Before we get into the show today, I wanted you to hear one message that was left for us. Check this out.

Family life today is wonderful. What a great resource for us believers who are raising our families dealing with relationships.

Thank you so much.

You've hit on so many items with children, with a mother-in-law, just even in our own marriage. Just keep doing the good work God puts

before you. You're doing a wonderful job. Thank you. Isn't that cool to hear? Well, when you partner with us all month long, your

donation will be matched dollar for dollar if you choose to sign up to be a

monthly partner with family life today. So that means if you give a gift of $25 is going to turn

into 50 magically by the grace of God. If you give $100 it's going to turn into

200. So every gift that you give for the rest of the month is going to be matched dollar for dollar if you become a monthly partner with us.

You can go to familylife today.com to learn more.

All right, let's get into the show. How can we be at this point in church history 2,000 years in?

And this is not a normal part of the evangelical tradition. Why is it that it's so rare to me to son that says,

my father raised me into a man, he did a great job and I'm a healthy functional adult because of it?

Why is that an exception, not the norm? I don't know why there's not

some sort of great tradition that is handed down, even inside the church, it's like

why does it feel like every generation has to rediscover this? Why do we always feel like we're starting at zero? Like the conversation

is back at the ground floor. Welcome to Family Life Today

Family Life Today where we want to help you pursue the relationships that

matter most.

I'm Shelby Abbott and your hosts are Dave and Ann Wilson.
