Most Men Quote Ephesians 5:22 and Skip the Verse That Condemns Them

Most men who quote Ephesians 5 start at verse 22. Wives submit. Convenient. What they skip is verse 25, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. He was crucified. He was tortured. He gave everything. That is the standard. In this episode Jesse breaks down Ephesians 5:21 through 33 verse by verse and teaches what sacrificial love actually demands from a husband in real life, not the flowers and birthday card version pastors preach from safe pulpits. What you will hear in this episode: why submission starts with you submitting to Christ before you can ask anything of your wife, why your wife is a direct reflection of your leadership, why siding with your parents over your wife violates Scripture, what it means to be the fire blanket when her emotions rise instead of the man who retreats, why you cannot love your wife if you do not love yourself, and the moment Jesse's wife told him she may never trust him again and what his response revealed about his identity.
