How We Got Here

Episode Summary

In this episode, we trace the story of family worship from the early 1900s to today. We look at how the Industrial Revolution, the efficiency movement, and the rise of youth culture reshaped both the church and the home. We also dive into the role of historic church manuals, which once held families accountable for discipling their children, and how their decline shifted the expectation of faith formation away from parents. Together, these well-intentioned changes paved the way for age-siloed ministries and left many families without a clear model for worship at home. Most importantly, we explore how you can begin reclaiming a culture of family worship—bringing discipleship back into the everyday rhythms of your home.
