Hey fam!We can’t believe we’ve made it to video Episode 10 of Dear God, Unscripted! We’re talking about a topic that’s challenged both of us—submission in marriage 💍🫱🏾🫲🏽.This conversation is real-time growth. We're still figuring it out, still learning, still getting things wrong and going back to God for clarity. Kiara shares what it felt like to hear "wives, submit to your husbands" before she understood the full picture. And Jordan unpacks what it means to lead not by authority, but through sacrifice and service—like Christ did for the Church.We also opened the Bible on camera for this one. 📖🙌🏾We read from Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, Matthew 20, and Philippians 2, and we’re reflecting out loud on what it all means for us as a married couple. We’re not experts—just two people who love Jesus and each other, trying to walk this thing out with humility and humor.Whether you’re married, dating, or just curious about the whole idea of submission, we hope this episode blesses you, stretches you, and gives you something to talk to God about.📖 Scripture We Opened:Ephesians 5:21–25 – Mutual submission + sacrificial love1 Peter 3:1–2 – The quiet power of influenceMatthew 20:25–28 – Leadership through servicePhilippians 2:5–8 – Jesus’ example of humilityDiscussion Questions for Couples: What does submission look like in our relationship right now?Are there moments where it’s difficult to trust or yield?
