Conservative Christians Shouldn't Defend The Nuclear Family


Listen Later

It's strange to us that so many conservative Christians hold up the "nuclear family" as an ideal. The nuclear family has failed, and needs to be replaced.

Now, before you think we've gone crazy, let's talk about what it needs to be replaced by...

The TRADITIONAL (or, in Family Teams-speak, the "MULTI-GENERATIONAL") Family.

There's a huge difference.

Jeremy is joined by Tyler Graham and Chris Cirullo to talk about what that difference is, and how to get back to a Biblical blueprint of family that builds up and blesses, rather than tears down and destroys.

On this episode, we talk about:
