SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

Could honoring our parents heal us?

Is there more to the Fifth Commandment, “Honour thy father and thy mother” (Exodus 20:12), than respect and obedience? Our guest shares how this commandment has actually taught him more about how to honor God, and how that’s brought healing in his life.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch podcast (and other audio offerings)
