Fearful Faith – Week 2 | Honor

When the people who should have protected and guided you have hurt or disappointed you, how do you respond? This message looks squarely at the tension of honoring parents and other authorities when respect feels impossible — from fractured childhood wounds and abusive leaders to political disagreements and spiritual betrayal. It names the awkward, painful realities many of us carry and refuses to paper over them. The talk traces a different path: honor as a choice rooted in the dignity that every person bears, the responsibilities built into family and civic ties, and the kind of grace modeled by Jesus. Practical wisdom blends with honest stories about caregiving, forgiveness, and setting boundaries, not to excuse harm but to offer a way forward that can break cycles and shape future generations. Expect comfort that’s honest and challenges that stick with you long after the last word.
