship was not introduced in Gen 3:16, but part of creation order in Genesis 2.

William F. Buckley once observed, “The most important intellectual enterprise is the distinction between right and wrong.” In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that compromise with the world's view of sin can quickly dull our sensitivity to God's Truth. Our emotions are unreliable guides. When we build decisions, relationships, or moral convictions on feelings alone, we become confused and miserable. This is especially true in close relationships, including marriage, where we must learn to live from the perspective of what is true, right, and pleasing to God. Dr. Youssef points to James 4, where Scripture exposes the root of fights and quarrels: desires battling within us, selfish motives, coveting, and prayer aimed at personal pleasure rather than God's will. Genuine happiness does not come from forcing our own way or avoiding God's plan. It comes through obedience, surrender, and humble submission. When God is involved, submission is not bondage—it is freedom. A life submitted to Jesus experiences lasting joy, restored relationships, and the liberating peace of walking in His will each day. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.
A door, a knock, the click of tall boots on the floor, and the moment you realise the rules have changed. We invite you into Chastity Queen's sacred space through a guided, trance-like ritual that blends relaxation, erotic audio storytelling, and the psychology of power exchange. If you're drawn to femdom energy, chastity themes, or structured submission, the journey is built to feel immersive, slow, and intentional.We move from breath and calm into clear protocol: entering with lowered eyes, stripping down except for the chastity cage, kneeling in position, and accepting the collar and leash as a symbol of belonging. The experience emphasizes silence, permission, and obedience, not as chaos, but as a container that lets your mind unclench. As the ritual deepens, we explore why structure can feel like relief, how surrender can take weight off your shoulders, and why devotion is measured through follow-through.A turning point arrives with the tribute envelope: written honour, worship offering, and the keys themselves. From there, the scene becomes richly sensory, with candles, vanilla and cinnamon, and a voice meant to resonate through your whole body. The narrative widens into a “highest sacred chamber,” where purpose matters more than prediction, and where the plan is chosen to please the queen.If this episode helps you drop into calm, reflect on what parts of ritual and control speak to you most.

Telling Stories ep. 833 J.S.Watts is a British poet and novelist who weaves the fantastical and the literary with other vibrant strands to create glowing, multi-faceted writing. Her poetry, short stories and non-fiction appear in a wide variety of publications in Britain, the US and abroad and have been broadcast on BBC and Independent Radio. She has edited various magazines and anthologies and performed her poetry across England, Scotland and Wales, but not yet in Ireland (should anyone from Ireland be reading this). Along the way, she has won various awards and had honourable mentions in others, but nothing so outstanding that she wants to make a big thing out of it. J.S.'s three poetry collections, Cats and Other Myths, Years Ago You Coloured Me and Underword, are published by Lapwing Publications, as is her multi-award nominated SF poetry pamphlet, Songs of Steelyard Sue. Her poetry pamphlet, The Submerged Sea, was published by Dempsey & Windle. Her novels, A Darker Moon – dark fiction, Witchlight, Old Light and Elderlight – an urban fantasy trilogy, are published in the US and UK by Vagabondage Press. For further details see her website: http://www.jswatts.co.uk J.S. also has a Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/J.S.Watts.page and is on Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/j-s-watts.bsky.social This story was published in the Lorelei Signal in July 2025 ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TallTaleTV Website: http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit?

