We often build family life around what we’ve come to know as the American Dream. That’s not necessarily bad, but is it enough?

Relationships can get twisted. But God provides help for forming tight family circles rather than ending up in knots.

Misfit roles in families can lead to disaster but we can thrive when we play our roles well.

Charades is a fun game to play with family but it’s disastrous when it’s played among family members. God makes it possible for us to be real with each other.

Families play all kinds of games, games like Monopoly, Life or Risk. These games can be enjoyable but sometimes they reveal the relational games families play. It’s one thing to blow up when the dice don’t roll in your favor.

But what do we do when our patterns of relating send us back to the start or leave us feeling like the loser?

A special message from The Grove’s founding pastor, Jerry Conner

We investigate a spiritual urban legend that becomes most believable when we don’t want to change or don’t think change is possible. But God tells us a different story.

As we celebrate our country’s 245th birthday we ask “What is the role of government according to God?”

What we find is that human government is an institution created by God to be

of the people, by the people and

for the good of the people.
