Summary
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:
0:00 Intro
1:15 Should we really be defending the "Nuclear Family"?
4:37 "The nuclear family has failed" article
11:25 The paradigm shift from modern to traditional family
22:12 Does the nuclear family actually work?
27:31 The traditional family was a business enterprise
31:17 Multiple generations in DAILY contact
33:11 Traditional family as part of a broader congregation
43:09 Do you believe family is a vehicle?
51:04 Take courage and be hopeful!
