In this episode Chris Hamilton unpacks the biblical mandate of honoring our parents as adult children, and also answers the following questions: How does our relationship with our parents change over the span of our lifetime from cradle to grave? Parents may have certain expectations for their children in regards to their education, career, who they should marry, and where they should live.  How can a daughter communicate differences in these areas to her parents in a way that is still respectful? For those with unbelieving parents, or those who have a challenging relationship with their parents, how would you encourage them and how can they still build up those relationships? If you don't agree with a decision your parents make, or they are doing something sinful, how should you exhort them? Looking to the future, what counsel would you give a woman for how she can cultivate her relationships with her in-laws?
