198 The Origin and Meaning of the ”Domestic Church”

On Tuesday, October 18, host Trey Cashion reviewed the article, "Domestic Church? Hold On, It's Just a Family!" by Word on Fire Institute Fellow Robert Mixa. Especially in light of the recent sixtieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, Trey wanted to revisit the concept of the domestic church, an idea central to the Church Fathers that was resuscitated by the council. Listen in to learn about the origin of the term, its connection to the Jewish understanding of the family in Scripture, and how realizing we are domestic churches should lead us to a more evangelical posture as families. Remember, only God can take the mystery out of parenthood. Pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you. He will!