The release of the Rupert Lowe Rape Gang Inquiry Report showed that the entire United Kingdom has been groomed into accepting a foreign invader's insatiable appetite for sexual destruction and oppression. Starting at the top, a long list of Prime Ministers have enabled the rape of 250,000 British girls over the past two decades.Ironically, creating a podcast about what the Pakistani rape gangs were doing in the U.K. is more likely to warrant jail time than the crimes themselves.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This podcast explores the flow of the Word and the anointing that comes when the Body of Christ listens to the Lord and moves together in submission. The Family shares how the Holy Spirit brings the Word to life, creating a flow that is beyond human thought and rooted in Christ being revealed within us. As each member waits, listens, prepares, and submits to what the Lord is speaking, the anointing builds and the Word ministers to the whole Body. The conversation also emphasizes maturity: learning when to speak, when to wait, and how to recognize the keynote of what God is saying. Through preparation before the Father, the prayer of listening, and the recognition that we are sons of God seated with Christ, the Family points to a deeper reality of oneness with Christ, the Father, and one another. Show Notes This episode centers on the spiritual flow that comes when the Word is spoken by the Holy Spirit through a submitted Body.The Family discusses the importance of finding the “keynote” of what God is speaking and not deviating from it. The anointing is found in that flow, and staying in it requires listening, maturity, and submission to one another.A strong emphasis is placed on preparation before the Lord. Waiting on the Lord, learning the prayer of listening, and allowing the spirit to be trained are presented as important foundations for flowing in what God is speaking.The conversation also highlights that Christ is being revealed within His people. As Christ the Word comes forth, the Body recognizes His voice and flows together in the anointing.The episode concludes with the reality that believers are in Christ, seated with Him in heavenly places, and brought into the presence and anointing of the Father. Key Quotes “The flow of the word. It's really a mystical thing in so many ways, but once you're in it, there's such a level of anointing in it that it carries the word into a different realm of oneness.”“It's taking a stance as a son and declaring the things that, that God wants to declare, frame, or create today.”“It's finding the keynote and staying in the keynote.”“Christ is, he's being revealed in us. Once the revelation of Christ the Word begins to speak in us, everything flows out of that.”“The greatest level of this flow will be in our submission to one another in the Lord.”“That's how we create the flow is through preparation.”“It's not difficult. Just listen And your spirit will tune right into the Christ that's flowing.”“He is in us, speaking the word that goes throughout the family and builds up the body of Christ.”“We're one with Christ and the Father, and one another.”“We're more prepared than we realize. We're sons of God.” Scriptural References Christ the Word Revealed Within Us These scriptures support the theme of Christ being revealed within His people and speaking His Word through them. John 1 (1–14) Colossians 1 (26–27) Galatians 2 (20) John 14 (20) Flowing in the Holy Spirit These references connect with the discussion of the Holy Spirit bringing the Word to remembrance and leading the flow. John 14 (26) John 16 (13) Romans 8 (14) 1 Corinthians 2 (10–13) Submission and the Many-Membered Body These scriptures support the idea of the Lord speaking through a many-membered Body, with each member submitting to the flow of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12 (12–27) Ephesians 4 (15–16) Romans 12 (4–8) Ephesians 5 (21) Waiting on the Lord and Preparation These references reflect the need to wait on the Lord, listen, and be prepared in spirit. Isaiah 40 (31) Psalm 27 (14) Habakkuk 2 (1) Mark 1 (35) Sons of God in Christ These scriptures connect with the closing emphasis on being sons of God, seated with Christ, and brought into the Father's presence. Ephesians 1 (3–6) Ephesians 2 (4–6) Romans 8 (14–17) Galatians 4 (4–7) Takeaway The flow of the Spirit is not produced by human effort; it comes as Christ is revealed within His people. As the Body listens, prepares, submits to one another, and stays with what the Lord is speaking, the anointing of the Word builds up the Family and brings them into a deeper expression of oneness with Christ, the Father, and one another.

What does healthy dominance and submission really look like? In this episode, Jen explores the deeper meaning of polarity and why it's about far more than relationship dynamics. She shares how our ability to trust, surrender, and receive begins with creating safety within our own body and nervous system. Discover how the energy you embody influences the relationships you attract, where control may be blocking flow, and how leading with presence not force creates deeper connection. Through reflective questions and practical exercises, you'll learn how balancing masculine and feminine energies can bring more ease, intimacy, and alignment to your relationships, leadership, and everyday life.

