Pastor Galen rounds out or Family Fortress series tackling a set of difficult issues. The roles of men and women in the family, and in the church. He illuminates these principles with a few comparisons that may surprise you.

Moving through the Biblical image of the family structure, this week we focus on one of the most daunting of roles: being a parent.

Tiffany Erickson joins us today while we talk about the expectations of men in a marriage as described by the Bible, and how we dudes can go about living that out.

Last week, Galen spoke on the institution of marriage and where it fits in the world. In our second installment on the Biblical family structure, we look at the nature of the bond between a husband and wife.

You can get just a few words into the Biblical descriptions of household structure before you start running into things that strike 21st-Century ears the wrong way, which can lead us to ignoring the subject. Jacob and Kasey talk abou the difference between honoring and blindly obeying, between headship and responsibility, and ask guys an important question...

We start a new series this week, and just as a disclaimer, this one will require patience and carefull listening. We will cover the God-ordained, Biblical model of a family. These are parts of scripture we like to glaze over, because we're afraid they're saying something we won't like, when in fact it shows a loving and beautiful structure. These are words that can be weaponized, but when we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we can see through to the Truth.

Part one covers the three institutions ordained by God according to scripture: family, government and the Church.

We finish off our sermon series about checking our worldview and beliefs against the reality of God's Truth with a big one: the fact that you and I and all of us are made in the image of God, and all the complexity that comes with that!

One argument those who question the Christian worldview bring is the "problem" of Evil. If God is good, how or why does He allow evil to exist. It turns out, this is actually more a problem for other worldviews to explain, as it fits right into the True image of reality provided in Christian belief. How, you ask? I guess you'll have to listen to today's sermon.

This week's sermon not only neatly laid out some of the primary ideas of this series, it offered us a truth it's easy to forget: God put YOU in this place, in this time, all on purpose. So how do we figure out what that reason is?

Guest speaker Keith Kautz succinctly lays out the process for testing our world-views against reality as we continue our series about God's truth, and how we can get it mixed up.
