54. What Does It Mean to Honor Your Parents?
Show Notes

Normally, I only do one Ask Me Anything episode a month, but I loved this question that was sent to me and because we honestly don’t hear much about this topic at all, I thought it would be a great time to talk about it. 

 Rowan asks, “I need to explain to my Christian friends that it’s important to honor your parents but I don’t know how to do it.

In the Bible, in Exodus 20:12 it says, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”

But what is honor and what does it mean to honor our parents?

According to the United States Army, they define honor as: a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of:

  •  respect (holding others in high esteem or regard)
  • duty (commitment)
  • loyalty (faithfulness and devotion)
  • selfless service (concern and compassion for those around them)
  • integrity (being honest and showing consistency to strong moral values)
  • and personal courage (bravery) in everything you do. 

So what does it mean to honor your parents?

Are you supposed to honor your parents even if they don't deserve it?

If so, how do you honor your parents when they don't deserve it?

How do you help your friends honor their parents?

These are all questions we talk about in this week's episode of the UncommonTEEN Podcast.
