“Biblical submission” is one of the most misunderstood—and misused—teachings in the modern church.

In this episode, Todd and Laura examine how submission is commonly taught from the pulpit, how Scripture is often selectively applied, and how distorted authority structures can lead to spiritual abuse, silence, and harm—especially in cases of marriage, divorce, and church leadership.

Rather than rejecting submission outright, this conversation returns to the biblical context, exposing where modern church teaching departs from Scripture and why those departures carry real-world consequences.

Topics include:

How submission is redefined to protect power
Why obedience is often emphasized without mutual accountability
How abuse thrives under unbiblical authority structures
What Scripture actually teaches about submission, authority, and Christlikeness

This episode is for anyone who has been confused, harmed, or silenced by the way submission has been taught—and for those who want to understand the difference between biblical submission and spiritual control.

Naughty vs Nice is a Christian podcast that takes Scripture seriously—especially where modern Christianity often doesn’t.

Rather than echoing popular church culture, we examine what the Bible actually teaches and where cultural assumptions, soft doctrines, and misplaced authority have quietly reshaped Christian belief. Many of the ideas treated as “biblical” today simply aren’t—and the consequences show up in marriages, churches, and personal faith.

Each episode walks carefully through Scripture in context, asking harder questions:

What does the text actually say?
What assumptions have we imported into it?
What happens when the church teaches the wrong thing?

The topics are often controversial and unpopular—not because we’re chasing outrage, but because truth rarely aligns with com