Narrative Summary Surgeons are trained to endure, perform, and prove — but nobody ever teaches them to negotiate. In this episode, Amy pulls back the curtain on a live Boss Surgeons coaching call to teach the framework she calls “lion taming”: a way to hold your ground with the difficult partner, the dismissive colleague, or the patient who's testing you, without becoming someone you're not. The core insight is a reframe. The people who intimidate you — the “lions” — aren't attacking out of strength. Their “roar” is their own stress response. Amy uses the classic tale of Androcles and the Lion to show what happens when you address someone's pain instead of their behavior, then breaks the shift down into a three-step method: Anchor (get grounded in yourself), Align (understand where they're headed and get in step with it), and Ask (make a clear, direct request from a place of safety, not apology). She backs it up with Heather's story — a surgeon who used this approach to resolve a toxic work relationship in her own head before she ever left the job, then walked into her next role as a different, more grounded version of herself. The episode closes with an invitation into Boss Surgeons, the year-long group where this framework gets practiced live, and a lower-commitment first step for anyone who isn't ready to decide yet. Detailed Episode Notes The Skill Gap, Not a Personal Failure Amy opens by naming the real problem: surgeons were trained to be employees — to suppress what they want, do what they're told, and win through overworking or proving themselves. Negotiation was never part of the curriculum. What feels like a confidence problem is actually a skills gap, and skills can be learned. Who Are the “Lions”? A “lion” is anyone in front of you who could cause harm — a more experienced colleague, a competitor, a patient, someone with a differing opinion. Amy makes the point that this is functionally everyone, which is exactly why the skill matters. The goal isn't to eliminate lions. It's to learn to move through a room full of them without losing yourself. The Roar Is Their Stress Response — Not Yours to Absorb When someone interrupts, dismisses, or threatens, that's a fight-flight-freeze-fawn response — theirs. Responding to the roar itself (arguing back, reporting, quitting) only addresses the symptom. Amy's reframe: speak to the stressor behind the roar, not the roar itself, and the entire interaction changes. Androcles and the Lion Amy retells the classic fable: a runaway slave finds an injured, intimidating lion and, instead of fleeing, notices the thorn in its paw and removes it. Later, when the two are thrown together in an arena, the lion refuses to harm him. The lesson: when you address someone's underlying pain instead of reacting to their bad behavior, you don't just neutralize a threat — you can turn it into an ally. Dominance vs. Submission — Reframed Amy untangles two words most people confuse. Dominance isn't hostility — it's understanding your own power and using it to move a situation forward. Submission isn't weakness — it's knowing exactly what you want and asking for it without apology. Negotiation, in her framing, runs on strategy and emotional intelligence, not logic or force. The Framework: Anchor, Align, Ask Anchor — get present and grounded in yourself before the interaction. “I'm safe. You're safe. This is important.” Align — observe carefully, understand where the other person is headed, and get in step with it. “I know what I want, and I know what you want too.” Ask — once trust and safety are established, make a direct, clear request — firm, kind, and specific. Amy is explicit that this only works in order: you can't ask well from a place of fear, and you can't align if you're not anchored first. Heather's Story Amy shares (with permission) the story of Heather, a surgeon who came to coaching while struggling with a difficult colleague. Rather than waiting for the other person to change, Heather worked through the relationship in her own head first — and by the time she left that job, she'd already resolved it internally. She carried that groundedness into her next role, where she described herself as “Switzerland”: same category of problems, completely different result, because she showed up differently. The Invitation Amy closes by naming the real objections surgeons carry into this decision — the price, the time, “I don't think it'll work for my situation,” and the high-achiever reflex of “I should be able to do this myself.” Rather than arguing each one down, she reframes the cost of staying stuck: lost time, lost respect, and the compounding toll of walking into the same rooms with the same lions, year after year. Key Takeaways Negotiation is a skill gap, not a character flaw — no one ever taught it to you. The “roar” you're reacting to is someone else's stress response, not a verdict on you. Dominance is not hostility. Submission is not weakness. Both are tools. You can't align or ask well until you're anchored in yourself first. Addressing someone's underlying pain — not just their bad behavior — can turn a threat into an ally. Confidence isn't the absence of fear; it's the ability to feel any emotion and act anyway. You change your relationships by changing yourself first — not by waiting for the other person to change. Pull Quotes “No one can take your joy. You have to give it to them.” “Dominance is not hostility, and submission is not weakness.” “It's not logic, it's strategy. It's not strength, it's trust and authority. It's not a fight, it's dominance and submission.” “The roar is their stress response. Your response is your stress response.” “Power is a tool, not a threat.” “I used to walk into a room wondering what people thought about me. Now I wonder what I think about them.”

