This Month:

How do strong families and strong communities protect us in a time of crisis? What does the Bible say about the centrality of the family? How does this contrast with the prevailing secular ideas?                                                                                

In this episode, Dave and I look at these ideas:

• The nuclear family is the most foundational of the God-ordained institutions
• Strong families create strong community, which in turn make individuals resilient
• Strong families entail playing to our strengths and minimizing our weaknesses
• Secular thought weakens the family and the best alternative is the biblical framework for the nuclear family

• What role does a family play during a crisis?
• What are some differences between the Christian and secular conceptions of the family? 
• How do we avoid pride in our understanding of the family?
