In a world where the concept of authority is increasingly being undermined, a crucial question arises: should children fear their parents? This episode of the Ultimate Issues Hour explores the importance of a healthy dose of fear in the parent-child relationship, and how its absence can lead to a society where parents fear their kids, and teachers fear their students.
Dennis delves into the biblical notion of fearing one's parents, and how it's essential for children to understand that their parents are in charge. He shares personal anecdotes and listener calls to illustrate the point that a healthy fear of consequences is necessary for children to learn and grow. The discussion also touches on the idea that a lack of fear can lead to a sense of entitlement and a disregard for authority.

A Prayer When You Feel Forgotten in a Waiting Season - Your Daily Prayer - October 14
God never forgot me—not for a single day, not for a single moment. While I was pleading for Him to answer one prayer, He was writing a story far greater than I could imagine.
