0:00.0	Hi everyone it's Leslie Ludi host of the Set-A-Grel podcast biblical encouragement for women of all ages.
0:15.0	Today we're going to continue in our lifestyle series and talk about what it means to honor our
0:20.7	parents. This can really apply no matter what season of life you're in, but
0:24.7	specifically when you're in your teen or single years, there are some really
0:29.0	important biblical principles that are often overlooked in our modern culture today.
0:34.8	When I was in youth group probably about 12 or 13 years old, I remember vividly a moment

1:36.4	to distance from my parents because I don't want to be the only one in this entire group
1:40.5	that actually has a good relationship with her parents and therefore is labeled
1:45.0	abnormal. And I think so many issues in our culture stem from that kind of
1:50.3	pressure. We are told this is how you need to be and this is how you need to
1:54.5	act in order to be normal in the culture. So oftentimes we just go along with
1:58.8	immontality simply because we assume that that's what everybody does and that's what you're supposed to do
2:05.1	and that was really how it started for me. I begin to distance myself from my parents
