We explore what it means to exercise godly dominion by working together instead of alone. From embracing relational leadership and rejecting transactional mindsets to equipping others and celebrating growth, this episode challenges us to see people, share authority, confront bitterness, and build teams that reflect the unity of the Trinity.

QUESTIONS:

1. Are you exercising dominion in the spaces God has given you, or are you operating in isolation and control?
2. Do you genuinely see and value the people you work with, or have relationships become transactional?
3. Where might God be calling you to equip others, loosen your grip, and celebrate someone else’s growth?

We dive into the hot topic of God’s design for mutual submission in marriage. Husbands bear the weight of Christlike headship through sacrificial leadership, and wives exercise powerful, faith-filled partnership by embracing God’s order. When both spouses seek to out-serve the other, families flourish and reflect Christ and His church.

QUESTIONS:

1. Do you view submission through a cultural lens of control or through God’s lens of selfless giving and reverence for Christ?

2. As a husband, are you leading like Jesus—loving, serving, and carrying responsibility rather than demanding?

3. As a wife, where might God be inviting you to trust His design and let your husband lead with unity?

QUESTIONS:

1. When do you feel a deep sense of joy and purpose in what you’re doing?
2. What happens when we place our identity in our achievements but then life changes?
