Honoring Our Mother and Father with Tim Elmore
We’ve seen how the first five commandments are vertical in nature (how we honor the Lord). Now we pivot to discuss the last five commandments which are horizontal in nature (how we interact with each other). In today’s episode, Jeff and Laura sit down with a longtime friend, Tim Elmore, to share insights on how parents can create a home environment that reflects the kingdom of God.
As Christians, we are called to love and honor our parents (Exodus 20:12). This not only applies to our relationship with our biological parents but also in how we parent our own children. Tim highlights the importance of building strong relationships with our kids, as it mirrors the heart of God and promotes human flourishing.
