Nurturing Family

Families, both nuclear and extended, are growing more distant. Children are growing up without meaningful attachments to their grandparents, cousins, or relatives; adult siblings are less invested in each other’s lives; and parents are captive to managing family schedules rather than nurturing relationships. Both distance and an accelerated pace of life become the justifications for lack of meaningful engagement. The tyranny of the urgent triumphs over the much needed virtue of investing relationally in one another.

But Scripture has a different vision for family life. In it we see that nurturing family is imperative. Deuteronomy 11:19 does not hesitate to assert that there is an indisputable biblical basis for cultivating family relationships. This session will challenge us to reclaim the value of cultivating connection with family and what steps you can take to begin that cultivation right now.
