Many women in religious Christian churches have swallowed the bitter poison of toxic submission doctrine..
.. that little phrase "wives, submit to your husbands" that sends ripples anxiety through many women that has often been administered to keep women silenced and compliant.
As little girls we've watched as our moms had to submit to abusive, incompetent, negligent or passive men.
We've dulled ourselves down and pretended we're not smarter than the men in our spheres (along with any desire or skill we have to lead).
We’ve silenced ourselves as we’ve encountered men who’ve demanded it from us in the very spaces that should’ve been safest.
We have felt trapped.
We have felt powerless.
We have been stripped of our voice and our brilliance as women in the name of this teaching.
This has impacted the voices, self-worth and self-belief.. along with their ability to just have beautiful, safe, nourishing relationships.
This is one of the major reasons women leave church, and walk away from God himself.
Because how could an all-loving God expect this of us?
THIS is why we needed to have this discussion.
A deep discussion about the poison, scripture, the wounding, God's view and how we move beyond all of these triggers to have healthy relationships with men in harmony with God's original intention for us.
