About this episode

Steve Hambrick explores the meaning of a controversial passage from the First Epistle of Peter regarding wives and husbands, and its broader implications for God's Kingdom.

For years, women have had one line from the First Epistle of Peter used against them: “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands.” But what did Peter actually mean? What did he say just a few verses later to husbands? And was this passage only about marriage—or was Peter pointing to something bigger about how God’s Kingdom moves through a hostile world?
