TLR 140: Fighting for Family with Chris & Julie Bennett

The Living Room with Joanna Weaver

In a world that seems intent on pulling families apart…

Chris and Julie Bennett stand firm on the importance of family as designed by God. We talk about so many things in this episode of The Living Room, because family is more than the people that live in your house. It extends to the family of God and the love we are to demonstrate to the world around us.

Chris and Julie share truths from their book, Fighting for Family: The Relentless Pursuit of Building Belonging, including:

• The importance of the concept of belonging
• Their journey from pastoring in Oklahoma to moving to Los Angeles with their family
• Overcoming personal challenges, including a cancer diagnosis and starting a new life in the middle of COVID-19
• The importance of creating a family mission statement and fostering a sense of belonging in church as well as at home
• How God provided and supported them through their trials
• Insights on building a community and the significance of family in today’s culture

I love Chris and Julie’s honesty as they share God’s faithfulness in the difficult times and the important part each of us play in the Family of God. Let’s keep pressing on together!
