Episode Details

Should honour be earned, or is it a command from God?In this episode, we look at what God's Word says about honouring our parents. Honour is not based on a parent's performance, perfection, or whether they've always gotten it right. God's instruction to honour our father and mother is unconditional.One thing many of us overlook is this: The blessing attached to honour benefits the child, not the parent.We also talk about difficult family dynamics and why, in some cases, honour may look different. Sometimes, honour can be from a distance if closeness continually leads to dishonour. Other times, it means choosing to overlook a parent's shortcomings, not because they were right, but because you choose to obey God's Word.Our parents are human too. They can make mistakes. But let's not allow another person's imperfections to make us miss the blessings attached to our obedience.
