Why are more and more families drifting apart, and what can be done to heal these deep rifts? Today, we are looking into the growing and heartbreaking reality of family estrangement—a problem affecting more than 67 million Americans.

Drawing from expert insights, recent studies, and Biblical examples like Joseph and the prodigal son, Virginia unpacks the root causes - from harsh parenting and value clashes to money disputes and shifting cultural norms.

She also explores the spiritual dimension of family breakdown, recognizing the attack on families as a central battleground for faith today.

Whether you're struggling with estrangement or hope to strengthen your family bonds, you can expect to gain new perspectives on why estrangement is such a problem in our society and what you can do about it.