Instead, it's a voluntary response to God's design that displays the beauty of the gospel within marriage.In this message you'll discover:What biblical submission actually means—and what it doesn't.Why submission is rooted in trust, not inferiority.How the relationship between Christ and the Church shapes God's design for marriage.How husbands and wives reflect the gospel through their unique, God-given roles.Why God's design for marriage ultimately points people to Jesus.Whether you're married, engaged, single, or simply seeking to better understand what the Bible teaches, this message will challenge you to see God's design through the lens of His love and His purpose.Scripture References:Ephesians 5:22–24Genesis 1:27John 6:38Luke 22:42At 2Rivers, our mission is to help people become passionate followers of Jesus Christ so they can experience the life He intended and help others do the same.If this message encourages you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could benefit from it.#2RiversChurch #Jesusitheleadstory #theuncommonlife #theuncommonlife series #Ephesians #BiblicalMarriage #ChristianMarriage #MarriageGodsWay #Submission #Jesus #BibleTeaching #Faith #FollowJesus
Marriage is one of God's most profound gifts, and it comes with a design that is both countercultural and deeply freeing when embraced with the help of the Holy Spirit. The picture offered in this episode is a marriage viewed as 51/49: equal in value, distinct in role. The husband carries an extra measure of responsibility before God as the leader and protector of the home, and the wife is invited to fulfill her own God-ordained role with joy, excellence, and a spirit of respect. This is not a diminishment of the wife's voice or contribution. It is God's order for the family, and walking within it is where His peace is found. For wives whose husbands are not yet the spiritual leaders of their homes, this can feel especially difficult. How do you submit with a glad heart when your husband is not carrying his spiritual weight? Peter addresses this directly in 1 Peter 3:1-2, reminding wives that a husband who is disobedient to the Word can be won over not by nagging or lecturing, but by the quiet, consistent witness of a wife's chaste and respectful behavior. That kind of influence requires something we cannot manufacture on our own. It requires the grace of the Holy Spirit working in and through us, humbling us daily, and giving us a heart to serve even when it is hard. God sees your marriage, He values your covenant, and He is at work in both of your hearts. Bible Verse "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior."— 1 Peter 3:1-2, NASB Ponder Today Equal in value, distinct in role. God did not design men and women to be interchangeable in their family roles. Embracing the role He has specifically designed for you as a wife is not a burden — it is a gift that leads to peace rather than chaos. A godly wife's greatest influence is often not her words. Peter's counsel is striking: a husband disobedient to the Word can be won over by observing his wife's respectful and chaste behavior. The witness of a life lived well speaks more powerfully than nagging ever could. Submission is not possible without the Holy Spirit's help. Walking in the role God has designed for you, especially when your husband falls short, requires grace you cannot generate on your own. Ask for it daily and expect God to provide it. God sees the dynamic in your home and He is at work in it. Whether your husband is a strong spiritual leader or still far from faith, your marriage covenant matters deeply to God. He wants to work in both of your hearts to reflect His ways. Fulfilling your role with joy and excellence is one of the most loving things you can do for your husband and family. When a wife prays for, encourages, and respects her husband — even in his imperfection — she lightens a burden he carries before God and reflects the grace of Christ in her home. A Prayer for You Today Father God, thank You for the gift of marriage. It is not always easy, but please help me see it as the gift it truly is. Help me hold my tongue when I am frustrated and learn to walk in a respectful manner toward my husband. I ask that You bless him as he seeks to support and provide for our family, and move in his heart to hunger after Your Word as he learns to lead. If he does not yet know You or love You, convict his heart to see his great need of the Savior and draw him to the cross. Thank You for my husband and for the order You have placed in the family. I pray Your peace would be our foundation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in Submission - Advice for Christian Marriage. (Ephesians 5: 21-33) The text now turns to one of the most practical, most needed, and let's be honest, most misunderstood subjects in the entire New Testament: Because we are advised to walk in submission. And we are going to consider it in the context of where most people live, this aspect of the Christian walk out that is within marriage. With so many marriages falling apart today, with so many couples struggling, with so much confusion about roles, expectations, and responsibilities, with so much advice given online by so-called influencers, one of the greatest needs in our society is a clear, healthy, godly model of marriage. A model people can look at and say, “If we lived like that, we would have a strong, joyful, lasting marriage.” I wonder if you know a couple like that? A couple whose marriage you would gladly recommend as a model for others? I think many of us might struggle to think of one, but the good news is this. God Himself has given us the perfect model for marriage. Not a cultural model, not a modern model, not a traditional model, and certainly not a psychological model. A biblical model. A Christ‑centred model. A Spirit‑filled model. And Paul lays it out for us in Ephesians 5. Now, some of you might be thinking. “I'm not married — why do I need this?” Let me tell you why. If you're single, you need this more than married people do. Married people are already in the middle of their