With The Perrys

Let’s be clear— headship and dominance are not the same thing. Christ-like headship requires two things that may be difficult for some husbands: sacrifice and vulnerability. We chat about what real headship is, what it isn’t, and why it can be scary.

As it is in any culture, there are unique belief systems that spring up in response to the distinct experiences of people within a community.

What is central to each of these groups is a disdain for the Chr...
