About this episode

The episode discusses the misconception of the nuclear family as God's design and presents an alternative biblical perspective on family structure.

If you spend any time in conservative Christian circles, you're going to think we're absolutely nuts for saying this. Nuclear family is NOT the answer? No. It's not. It's not even close to biblical. And no, we're not advocating for some new invention that makes us no different than the culture we swim in. We believe that God created a much different family unit than the nuclear family, and that the nuclear family is an insane, extremely modern design. In this episode, we'll break down why the nuclear family isn't actually God's design, what IS His design, and how to live it out at home.
