Last week, we talked about how if you want more space now, you need to lean in to the authorities over you and earn their trust. We said that space increases as trust is
earned.

And in middle school, your parents are a very important authority that is in your life now. But when it comes to honoring your parents, it’s not just about getting more space now. It’s about setting yourself up for success for the rest of your life.

Paul tells us how to do this in his letter to the Ephesians. We are called to honor our parents.
