Do parents idolize their kids in America? How much of a parent’s life should revolve around their child? How should kids treat their parents?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding parent/child relationships. We talk through the roles of each and how they change as people age. We talk through what it means to honor your parents and the role parents have in developing and disciplining their own children. We spend much of the time giving biblical examples of parent/child relationships to look at some positive ones to emulate and some negative ones to avoid.
