We have distorted the meanings of “submit” and “respect” by only focusing on the passages that speak to wives. Many passages speaking to “submission” or “respect” also speak to men and husbands.
When Paul tells couples to give their spouses their sexual rights in 1 Corinthians 7 he is not talking about enduring abusive behavior.
When is preserving marriage enabling abuse? Is all divorce sin? Does “turning the other cheek” apply to victims of domestic violence?
All this and more discussed in this week’s patron-sponsored blog post.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.

Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
