Home Insteading

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines the concept of Home Insteading and encourages Christians to consider alternative options to traditionally accepted practices. He suggests that while Scripture offers certain guidelines, there are areas where believers have the freedom to make choices that align with their values. Gregg advocates for home births, Christian education, and the option of self-employment or home-based businesses, cautioning against blindly following dominant culture practices that may not reflect godly principles. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to prayerfully consider these matters and make decisions according to their own conscience.
