The Christian Household
The biblical pattern for the Christian home — marriage, parenting, courtship, and the family's life with the local church — including the hard cases and the path to restoration.
Orientation
Read in order
Part One — The Foundation: Creation, Fall, Redemption
Marriage, parenting, and courtship are not modern social arrangements.
Part Two — Husband and Wife: The Two Halves of the One Flesh
Part One established the foundation.
Part Three — Parents and Children: Generational Discipleship
Part Two treated the marriage between husband and wife.
Part Four — Courtship and Engagement: Preparing for Marriage
The way a couple enters marriage shapes the marriage they will have.
Part Five — The Family and the Local Church
The household and the local church are not separate institutions.
Part Six — Hard Cases and Pastoral Realities
Every body of believers will encounter the hard cases.
Part Seven — Restoration and Healing for Households
Many households reading this document will recognise themselves not in the full biblical picture but in the broken pieces of it.
Closing
From Eden to the new Jerusalem, the story of God’s redemption is told through households.
The household & couples tools
This document is the teaching; the platform carries the tools — a shared household view of one another's gifts, the private couple comparison for spouses and for courting couples, read-only parent and guardian oversight, and the Supportive Family Tools to disciple your home over the years.
These come with a Family membership; each member keeps their own free account.
