🎧 FAMILY: Is It Just a Label? (Part 1) | The Wrong Words Podcast

“When I hear the word family, the first thing I think is broken.”

In this deeply personal and provocative conversation, Oliver Marcelle and Luvon Dungee crack open the word Family — and what pours out is a raw mix of tradition, trauma, truth, and tenderness.

Part 1 of this episode goes beyond the dictionary definitions and dives into what family really means — not just structurally, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

🔥 You’ll hear:

• The stunningly simple dictionary definitions of “family” — and why they don’t match what most of us experience

• A challenge to the term church family — are we using it correctly or emotionally?

• Why some of us see family as a haven… and others as a hostage situation

• A vulnerable confession about never learning how to “do” family, holidays, or tradition — and how that shaped adulthood

📚 We explore:

• Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic roots of the word "family" — and how its original meaning centered on service, household, and tribe

• Why “family” might actually mean community with structure and shared service

• When “family” stops being family — and what separates a label from a lived reality

💭 With zero notes and real-time reflections, this conversation is as authentic as it is unsettling. It’ll have you asking yourself: Am I misusing the word family?
