What Should Honoring an Absent Father Look Like?

God wants us to honor our fathers and mothers. But how can we do that, why should we do that, when we have deep, painful father wounds? And yet, we know the Christian way means loving those even who hurt us. Forgiveness and prayer, though hard, are still doable.

In this episode, Kia walks through what God’s Word says about loving our fathers and how we can pursue the most excellent way, even with someone who has left us wounded.
