FamilyLife Today®

If submission makes you bristle and leadership feels confusing, you’re not alone. Pastors Rechab Gray and and Ike Todd dig into what Scripture actually teaches about marriage—why husbands must model submission first, why empathy matters, and how community keeps love honest. It's Ephesians 5, explained--offering clarity, conviction, and hope for couples who want more than surface-level peace, and the men who lead them.

Men, you’ve heard “lead your wife.” But what if you missed the assignment? Dave Wilson sits down with pastors Ike Todd and Rechab Gray for a no-posturing, men-only gut check on Ephesians 5:23 and surrounding verses. This isn’t chest-thumping leadership talk—it’s about cherishing, nourishing, repenting, and loving like Jesus actually does. Expect laughs, holy conviction, and practical shifts that make submission safer, lighter, and—yes—happier.
