What if one of the greatest battlegrounds shaping society isn’t only cultural or political, but the historical battle for the polarization of family?

In this episode, Brett is joined by Dr. Charlie Self to trace the historical and philosophical shifts that have shaped how we view family. From Enlightenment thinkers who championed its importance, to Marxist critiques that dismissed it as a capitalist construct, they unpack how ideas have influenced, and in some cases undermined, this essential foundation of human life.

Together, they wrestle with the decline of traditional family norms, the pressures facing modern households, and the polarizing effects of technology and societal change. Through Dr. Self’s rich historical insight, the conversation points toward a vision of restoration: how the church and communities today can strengthen, support, and empower families to flourish once again.
