What does it really mean to honor your parents when there has been pain? In part two of this conversation, Christina and I open the bible and talk through a biblical approach to boundaries, forgiveness, and what it looks like to walk with God in real life.
We look at Jesus and his interactions with Mary and his family, and we tease out the difference between pleasing parents and honoring them. We talk about why obedience to God matters most, how to define a boundary in a clear and healthy way, and how healing can include both compassion and distance. If you feel stuck between faith and family expectations, I hope this brings you practical clarity and real faith encouragement.
If you are in an unsafe or abusive situation, please reach out to someone who can help you right away. You are not broken for needing support. If you want to share what this brought up for you, or ask a question for a future episode, contact us.
