Hey guys, today we're going to talk about the destruction of the multi-generational family.

So one of the things we try to do here at family teams is try to understand what happened to the family and how to get back.

And this is a very difficult and dark period in history that we really need to study and understand.

Because part of what we're trying to dive into is why is the family so broken?

I know for so many people,

when they think about the family, they're like, this is crazy. Why would I start a family? It's got a

more than 50% in some cases failure rate. Even when there's not divorce, there are so many

families that have experienced real failure. And so would you get on a plane if the failure rate was around 50%?

Would you put your children on a plane with a failure rate like that? Of course not. And the family is

far more important than a plane. It is the structure that really shapes us in every single way,

spiritually, emotionally, physically, and

relationally. So we really need to be careful what's going on here and understand what happened.

And we believe, you guys, that the family is an incredible design. It is not designed to fail,

but we have adopted a new idea, a new design that is creating all of this brokenness. And all of this

happened long before any of us listening to this right now, we're born. And so we're not even aware

that we have created or adopted a novel family paradigm or blueprint that is obviously not

working. And instead of actually going back and studying

the different blueprints in history and trying to figure out how to rescue the family,

we just keep double and tripling down on this broken idea. So what happened to the

multigenerational family? What really broke it down? So it starts in a kind of an interesting

place. First of all, the Catholic Church.

I was not at all expecting to learn this.
