The Messy Adventure | Parenting Your Parents
Pastor Matt is closing out The Messy Adventure series by discussing what happens when parenting roles reverse. Often the biggest tension in this situation arises when each side has a different perspective on what is most important: safety vs. dignity and autonomy. Our parents don’t want to be managed; they want to be honored — and honor includes their voice. Unfortunately, not all relationships are healthy, so the question arises: How do you honor a parent when there has been hurt or even abuse? Pastor Matt shares how honor doesn’t equal trust, closeness, or blind obedience, but honor does require forgiveness.
