Do We Treat In-Laws Like Our Parents? Pastor Mike Explains
Saturday, January 10, 2026
In this thoughtful response, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a listener asking whether Christians should treat their elderly in-laws like their own parents—even when those in-laws are unbelievers or nominal Muslims who aren’t open to hearing about Christ. Pastor Mike explains that Scripture calls husbands and wives to function as one, sharing responsibility for both sets of parents. He emphasizes the biblical duty to care, assist, and honor elderly in-laws just as we would our own parents, while still sharing the gospel when appropriate. This segment offers compassionate, practical wisdom for navigating family relationships across cultural and religious differences.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
