Was the Nuclear Family a Mistake?
Apr 27, 2020 Season 1 Episode 3
Fr. Bryan Wandel, Fr. Andrew Thebeau, Dn. Matt Traylor, James Kibby

What's wrong with the nuclear family in the 21st century? What role does it play in the church and in the life of discipleship.

We're continuing to seek a sacred world in a secular age, and today we're following up on a point made at the end of our last episode on Smartphones. Namely, how have we changed the way intergenerational relationships work over the years? What are we doing wrong that we're not even seeing?

We're using a resource that made our heads turn immediately after recording the episode on smartphones:
