About this sermon

*Episode Title: Should I Cut My Parents Out of My Life?* Podcast: _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century_ with Dr. David K. Bernard An increasing number of adult children are choosing to cut off contact with their parents in the name of “boundaries”—a trend that is now affecting Christian and Apostolic families as well. But what does Scripture say? In this episode of _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century,_ Dr. David K. Bernard addresses a difficult and deeply personal question: Does the Bible support an adult Christian cutting ties with their Christian parents? With pastoral insight and biblical clarity, Dr. Bernard explores: • The scriptural command to honor father and mother • Establishing healthy, biblical boundaries • Personal responsibility in strained relationships • How believers should respond when family dynamics become painful This conversation calls us back to timeless biblical principles and challenges us to approach family conflict through the lens of Scripture. This episode was prompted by the following article highlighting the growing cultural trend of estrangement: https://thefederalist.com/2025/10/28/one-quarter-of-young-americans-cut-off-their-parents-and-call-it-boundaries/ If you or someone you know is navigating difficult family relationships, this episode offers thoughtful, balanced, and biblically grounded guidance. 🎧 Ideal for pastors, theology students, and believers seeking a deeper understanding of biblical truth. 👉 Subscribe to this channel for more teaching on Apostolic doctrine, Scripture, and Christian living in the modern world. 🛒 Visit https://pentecostalpublishing.com/collections/david-k-bernard to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.
