The Ten Commandments: Honoring Your Parents & Authority
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does the Fifth Commandment really mean? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore how honoring our parents not only applies to childhood obedience, but to every season of life.
They also expand the conversation to authority more broadly, addressing why our culture often resists authority and how Christians can live faithfully under parents, leaders, and institutions. From honoring aging parents to navigating government and school boards, this episode helps us see how honoring authority is part of honoring God.
