Aron and Lindsey (marriage and family therapists) continue their conversation around the theology of submission.  This episode dives in to the words we can use to describe submission, that completely misrepresents the word.    We hope the conversation sheds some light on the difference.

Submission is often a word that is used as a weapon of control and it completely subverts the intended meaning of the word.
