About the Guest
-
Sometimes we hold on to what was, refusing to stay current with what is. Like what we envision when we say the word “family.†More than half of the U.S. population is single. Children are increasingly being raised in blended and single parent families. One in six newlywed couples is interethnic. Hey, look, nontraditional is the new traditional. Now, accepting this reality does not mean giving up on God’s design for the family. It just helps us reach today’s audience with his truth.

Ron: Sometimes we hold on to what was, refusing to stay current with what is. Like what we envision when we say the word “family.” More than half of the U.S. population is single. Children are increasingly being raised in blended and single parent families. One in six newlywed couples is interethnic. And 25 years ago less than 8% of families reflected what we used to be called the traditional family.
Hey, look, nontraditional is the new traditional. Now, accepting this reality does not mean giving up on God’s design for the family. It just helps us reach today’s audience with his truth. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
