Summary
Michael interviews David and Krista Dunham about their book, Power with Purpose: God’s Design for Power Dynamics in a Marriage. They share their backgrounds in pastoral ministry, counseling, and ABC resource development, and explain they wrote the book as a constructive, “pre-abuse” resource after seeing power issues damage marriages and recognizing a lack of practical guidance. Walking through the book’s structure, they discuss understanding power as God-given and meant for good, developing a shared family vision, and how husbands and wives should use power biblically, including headship that empowers and a wife’s influence expressed through strengthening, sustaining, and sharpening, with submission defined as purposeful yielding of a wife’s power. They emphasize mutuality, collaboration, and one-another commands, and note the book includes reflection questions for ongoing application. 00:00 Conference Intro and Guests 01:01 Meet Dave and Krista 02:16 Why They Wrote It 04:20 Book Roadmap Overview 04:37 Understanding Power 06:39 Power Purpose and Jesus 08:17 Shared Family Vision 12:59 Husbands Use of Power 15:41 Wives Use of Power 19:47 Mutuality and Collaboration 24:29 Final Encouragement and Wrap Episode Mentions Power with Purpose Book
