As a pastor’s son, Rich Wilkerson Sr., cousin of famed evangelist David Wilkerson, was raised with a particular value. And as he traveled through life, he learned more about its importance.
That life-changing value, Wilkerson tells Dr. Steve Greene on the “Greenelines” podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network, is the biblical concept of honoring others. “When you bless others, you get blessed. When you honor others, you’re honored.”
“I feel that every person God has created is someone I need to honor. … In God’s economy, there is no ‘better than.’ We’re all created in His image, and every human deserves honor.”
In recent years, however, Wilkerson has observed the rapid deterioration of honor—both in the home and in society at large. And this prompted him to write his latest book, I Choose Honor: The Key to Relationships, Faith and Life.
“I was raised in an era where you honored your parents, you honored public school teachers,” Wilkerson says. “It’s just not there anymore.”
