Becomenew.com/study-guides Submission. Just hearing that word can feel… uncomfortable. In a culture that prizes independence, autonomy, and “doing life your way,” the idea of submitting to someone else can sound outdated—or even dangerous. But what if submission, rightly understood, is actually a pathway to freedom? In today’s teaching, we explore the spiritual discipline of submission—not as control or coercion, but as a humble, intentional decision to learn from those who are further along in wisdom and character. Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of Dallas Willard, and real-life examples, this message reframes submission as a powerful tool for growth, accountability, and transformation. Because sometimes the fastest way forward… is learning to follow. Welcome home. Change starts today. 📚 Today's Resources: The Spirit of the Disciplines — Dallas Willard Story reference connected to The Sound of Music (Maria von Trapp) Concept parallels with Alcoholics Anonymous (sponsor model) 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
