Religion in our time has been captured by the tourist mindset. Religion is understood as a visit to an attractive site to be made when we have adequate leisure.

In Part 2, we want to share another example of what Family Church looks like in another household. Multiple illustrations are so valuable because no two families are alike. What works in our home may not work in yours. So we're hoping this blog series will simply encourage you to explore discipleship in your family's context.
Family Church is what we call the dedicated "sacred" time we spend with our kids each week. We eliminate all outside distractions. We set work aside. We enjoy each other's company. We turn our attention toward God. We invite His presence into our home to interact with us, teach us, and renew us. It's beautiful and it's simple.
In this short video clip, Joe explains the purpose of "The Table" and the L24 Seasonal Dinners. Hear why "recovering the lost art of hospitality" is so critical!