story; they're already living out the consequences of the choices they made. But if you're single, you still have the opportunity to choose wisely, to prepare well, to know what to look for, and to build your expectations on God's design rather than the world's confusion. And even if you're single and have no plans to marry, you still need this passage. Why? Because you know married people. You will be asked for advice. You will be asked to pray. You might be asked to support, encourage, or guide, and you need to know what God says, so you can help others wisely. So today, we are going to look at: · God's model for marriage,· The meaning of biblical submission,· The sacrificial love of Christ,· And how marriage becomes a living picture of the relationship between Christ and His church. And it all begins with one foundational verse: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Ephesians 5:21) This is the doorway into everything that follows. Before Paul speaks to wives, before he speaks to husbands, before he speaks about roles, before he even speaks about love and sacrifice, he lays down this principle: The Christian life is a life of mutual submission. A life shaped by Christlike humility. A life marked by self‑giving love. This is the heartbeat of Christian marriage. This is the heartbeat of Christian relationships. This is the heartbeat of the gospel….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Women's MMA pioneer Jen Case (Dr. JenJitsu) joins Mike Davis for a rare, in-depth interview on the MMA History Podcast.Jen went 4-1 as a pro, finishing every victory by submission — including two wins over fellow pioneer Julie Kedzie (armbar and triangle). From a small Kansas farming community, she went from self-defense classes and karate to learning Jiu-Jitsu from Mario Sperry VHS tapes, competing in men's brackets just to face other women, and helping lay the foundation for women's MMA when the sport barely wanted them around.This episode dives into the raw realities of the early days: training in gyms where the guys tried to make her quit, $100 purses, paying to fight, long drives to shows, Hook & Shoot battles, facing tough opponents like Greta Hicks and Erin Toughill, wild backstage scenes, and the no-nonsense mindset of that era. After an ACL tear, Jen shifted focus to academics and built an elite Jiu-Jitsu career as a purple belt Worlds champion, brown belt Pan Ams winner, multiple-time Masters double gold medalist, and ADCC West Coast Trials competitor — while earning her PhD in Human Nutrition & Performance. She now coaches at Charlotte Jiu-Jitsu.If you love the true history of women's MMA, the pioneers who beat the doors down, or how Jiu-Jitsu can transform a life, this conversation is essential.Subscribe for more deep-dive interviews with the legends who built MMA.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 166 Here in the West, we talk a lot about Islam and Sharia as though they're separate things. They are not separate things. Islam means submission. Submission is expressed through the Divine Law called Sharia. Therefore, Islam means submission to God through keeping Sharia. According to Sayyid Qutb in his 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), "This is Islam. There is no other meaning of Islam." Since Qutb is widely regarded as the intellectual foundation for the current Muslim Brotherhood, we should perhaps take this view seriously. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay makes this point clear, reading straight from Qutb. Join him to understand that there's no difference between Islam and Sharia.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 318), I take us into Paul's letter to the Ephesians and one of the most practical truths of Spirit-filled living. Ephesians is a book of grace, redemption, and the power of the Holy Spirit, but its message is not merely theological—it is deeply personal. The evidence of a Spirit-filled life is not found only in worship services or spiritual experiences, but in how we treat the people closest to us every day. From Ephesians 5–6, we explore what biblical submission really means, how Christlike leadership is rooted in self-sacrifice, and why healthy marriages, families, workplaces, and churches are built on giving ourselves for the good of others. The Holy Spirit was never meant to remain a doctrine; He is meant to shape the way we love, serve, forgive, and relate to one another. If you want to know what Spirit-filled Christianity looks like in real life, this message is for you.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Crisis of Ephesus and the(00:07:23) - The Entire Story of Ephesians(00:14:49) - Living in the Spirit(00:17:22) - Wives' Submission in the Spirit(00:23:08) - The Head of the Household in Ephesians 5:22(00:28:38) - Paul on Spirit-filled Living(00:33:26) - The Spirit of Ephesians

A Man's Submission to God
Segment 1 • Jonathan asks: “What should I find out before dating a Messianic Jew who believes in Jesus but still practices Jewish traditions?” • Ryan wrestles with a difficult church decision: When does weak preaching become a reason to leave? • Anonymous asks how a wife can biblically submit when her husband's financial decisions are leading the family deeper into debt. Segment 2 • Todd continues to address the question from the previous segment regarding biblical submission when a husband's spending habits seem reckless? Segment 3 • Tom asks a heartbreaking question: Does chronic illness make me a sluggard in God's eyes? Segment 4 • Joe wonders if a Christian can truly be saved while feeling little or no joy because of a medical condition and medication side effects. • Anonymous asks whether Bible quizzing helps children treasure Scripture or risks turning God's Word into a competition. • Steve discovers his church is pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, and dispensational—and wonders what that really means. • Anonymous asks a sensitive church question: How should congregations care for worshipers with disruptive Tourette's syndrome without excluding them? ___ Thanks for listening!
