Families vs Individuals (Part 4)

Toward a Radically Christian Counterculture
Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg

In this thought-provoking talk, Steve Gregg explores the concept of family within a Christian context. He argues that the family unit is a hierarchical structure ordained by God and that children are expected to respect and obey their parents. However, he underlines the importance of avoiding compromises and errors that may arise when children leave their homes to start their own families. Gregg also highlights the role of subordination in all aspects of life and the need to honor those in authority, without compromising one's faith in God.
