Why does the word “submission” make so many people uncomfortable?

In this week’s Crosstown Midweek Bible Study, Dr. Nicholas Pearce unpacks “The S Word” — submission — and what it truly means according to Scripture. Anchored in New Testament wisdom, this teaching challenges cultural assumptions about freedom and reframes submission as alignment under the authority and wisdom of God.

Submission is not weakness. It is not control. It is not oppression.

This teaching unpacks how biblical submission is a response to God’s mercy and an act of worship that brings our lives into proper alignment with Him. This conversation also explores biblical perspectives on how submission functions in the life of the church and in marriage relationships.

Crosstown Midweek is our weekly virtual Bible Study designed to recharge your faith in the middle of the week with practical, Christ-centered teaching that speaks directly to everyday life.
