The Wholehearted YES! How Wives Can Joyfully Submit to Their Husbands

About this episode

The episode discusses how wives can joyfully submit to their husbands through the concept of the 'wholehearted yes' and explores the biblical story of Abigail as an example of godly restraint.

Today we unpack the idea of the "wholehearted yes": what Scripture says about a wife's God-designed posture of responding and receiving, why wives are always communicating something whether they use words or not, and how the gutsy, faith-fueled story of Abigail — a woman who stopped a bloodbath without losing her composure — gives us one of the most powerful pictures of godly restraint in all of Scripture.
