Summary

What if there was one, single, metric we could track to tell whether or not we were actually on track to restoring God's vision for family?

There's a lot of noise, a lot of competing priorities in the world, BUT...

I think we've found one metric.

We call it:

3 Generations, 1 Table, Every Week.

If you can build this rhythm into your family, it's almost inevitable that you'll become a multi-generational family team.

This episode covers exactly what this metric is, and how to achieve it.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:00 Intro

1:10 The One Metric To Track When Restoring Biblical Family Blueprint

5:36 Practical Step For Starting a Multigenerational Weekly Meal

10:37 The Use of a Single Metric

19:25 Ripple Effects of This Meal

22:19 An Answer To Demographic Decline?
