About the Guest

Sometimes we do judge a book by its cover. Whether you can be a leader at church, teach classes, or work with students is sometimes determined by your marital story. Our goal at FamilyLife is “Every home a godly home;†but that does not mean “every home a biological, nuclear home.†Love and grace can characterize people in complex families, too. Be careful not to limit people based solely on family structure. Ultimately, teaching them to love Jesus and love each other is the goal.

Can every home be a godly home?
Ron: Can every home be a godly home?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Sometimes we do judge a book by its cover. Sometimes we determine things about people, for example, based on their family structure. Whether you can be a leader at church, teach classes, or work with students is sometimes determined by your marital story. Our goal at FamilyLife is “Every home a godly home;” but that does not mean “every home a biological, nuclear home.” Love and grace can characterize people in complex families, too.
Let’s be careful not to limit people based solely on family structure. Ultimately, getting people in the right family structure in not the goal. Teaching them to love Jesus, and love each other, is. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
