Summary

There have been some major societal, socioeconomic, cultural, and technological shifts over the past 150 years that have changed not just family structure, but who our children are becoming. In this episode, we ask the question: Is what culture is giving us right now beneficial for our family?

In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. In episode 2, Josh takes a 30,000 foot view of the changes throughout the last 150 years in the Western world and the corresponding changes in family structure and child outcomes. For example, he talks about the generational trend from resourceful to entitled to anxious, and the societal factors at play.

0:00.0	And what I want to do is for each of us to look at what is allowing our family to thrive.
0:04.4	And let's take these questions to Jesus.
0:07.2	Let's take these questions to a kingdom mindset.
0:09.7	Because every time Jesus, when Jesus came and walked this earth, he was flipping everything upside down on its head.
0:15.4	And I think these are the questions we need to ask because I think he has a way of us to live that is more life giving
0:21.9	than what the culture around us would give us for ourselves, for our marriages, and for our
0:27.4	children, and then ultimately for building the kingdom of God. Because if we're looking like

1:26.4	look at that. Christy and I did a little introduction on macro, the macro matrix that we find ourselves in, and then the
1:32.5	micro matrices, if you will, of that shape who we are, how we, first of all, originate,
1:39.7	develop and grow as humans. And the most important factor here for me, at least as it relates to this
1:47.5	entire season, is we are looking at what does it look like? Are we doing family? Are we leading
1:55.0	our families in the way that God would have us to lead our families? And I think at the end of the day,
