The 5th Commandment | Honor your father and mother feat. Pastor Mike Standish

About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of honoring one's parents as outlined in the fifth commandment, discussing obedience, boundaries, and spiritual implications.

What does it really mean to honor your father and mother? In this episode, we unpack the fifth commandment and confront one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Ten Commandments. Does honoring your parents mean blind obedience? What if they failed you, hurt you, or were never spiritually healthy? We explore biblical honor vs obedience, boundaries, generational impact, and the promise attached to this commandment. Whether you’re a committed Christian, deconstructing your faith, or skeptical about authority altogether, this conversation will challenge how you think about family, responsibility, and spiritual maturity.
