Welcome to Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge.

As many of you know, you can find the show notes for these episodes at our website at relearn.org.

And for more information at relearn.org is to bring the church back to the Bible and to increase biblical literacy among Christians.

Welcome to today's episode titled three biblical principles to consider before you move.

We have so many people.

As COVID has changed the landscape of our culture and made it clear that most modern jobs can be carried out remotely.

And this cultural shift really has granted millions upon millions of families the ability to relocate to a more desired location.

But as Christians who are slaves and servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, how are we to think about relocation?

To just use the same criteria as the rest of the culture?

I mean, are we to just move because we want to be closer to family or to have better political leaders or to make more money or to be in a different climate?

Now, there's nothing necessarily sinful about those reasons for relocation, but are they the guiding criteria that Christians should use when planning to relocate their family?

So in this episode, I'm going to explain why I think Christians should use a different set of principles and will be sharing the three overarching criteria that our family used to choose our family's new location.

But before we begin, just wanted to mention a few things. If you have not heard, I did a pretty big life update post on Instagram. If you don't follow our ministry on Instagram, just at relearn, you'll find it or just type in relearn.org on Instagram.

I posted on Facebook as well. You can find it there and get a quick update on our life and our move and why my health.

So that's one thing. The second thing is I've shared several times now on social media, but for those of you who are looking for a playlist of biblical worship music, I have personally curated a playlist on Spotify.

If you just type biblical worship into the playlist search bar or to the search bar on Spotify, you'll likely find that you'll find my name there. And I also did one called biblical hip hop. Yes, I do love hip hop. And you guys can find that there.
