What If I Don't Respect My Parents? | FEAT. Jessica Mitchell

🎧 Happy TRUTH Tuesday!

🔥 Do you have difficult people that are hard to love in your life? Are those people your parents, or your kids? This episode is for you!

In this episode of "I Reckon That's the Truth," Kate & Maggie tackle a difficult question society often doesn't like the answer to, with their guest Jessica Mitchell: Do Christians Have to Obey Their Parents? What all does the Bible say about that? Join us as Jess shares her emotional story regarding her difficult home life and how that contributed to the ways she treats her family, as we pull direct Bible verses to find the truth in the matter. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this conversation is sure to challenge your perspective and spark deep reflection.

 

🗣️ "They're still your parents. I'm not going to cuss them out, I'm not going to cut them out of my life, even though that would be so easy. That's what the world says: if they screw you over, screw them over too, and actually do it worse because that's what they deserve. Do my parents deserve some crap? Probably. But don't we all?” - Jessica Mitchell [20:06]

🎙️ Featured Guest: Jessica Mitchell is in the hot seat for this episode! She is a dear friend of Kate's, and now Maggie's! They met at Women's Retreat last year and were put in the same breakout group where they instantly clicked. She loves to serve at bingo nights at the church. She entertains the game so well, it could even be considered one of her spiritual gifts! Along with having the most goofy and loving personality that is sure to capture anyone's attention, she is also highly intellectual. She works at Cornerstone as a school-based therapist! She is currently in the process of becoming a licensed professional counselor, while also creating a baby due in June!
