Biblical Submission in a Christ-Centered Partnership

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor John and Michelle Richardson explore what the Bible really teaches about submission. They discuss how biblical submission is not blind obedience or servitude, but a voluntary, Christ-centered partnership that reflects the relationship between Christ and His church. Together, they unpack key passages of Scripture, address common misconceptions, and offer practical wisdom for marriage and the Christian life. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.rainbowforest.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yIMDuiNoblL0yhbFgDeO4QtJhTiT_2X]

The Purpose of Missions & Short-Term Trips
