Patrick explores how to honor our parents, heal, and find lightness in letting go. Dealing with difficult parental relationships can be tough, but honoring your father and mother doesn't mean putting them on a pedestal. It's about giving the due respect they deserve, even if your parents have hurt you or done wrong. Forgiveness is key. Release that emotional baggage and find peace. Even if you don't feel the warm and fuzzies, praying for them can be enough. Don't stay in toxic or dangerous situations, but know that honoring them can also mean setting boundaries.

 

• Joan - How do you know if a marriage is valid or could be annulled? (00:52)
• Tom - What if you were the child of Hitler/Mussolini, should you honor them?  I say no.  Regardless of where you came from, the best way to honor parents is to live a Godly life and bring honor to the family. (22:55)
• Patrick talks with Cyrus about forgiveness and not carrying the weight of anger and resentment with you (30:58)
• Diane - Because of Patrick's show, I’m getting married again to my husband in a Church! (40:42)
• Job - There was a tremendous amount of infidelity on my wife part (who's in the public eye) and I slapped her.  My children hate me.  We don't have an annulment.  I don't know how to approach her.  How do I get through to my kids that I'm the good guy? (47:58)
