In this episode, we delve into Ephesians 6:1-9 with Matt Kenney (Adult & Family Ministries Pastor), where Paul addresses the crucial relationships between children, parents, and servants.

Whether you’re a parent, a child, or someone navigating their daily work life, these verses offer timeless guidance on how to live out our faith with integrity, respect, and a servant's heart. Join us as we unpack these teachings and discuss their relevance in our modern lives.
