We are witnessing the God who elevates and affirms women—the God who raises the valley and brings mountains low—the God who levels the playing field—the God who invites every follower of Christ to be an equally legitimate member of His family, using the gifts He’s given each one of us to further His mission here on earth. 

To change a mind made up may seem near-impossible.

In this short story, Joe shares the history of his past involvement in the church, leading up to the moment he walked away from it all. But that's not where it ends! 

In Part 3, we want to share another example from an every-day family with kids of all ages. As the series continues, we hope you're beginning to see that no two families are alike, yet every household holds the potential to be a training ground for walking out our faith in real life.

In Part 2, we want to share another example of what Family Church looks like in another household.
