DBFA 300 Marriage, Family and Faith: Basic Worldviews

The evolving definitions of marriage and the family are among the most controversial social issues in America today. How Christians navigate the complexities of these issues matters greatly for both an eternal impact on individual families, but also as it pertains to societal impact regarding the direction of a nation. There is a need to understand the history and current landscape of these conflicting world-views and provide the foundations of a plan for the preservation of traditional Judeo-Christian values, as well as the well-being of the family.
