The Way Magazine Audio Edition

“To this day, God fulfills His promise to those who honor their parents. The love, support, and care we give our father and mother will be rewarded with a long life on this earth.”

In this episode, David Schiano reads his article “Corban.” He brings to life a vivid moment from the Gospels—when Jesus Christ confronted a Pharisaic tradition that placed human tradition above God’s commandment—and helps us see how honoring our parents is a lasting way to honor God Himself.

Through careful study of Mark 7:9-13, Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:2,3, and I Timothy 5:4, David traces how the misuse of the vow of corban allowed sons to withhold care from their parents under a guise of religious devotion. Jesus exposed this distortion and reaffirmed God’s heart: that honoring parents is not optional or temporary but a lifelong reflection of love toward Him.
