What Is The Family For? 

Toward a Positive, Christian Vision for the Family in Society

"The family is not a defense bunker against the wasteland of the marketplace;

it is a flower garden, a seedbed for raising the sort of people who are able to love their neighbors."

— Jake Meador, What Are Christians For?

By all accounts, the family as we know it is in crisis. 

• Divorce rates are sky high
• Single-parent homes are increasingly the norm
• The LGBTQ+ agenda continues to threaten natural families, including through some state laws
• Fewer people are getting married, and those that do are getting married later and later
• Digital media has thinned our relationships and ties to the broader community
• Surrogacy is becoming more mainstream
• Artificial wombs and other anti-family technology is currently in development
• And much more

Many people are trying to protect the family against these forces (and rightfully so!).

But few provide a robust, positive, and distinctly Christian vision for the family. 

That's exactly what Jake Meador does in this free chapter from his book What Are Christians For?: Life Together At The End Of The World.

In this chapter, "A Vision of Christian Belonging: The Household and the Sexual Revolution," Meador tackles topics like:

• The isolation of the family
• The family as the fountain of society
• The natural origins of the household
• The centrality of the natural family
• The role of celibacy in society
• Sex and the good life
• And more
