Description

What does it mean to honor your parents when you're no longer a kid? In this episode, Becky and Zer are joined by Bethany Rondon and her dad, Rafi, for a vulnerable conversation about the — often messy—journey of navigating parent-child relationships in adulthood.

They wrestle with real questions:

  • How do you set boundaries without breaking connection?
  • Can obedience and independence coexist?
  • What do you do when your parents weren’t perfect… or weren’t present?

Through laughter, reflection, and the wisdom of lived experience, the group unpacks how family dynamics shape our faith—and how the gospel brings healing, hope, and a new legacy. Whether your relationship with your parents is sweet, strained, or somewhere in between, this episode will remind you that redemption is always possible.

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

  • Ephesians 6:1–3 – “Honor your father and mother… that it may go well with you”
  • Proverbs 1:8–9 – “Do not forsake your mother’s teaching”
  • Psalm 68:5 – “A father to the fatherless”
  • Proverbs 13:1 – “A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline”

💡 Practical Takeaways:

  • Honoring your parents doesn’t always mean agreeing with them
  • You don’t have to repeat the patterns you were raised in
  • Healthy conflict is possible—so is healing
  • God is the perfect Father, even if yours wasn’t

If you've ever wrestled with your role as a child or a parent—or both—this one’s for you!
