Honoring Your Aging Parent: Understanding Proverbs 23:22: "Do Not Despise Your Mother When She is Old" How to Honor Your Aging Parent With Grace, Wisdom ... Boundaries (30-Minute Understanding) (Unabridged‪)‬

Caring for an aging parent is one of the hardest seasons of life—and one of the most misunderstood.

If you're caring for an aging parent, you may find yourself asking questions you never expected:

Am I helping enough?

Am I helping too much?

Where does honoring my parent end and enabling begin?

Can I set healthy boundaries and still honor God?

If you've wrestled with the emotional exhaustion that often comes with supporting an elderly parent, you're not alone.

Christian counselor and author Kimberly Johnson explores the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 23: 22 and answers one of the most difficult questions many believers face:

What does it really mean to honor your father and mother when life—and family—is complicated?
