You love your parents, but somewhere along the way you realized you see the world—especially the political world—very differently, and now every family gathering feels like a minefield. In this episode, we dig into Ephesians 6 and discover that honor doesn’t mean agreement; it means treating someone with dignity even when you think they’re wrong. We explore why political disagreement has become so painful—politics as identity, generational divides, old family wounds dressed up as policy debates—and how to stay in relationship without surrendering your conscience or holding your parents in contempt. Three experiments—the curiosity conversation, boundary setting, and the gratitude discipline—offer practical ways to protect both your convictions and your family. Because your parents are not your enemies, and you are not theirs.
