The 11 Commandments - Episode 5: Honoring Parents in a Changing World

Jeff Ling and Dr. Bob Petterson explore the fifth commandment—"Honor your father and mother"—as part of a series on teaching the 11 commandments to the next generation. They discuss how true love is committed action, why honoring earthly parents reflects honoring our heavenly Father, and how family, discipline, and modeling authority shape children’s moral development. The episode covers practical guidance for parents and grandparents, caring for aging parents, handling toxic relationships, and the higher loyalty to God when earthly authorities conflict with His commands. It emphasizes the lifelong responsibility to teach respect, obedience, and a legacy of faith.
