Doing Family

CROWD Church Livestream

Welcome to CROWD Church! This week Matt Edmundson and co-hosts Anna Kettle and Dave Connolly discuss the topic of family from a Christian perspective. They explore the complexities of family life, including the different family structures, the challenges of marriage, and the financial issues that families can face.

Key Takeaways:

1. Intentionality in Building Family: Whether it's through biological families or extended ones, building and nurturing relationships requires intentionality. Including others in family life, such as single friends or extended community, reflects the biblical call to create inclusive, supportive environments.
2. Selflessness is Crucial in Family: In contrast to the self-centered values promoted by modern culture, healthy family dynamics require selflessness, where individuals prioritize the needs of others over their own. This reflects Christ's love and service, which strengthens marriages and family bonds.
3. Contentment and Financial Balance: Rather than constantly striving for more, practicing contentment with what you have helps reduce stress in family life. Aligning family goals with God’s provision and prioritising relationships over material gains fosters peace and harmony within the home.
