Summary

Welcome to episode 1 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

This series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below). You can use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

Have you ever given thought to how your "household" is being defined? Or put another way, how often do you consider the direction your family is heading? Or the connectedness you feel with each other? What if our struggles as a family and the longings we have are tied to the post Industrial Revolution individualistic culture we find ourselves immersed in? Could there be a different way?

In this episode, we talk about the meaning of the word "household" and how it applies to your family.

We talk about:

Why it's important to be curious, not intimidated by the dissonance we feel.
How to let go of "the chase" and refocus on prioritizing your family cohesion.
How to discover and step into your family's uniqueness.
Why it's beneficial train your kids to be creators, not consumers.
