In today’s world, families rarely eat together. Yet this is a far cry from the biblical model, which pictures family mealtime as a blessing, describing “children like olive plants all around [one’s] table” (Ps. 128:3). In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Bill Roach, give ten reasons families should eat together daily: (1) it solidifies family culture; (2) it creates a rhythmic predictability about life; (3) it gets you off the Internet with real people; (4) it facilitates family joy; (5) it creates stories; (6) it surfaces problems; (7) it covers the news and world events; (8) it transmits values; (9) it cultivates belonging; and (10), it is generationally balanced.

So don’t let life’s distractions keep you from the family table—make eating together, each day, a top priority!

The Western church is in shambles. It has become lukewarm and compromised because of a love for the world, a lack of an awestruck fear of God, and a watered-down view of His grace and sovereignty. In answer to this crisis Kevin Swanson has issued an urgent call-to-arms in his new book, Strong: An Urgent Call to Strengthen the Things that Remain. Pulling no punches, he calls out Christians to reject escapist pursuits—be it through alcohol, sports, the Internet, or other off-ramps from reality—and pursue a stronger grace, a stronger faith, a stronger church, and stronger families.

Join Scott Brown and Jason Dohm in today’s podcast as they break down the book with Kevin.

God created women to do particular things—the most wonderful things! They take care of husbands, children, and homes, and selflessly give themselves to raise the next generation. This theme will be the focus at our annual Father and Daughter Retreat as we encourage young women to “lead a quiet life” (1 Thess. 4:11), rather than chase fulfillment elsewhere.
