The Honor Code: What It's Really Like to Work for Your Father in Ministry | S5 E22

It's one thing to honor  your father. It's quite another to honor him while you work for him.

In this powerful episode, Chris Alessi welcomes his good friend Caleb Thomas to the Family Business to discuss their experiences as sons who chose to work for their fathers in ministry.

They open up about the honor principle that has guided their decisions as they each followed a father's footsteps, and explore how those choices molded them into the people they are today.

As they reflect on their relationships with their fathers, and their roles as co-workers and proteges, you'll learn powerful concepts of legacy, submission, and setting an example for your own children.

Listen in as these two pastor's sons reveal the immense impact that a good father can have on his children - even in a unique, demanding ministry environment.

Caleb Thomas is a staff pastor at Free Life Chapel in Lakeland FL, where he serves under his parents Pastors Scott and Cindy Thomas. He and his wife Elizabeth are the proud parents of their son, Malachi Santiago, and are currently preparing to welcome their daughter, Thalia Sage.
