Are My Parents Toxic? The Truth about Going "No Contact" | Bill and Pam Farrel
Going "no contact" is a trend today—the idea that adult kids must cut ties with their parents for the sake of healing and self-care. But how does that line up with Jesus’ command to "not judge" and "be merciful" (Luke 6:36)?
In this episode, relationship experts Bill and Pam Farrel share biblical wisdom and real-life insight on how to honestly evaluate your parents without canceling them, how to navigate painful family dynamics with both truth and love, and how to honor God’s design for generations—built on bridges, not burned ones.
If you’ve ever wondered whether distance is the only option, this three-part conversation points to a better way forward.
