What if a more ancient way to do family is better than our way today?

The chaos and burnout your family experiences aren’t because things just “got busy.” The days aren’t going to feel more peaceful when the kids are a different age or after you can finally get away for a weekend or when your spouse wraps up that latest work project.

Because we’ve blindly accepted the Western, hyper-individualistic view of family , so many families feel as if they’re drowning. The team aspect of families supporting each other has been a missing nutrient for decades—and our unstable, weary homes show it.

When Jefferson Bethke and his wife, Alyssa, were wrestling with how to create a healthy Christian family, they dug deep into what the Bible says about having a purpose-oriented family that follows after God. They began to live out what they learned—and their family flourished. Then they began sharing their discovery with families across the country, and others joined in, opting out of our Western concept of family and embracing God’s beautiful, radical design to be multi-generational teams on mission.
