About this Episode

We push back on the claim that masculine leadership is always oppressive by opening Ephesians 5 and tracing the shape of Christlike, sacrificial headship. We define tethered masculinity as authority submitted to Scripture that yields care, order, and flourishing.

• the culture’s claim about patriarchy and oppression 
• where oppression is real when leadership is untethered 
• Ephesians 5 read in full context for husbands and wives 
• Christ’s model of sacrifice, service and protection 
• God’s ordering of the home and its purpose 
• practical contrasts between untethered and tethered outcomes 
• reflection questions for men on love and submission
