Relationships: Can I Trust Authority? | Mark Swayze | Shift

Authority is one of the hardest things to talk about—especially as a teenager. Parents, teachers, coaches… even rules in general can feel like they’re getting in the way of freedom. In the first week of our new Relationships series, this message reframes authority the way Scripture does: not as control, but as covering—God’s way of protecting, forming, and guiding you. The deeper question underneath rebellion isn’t just “Why do they get to tell me what to do?”—it’s “Can I trust them, or do I have to protect myself?” We also talk through how to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy authority, what to do when authority has hurt you, and how to honor authority figures—even when they don’t follow Jesus—without compromising your faith or ignoring necessary boundaries. 📖 Scriptures: Romans 13:1; Mark 10:43–45; Acts 5:29; Ephesians 6:1 🎙️ Speaker: Rev.
