In this episode of "The Daily Grind" podcast, hosted by John Spencer, we dive into Discipline Seven: Submission. At first glance, submission may seem like a surrender of freedom, but John delves into the deeper meaning of this spiritual practice. He discusses how submission, when rooted in a relationship with Jesus, brings true freedom. John explores the historical context and scriptural foundations of submission, highlighting its revolutionary nature in challenging societal norms. Join us as we unpack the various aspects of submission and learn how it can lead to a more profound connection with God and a transformed perspective on freedom.
