“Honor your father and mother.” Easy to say, harder to live. In this episode of Family Vision, Rob and Amy Rienow continue the 10 Commandments Series by diving into the Fifth Commandment and why it's one of the most culturally ignored and misunderstood commands today.

You’ll hear how modern media undermines this biblical truth, how parents can practically teach honor at home, and why honoring parents is foundational to a child’s spiritual and emotional health. Plus, discover how this commandment is directly tied to God’s blessing for generations to come.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

- Why biblical honor is countercultural in today’s world - How TV and media subtly teach children to disrespect authority - Why parents—not teachers or churches—must primarily cultivate honor in children - How Eli’s failure to correct his sons led to devastating consequences - Practical ideas to help parents encourage their kids to grow in honor
